At GDM we have a strong culture of learning as we operate cadet programmes, apprenticeships, further learning and graduate programmes. We place importance in investing in our youth by creating career pathways internally, along with our commitment to community-based employment programmes for young people.
Our youth are the future of our business and by supporting them, we are setting ourselves up for success.
GDM takes actions to improve society, donating products and money, along with volunteering time. We facilitate our local LEAN group and support a large cross section of our community, donating funds for schools, the arts community, healthcare, sports, hospice and Women’s Refuge.
Our Whanganui manufacturing site is located next to the Whanganui River. To that end we respect the Te Awa Tupua Act and understand the enduring concept of Tupua te Kawa as described by Ngā Tāngata Tiaki.
