At Avoca
Pools & Landscape Inc. we strongly believe that every
company or organisation, large or small, has a very real
responsibility and accountability to its employees, the
community in which it operates and the natural environment.
In today's world no entity can operate successfully or morally
without adopting this approach, known as Corporate Social
Responsibility (CSR) and should not desire to either.
The
level of knowledge about, and genuine concern for, the environment
in all segments of the population has never been higher
than it is currently and it is very important for companies
to be held accountable and responsible for the consequences
of their actions, especially if detrimental to our natural
environment.
Our
aim is to become a completely carbon neutral company which
will be reflected in all of our purchasing and policy decisions,
as well as the product lines that we offer to our clients.
Over the next year we will be very proactive in the pursuit
of this environmental rating, ensuring that our ecological
footprint is as small as possible and our impact on the
environment under normal operating conditions is negligible.
Along
with the natural environment, we believe it is extremely
important to foster and maintain a close relationship with
the community in which we operate and make our living. Without
the support of these communities our company, and countless
others like it, would not exist and as a result we feel
it is our duty to reinvest a percentage of our profits back
into supporting them through donations of money and time
to local charities and events.
Our
employees are what make us successful and we work very hard
to treat them with utmost respect and offer them great working
conditions with ample opportunity for advancement. We believe
in hiring from within our community, if young people stay
for work it means more money stays in the community which
directly and indirectly benefits everyone living within
it. Promotion from within is company policy and pay rates
and frequency of pay raises surpass that commonly found
in this industry. Starting wages are well above award and
rise in tune with each individual's willingness to learn
and take on extra responsibilities.
At Avoca
Pools & Landscape Inc. we fully realize that without
the well-being and vitality of our employees, our community
and our natural environment we could not survive and with
that in mind, we are totally committed to them and will
not compromise when it comes to our belief in the nurturing
of each and every one.
