Friday 3rd May was our 4th annual Global Day for People + Planet! Our Shaw Contract team joined together around the globe to give back to our local communities.

Starting on the east coast of Australia we passed the baton all around the globe; throughout Asia, UK & Continental Europe, Middle East and Africa, Latin America, USA and finishing on the west coast of Canada - we gave associates time off to join their colleagues across the whole company to volunteer their services.
