Our Values
Our people are guided by our purpose and four values - Protect, Be Bold, Customer Leading, and Better Together
These values help us create the kind of workplace that delivers great results, in the right way.
Inclusion and Diversity
Fletcher Building believes in a workplace where differences in gender, gender identity, age, race, nationality, sexual orientation, physical ability, thinking style and background are welcomed and included.
It’s important that all our people can access the opportunities available and can bring their ‘whole self’ to work. We will put ourselves in others’ shoes, learn from each other and speak up when things don’t seem right.
Some of our activities to support inclusion and diversity are:
-
We provide training and educational support for our people through our Employee Educational Fund.
-
Our people-led action groups – Lōkahi, Tātai, the Equality Network Group, and FB Pride promote inclusion and mentoring across our business.
-
Our Māori and Pasifika leadership programme, Whakatupu-Iatupu is developing a pipeline of Māori and Pasifika leaders.
-
We offer Gender Affirmation Leave of 10 days paid leave for people transitioning and provide guidelines to help people leaders and colleagues support those transitioning.
Our Reflect Reconciliation Action Plan
Reconciliation is an important part of how we build an inclusive, respectful, and culturally connected workplace and community.
Since launching our Reflect Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP), we have made meaningful progress in strengthening relationships, deepening cultural understanding, and embedding reconciliation across our business.
Key achievements include identifying the Traditional Custodians at each of our 93 sites, building partnerships with First Nations businesses and communities, implementing Acknowledgement of Country protocols, and creating opportunities for cultural learning and engagement across the organisation.
We are proud to celebrate significant events such as National Reconciliation Week and NAIDOC Week, while continuing to listen, learn, and grow.
In 2025, we reached an important milestone with the launch of our Innovate RAP, reinforcing our long-term commitment to meaningful action and creating positive outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, communities, and businesses.
Our reconciliation artwork
As part of the development of our first Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP), we commissioned a piece of art to create a visual representation of our reconciliation journey as an organisation. With our partners at YarnnUp, we engaged First Nations graphic designer and artist, Elaine Chambers-Hegarty, to create this design.
This artwork, which you will see throughout the our RAP document, presents a central yarning circle that speaks to the Fletcher Building value of ‘customer leading’ with the yellow representing customers, including the broader community that the organisation interfaces with. There is also clear representation of the organisation including executives, leaders, employees and business units, providing strategic input to display how the brands and values are intertwined.
This dovetails into the organisational approach towards reconciliation and the joint effort and alignment towards greater cultural capability towards First Nations peoples, organisations and communities.
