At Ardmac, our SkyBlue Programme allows us to ethically and responsibly manage all aspects of our operations. Throughout 2022, we ran several initiatives which allowed us to encourage well-being amongst our team, give back to our community and work in sustainable ways. As we enter into 2023, our SkyBlue programme will continue to support our teams mental and physical health, promote diversity and inclusion throughout our business and beyond, protect our environment and give back to our nominated charities.

Cycle for Hope 2022 2022 was our fifth year partnering with Pieta House. With an increasing number of employees in the construction industry suffering from mental health issues, Ardmac is proud to support Pieta House in delivering their life-saving mental health and suicide prevention services. Our second annual Cycle for Hope fundraiser took place on October 9th and saw us raise €68,500 for Pieta House. Cycle for Hope is something tangible Ardmac do to support mental health, raise awareness of the services available and raise money to fund the services. For 2023, we are looking to expand our Skyblue committee. This committee looks at volunteering and charity opportunities, best practise for sustainability and how we can improve our diversity, inclusion and equality efforts. We are looking for fresh ideas and new perspectives. The spaces to join the team are limited, committee meetings are bi-monthly. If you are interested please get in touch before 3rd of March.
We encouraged well-being by inviting a range of speakers to our office to support our message around mental well-being and stress management. In 2022, 22 members of our team became certified mental health first aiders, bringing the total number of people trained to 39. Mental health first aiders support their colleagues in seeking professional support with mental health challenges.
