Sustainability

Hooker Cockram takes a proactive approach to sustainability.

We aim to be a sustainable organisation and we work with clients and suppliers to ensure that all our endeavours are strategically and culturally implemented to achieve:

  • economically sustainable development,
  • protection of the environment, and
  • social enrichment.

Hooker Cockram’s commitment to sustainability can be shown by many examples of best practice across the group, including:

  • We have initiated training for key senior staff who are now accredited Green Star ™ professionals. Green Star ™ is the officially recognised environmental rating system for buildings in Australia, led by the Green Building Council of Australia.
  • We operate under an accredited ISO14001 management system in Australia and we develop project specific Environmental Management Plans (EMP).
  • We have constructed numerous environmentally sustainable buildings in Australia and overseas. We are familiar with the Australian Green Star requirements and LEED requirements in the Ameriicas and China.
  • We aim to benefit society and have implemented our Community 2-day initiative, where staff members are offered paid leave to allow them to undertake volunteer work with a charity or community organisation of their choice. This initiative started in Australia and has expanded to all divisions.
