Challenging the status quo

Our pledges

Integrity, empathy and ethics are essential for business success and for the long-term welfare of people and the planet. We’ve channelled these values into three key pledges.

Champion inclusive economic growth

Everyone should feel the benefits of economic growth, not just a select few. Through our supply chain programs, international expansion and diverse client projects, we’re unlocking new opportunities and driving growth worldwide.

Build a sustainable future

Certified to ISO14001, our approach to sustainability aligns with achieving Ireland’s carbon reduction goals - halving our greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and reaching net zero by 2050.

Protect our people and yours

A zero-safety incident record is our highest priority. It’s why we are certified to ISO 45001. We mitigate health and safety construction risks through a multi-level strategy, including Dynamic Risk Assessment protocols, Daily Action Plans on all projects and health and safety workshops.

Ardmac Cycle for Pieta House

Back in October, the Duke McCaffrey team took part in the Ardmac Cycle, for Pieta House.

Pieta House provides a free, professional, one-to-one therapeutic service for people who are struggling with their mental health and are experiencing all degrees of suicidal ideation.

The Duke McCaffrey team planned to complete the 65km cycle, but due to a wrong turn, most of them did almost 80km, with two of the team totalling 88km! despite this, our very soggy team didn't shy away from the strong winds and sudden downpours!

CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY AT DUKE MCCAFFREY

Corporate social responsibility is closely tied to our mission to build a brighter, greener future for all. Our culture is purpose-driven, sustainability-focused and people-centered.
