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?
- “My inspiration comes from my family and my community. I wanted to build a business that did more than just make a profit; one that created real pathways for our people. Unlike traditional models, our success is measured not only by our bottom line but by the number of people we employ, train, and empower. We are a social enterprise first, and that mission is at the heart of every decision we make. “
2. How will the partnership with SCS Group help SCS Indigenous achieve its goals of Indigenous empowerment on a national scale?
- “This partnership gives us immediate access to a proven operational framework and a national network. We don’t have to start from scratch. SCS Group provides the expertise, resources, and infrastructure we need to quickly grow our services, which in turn allows us to scale our social impact, creating more opportunities and making a difference across.”
