Caring for our Community
Our lives are centered around our community – from the people we see to the places we work. At CORTAC Group, we want to give back to the things that makes us… well, us. It’s just that important.
Caring for Veterans
27% of CORTAC Group employees are veterans. They’re smart, hard working, caring individuals – so we want to make sure all veterans get the support they need to succeed.
Caring for The Environment
It’s easy to take the planet for granted – it’s always been there for us. We believe it’s time for us to be there for the planet. Because everyone should live with clean water and fresh air.
Caring for Personal Wellness
Health comes in all shapes and sizes. Whether it be physical or mental, we want people the get the care they need. Not only do we promote healthy lifestyles in our company, but we take the next step and give back.
