Partnerships

Brickworks is committed to social responsibility in our communities and we aim to make a valued contribution to our communities.

Sustainable Partnerships

As one of Australia’s largest and most diverse building products manufacturers, Brickworks Building Products takes its position of industry leadership seriously. We believe the group and its member companies have a responsibility not only to our shareholders and employees but also to the industry, environment, and the wider community. It is for this reason we consider our partnerships carefully and endeavor to align with other firms who share our vision and values for a more sustainable future.

Think Brick

Think Brick is the peak body representing Australia’s clay brick and paver manufacturing industry. Brickworks is a national member as both firms support the vision of inspiring brick architecture and building design in all areas of the built environment: commercial, residential, and landscape.

Our partnership with Think Brick has enabled Brickworks to support ongoing research programs at the University of Newcastle, contributing significantly to the industries understanding of the thermal performance of Australian housing. A Study of the Thermal Performance of Australian Housing Phase II was recently published, demonstrating the thermal benefits and performance of bricks compared to lightweight cladding used in housing construction.

Housing Industry Association

The Housing Industry Association (HIA) is the official body of Australia’s home building industry. Brickworks has aligned with the HIA to promote industry standards in our goal towards becoming Australia’s best building products company.

Australian Brick & Block Training Foundation

Brickworks has partnered with the Australian Brick & Block Training Foundation (ABBTF) who help ensure there is an adequate and competent bricklaying and block laying workforce to support the market. The scheme also works to improve the standing of bricklayers and block layers within the industry. The funding received from the bricklayer training levy goes towards these necessary training schemes.
