Building Stronger Communities

At Humes, we strive to be responsible, safe and ethical in everything we do.

The communities in which we operate enable our business — and we work to earn that trust every day. Through open communication, respectful engagement and responsible operations, we build long-term relationships with local stakeholders across Australia.

We recognise that our licence to operate is earned through listening, acting responsibly and contributing positively to the communities around our sites.

Social Impact Strategy

As part of Holcim Australia & New Zealand, Humes supports the 2030 Social Impact Strategy, centred around three pillars:

Infrastructure & Housing

Access to safe housing and infrastructure remains one of the world’s most pressing challenges.

Through our expertise in engineered concrete solutions and partnerships with communities, governments and industry, we contribute to projects that strengthen essential infrastructure and improve living standards.

Livelihoods

We support initiatives that enhance livelihoods in the communities where we operate.
Across housing, health, education and skills development, Holcim invests in programs that create long-term social value and economic opportunity.

Human Rights

Upholding the highest standards of human rights is fundamental to how we operate.

Holcim’s policies align with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises. Through due diligence and responsible business practices, we work to ensure fair, respectful and inclusive workplaces and supply chains.
