Building a sustainable and inclusive future together
At Cleanaway, our employees come from diverse backgrounds, experience, skills and needs. This gives us a deep appreciation of the competitiveness, flexibility, and resilience that diversity brings. Where it’s a different background or a different way of thinking, we see how our business is stronger with those perspectives being heard.

Pillars for success
Our Diversity and Inclusion Engagement Plan is built on three pillars which will ensure we continue to grow and nurture a diverse workforce by increasing representation of difference and improving inclusiveness across the business. This includes attracting, retaining and developing key talent within Cleanaway while balancing meritocracy, fairness and equality. The three pillars are underpinned by a commitment from our leadership team to a genuine and pragmatic approach to diversity and inclusion. This will be governed and continuously reviewed by Cleanaway’s Diversity and Inclusion Working Group.
ENGAGEMENT
Stronger Together
Our Stronger Together value speaks to the strength and resilience our business achieves by leveraging the diversity of experience, background, education and perspective from across our workforce. By promoting awareness, increasing education and communicating different stories of diversity within our business and to our stakeholders, we will improve inclusivity and the recognition of our company as an employer of choice.
WORKFORCE PROFILE
Demographics & Female Participation
Our diversity and inclusion focus considers our workforce profile from the perspective of our demographics – multi-cultural / ethnic diversity and age as well as our current focus of female participation. The aim is to create a greater awareness and appreciation of our already diverse workplace and demonstrate inclusiveness through recruiting, developing and retaining a workforce that reflects the make-up of the Australian.
