Nonetheless, the perception of the stakeholders as well the brand image of the organisation acts as the positive influence in promoting their profitability in the business unit. However, the increasing GDP rate enhances customer purchasing power and reflects on ultimately increase profit percentage of the company.

The organisation has incorporated (the WHS Act) to increase their responsiveness towards emergency services. Again, they have followed Construction Contracts Act 2004 to modify their construction strategies by identifying the arising risk factors in the operation sites (Environment.gov.au, 1989). Apart from that, they also incorporate the Hazardous Waste (Regulation of Exports and Imports) Act 1989 (‘the Act’) to focus on the recreation and protection of the environment as well as the public life.
