Q&A with Scott McCartney, Co-founder of SCS Indigenous:
1. What inspired you to co-found SCS Indigenous, and how does this venture differ from traditional business models in the cleaning industry?
“The inspiration came from wanting to create something bigger than a business. I wanted to create opportunities that have a lasting impact on our communities.
Success isn’t measured only by financial performance. It’s measured by the opportunities we create through employment, training, supplier partnerships and long-term career pathways. That’s what drives every decision we make.”
2. How does the partnership with SCS Group help SCS Indigenous achieve its vision?
“Partnering with SCS Group means we can focus on creating opportunities while being supported by proven systems, experienced people and national capability.
It allows us to deliver the quality and consistency clients expect, while expanding opportunities for First Nations people across Australia. That’s what makes this partnership so powerful.”
