COMPANY PRINCIPLES & PRACTICES
At Bluestar Civil the way we do business is underpinned by our principles.
Spirit, Trust, Open Mindedness, Commitment, Respect, Teamwork and Accountability are not just buzz words to Bluestar; they are the principles that we believe in as individuals and are reflected in the way we undertake our daily business.
Spirit
At Bluestar we belive inspiration is the wellspring of personal energy, and energy is the fuel for high performance.
Trust
Bluestar's long term financial strength is dependent on various commercial partners choosing to do business with us. To build these relationships we act with integrity and deliver on our promises. We believe that people want to do business with a company they can trust.
To Bluestar this means creating long term supportive relationships built on openness and trust. Productive relationships bring new thinking, energy and ideas.
Open Mindedness
We are committed to knowing our clients and partners, and learning about their business, their immediate needs and their big picture plans. By developing a better understanding of our clients and partners and their unique organisational cultures we can better service and support their businesses - from a need or concept, to the delivery of the solution, and beyond.
Our business has grown as a result of the efforts of forward thinking and inspired people, innovation, energy and passion. We strive for innovation and for continuous improvement of quality, systems and processes.
We innovate every day.
Commitment
Regardless of the circumstances we are committed do to everything in our power to honour commitments to our clients, employees, the community and the environment. We are committed to growth and development but honour the reciprocal responsibility to practice patience, nurturance and encouragement.
Respect
Others
We aim to treat others with the utmost respect. Regardless of differences in position, title, age, or other distinction, we aim to always treat others with professional respect and courtesy.
Community
Aim to create positive legacies for communities that extend beyond the benefits delivered by the project.
Good community relations are about communication. While it’s important for us to listen to the community and obtain their feedback, it’s also important to explain what we’re doing and why we’re doing it, so the constraints and opportunities available are understood during the project delivery phase.
Teamwork
We achieve business success by providing a fulfilling and rewarding work environment that fosters teamwork, career development and personal growth. We enjoy challenges, recognise performance and celebrate successes.
Accountability
Accountability and responsibility to our clients, our company, our people and our stakeholders is principle that is at the heart of our company.
It is our philosophy that each of our employees takes accountability for their own safety and wellbeing as well as that of the person who stands beside them.
We are accountable for our actions becuase we believe the old adage "actions speak louder than words".
Practices
Knowledge, skill, desire. We know what to do. We know how to do it. We want to get it done.
We believe that character, is a composite of habit. As wise man once said; ”Sow a thought, reap an action, sow an action, reap a habit, sow a habit, reap a character, sow a character, reap a destiny.”
In other words, we are what we do. We aim to make excellance not just an action, but a habbit.
POLICIES
HEALTH & SAFETY
Beyond management systems, leadership, processes and open reporting - our people have a genuine dedication to safety and health. Our people take personal responsibility for minimising risk at the workplace.
Health and safety is paramount - every person we touch deserves to go home each day in the same or better health than they arrived.
Our safety policy is simple: Watch the person who stands beside you like a brother; protect him from harm.
ENVIRONMENT
The earth will be here long after we have gone. Our environmental policy is simple: "Listen to your heart and think from what you see." From that starting point, it is easy to see what your next step should be.
We implement innovative systems and encourage positive behaviours to recycle and reduce consumption of resources.
