Laing O'Rourke works in communities throughout Australia, from remote country towns to major city locations. In our business we are in the unique position of being part of these communities for a period of time - we can either waste the opportunity, or do some simple things that add a lasting positive legacy when we leave.

We take this responsibility very seriously and commit to working openly and honestly with the communities in which we operate. Our focus in community sustainability is to build constructive relationships in the following areas:

• Help disadvantaged Australian youth get back into the workforce
• Develop and implement a Community Engagement framework across the company
• Establish a Sustainability Grants scheme for community groups
• Develop community innovation partnerships
