genU supports reponsibility

Not-for-profit welfare agency genU understands the importance of corporate social responsibility.

Corporate social responsibility is fundamental to growing our community, and recent growth at genU has highlighted the importance of social accountability.

genU experienced substantial change with the merging of established Geelong disability and community services organisations Karingal and St Laurence, along with the integration of Employment Services Group and IPA.

The changes led to a stronger, more-diverse business which now operates from more than 150 locations across Australia.

While growing the business was a key strategy in increasingly competitive service markets, genU also maintained its core aim of delivering the best outcomes for clients and their families.

Building genU in a framework which considers the social, financial and environmental impact on business stakeholders was vital to ensuring the long-term growth of the business, and maintaining its reputation as one of Geelong’s leading not-for-profit organisations.

genU is proud to sponsor the 2019 Corporate Social Responsibility Award, which celebrates a business that has accepted their corporate social responsibility and promotes inclusion in the workplace, community or other area that has led towards the enrichment of the lives of people with disability or who are disadvantaged.

At last year’s Geelong Business Awards, genU won the best Medium to Large Business of the Year award and chief executive officer Mike McKinstry was recognised as the Business Leader of the Year.

genU congratulates all the nominees and winners at the 2019 Awards.
