CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Corporate Social Responsibility

At MA Services Group, we are committed to operating in an ethical, sustainable, and socially responsible manner. Our commitment is built on three key focus areas: Our Community, Our People, and Our Planet. We have developed a strategy that support these key areas and considers the broader impact we have on society, the environment, and the economy.

This approach has driven us to form partnerships and take actions to support our communities, encourage healthier and more sustainable choices, and ensure that we give back as a business.

The Committee:

Our Community

Supporting the LGBTQI+ community

Philanthropy

As Supporting Partners of Red Kite (Australia’s leading childhood cancer support charity) we provide financial support to RedKite which is distributed towards their most urgent areas. These are funds for families under financial strain as a result of their child being diagnosed with cancer, bereavement and counselling support or programs such as music therapy delivered at hospital.
