The building industry is vital to the Australian economy, being one of the largest contributors to the nation's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and one of its largest employers.

Qattro believes that being part of Australia's building industry places an obligation on companies to positively contribute to the communities in which they operate. Qattro values the communities in which it builds homes and is committed to giving something back to them.

One of the most significant ways the company seeks to contribute to local communities is by using and employing, wherever possible, tradesmen, materials and services from the same geographic locations as its projects. This is in addition to the local staff employed directly at head office, which also generates further business for the state as a whole. Qattro is committed to planning, implementing and evaluating its contributions so that the outcomes are in the best interests of the wider community. Some of the factors that make up its planned community contribution include:

·         Supporting community projects

·         Gifts and monetary donations to worthy causes

·         Supporting small-scale local community programs

·         Valuing employees and their families

Qattro aims to manage its business in a way that produces positive outcomes for all stakeholders and maximizes economic, social and environmental gains at the same time. In doing so, Qattro accepts the social responsibilities associated with this, which extend beyond both strict legal obligations and the financial bottom line.

Qattro also believes in the need for and are working towards developing a Zero Harm policy for our work practices. The company strives to strike a balance between achieving financial prosperity through growth and activity, and minimizing any effects its actions may have on the environment and the community.
