O.P. Industries has joined Building Futures, Breaking Barriers as a Founding Project Supporter, supporting work to create a more inclusive plumbing and fire protection industry.
The partnership reflects our commitment to respectful workplaces where people can build lasting careers. As Group General Manager Brendan Dozzi explained in the project’s announcement, inclusion is important to retaining skilled employees and strengthening the workforce for the future.
Through the Supporter pledge, O.P. Industries supports education about barriers to inclusion, listening to people’s experiences, and encouraging respectful behaviour and inclusive leadership. The pledge also supports opening opportunities, particularly for women, and addressing barriers to entering the industry, participating fully and progressing in their careers.
This work is about the everyday experience of being part of our industry: how people are welcomed, supported and given opportunities to develop.
