Corporate Social Responsibility Company Policy
Policy brief & purpose
Our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) company policy refers to our responsibility towards our environment. Our company’s existence is not lonely. It's part of a bigger system of people, values, other organisations and nature. The social responsibility of a business is to give back to the world just as it gives to us.
What is corporate social responsibility?
Our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) company policy outlines our efforts to give back to the world as it gives to us.
Scope
This policy applies to our company and its subsidiaries. It may also refer to suppliers and partners.
Policy elements
We want to be a responsible business that meets the highest standards of ethics and professionalism.
Our company’s social responsibility falls under two categories: compliance and proactiveness. Compliance refers to our company’s commitment to legality and willingness to observe community values. Proactiveness is every initiative to promote human rights, help communities and protect our natural environment.
Compliance & Legality
Our company will:
- Respect the law
- Honour its internal policies
- Ensure that all its business operations are legitimate
- Keep every partnership and collaboration open and transparent
Business Ethics
We'll always conduct business with integrity and respect to human rights. We'll promote:
- Safety and fair dealing
- Respect towards all service users
- Anti-bribery and anti-corruption practices
Protecting the environment
Our company recognizes the need to protect the natural environment. Keeping our environment clean and unpolluted is a benefit to all. We'll always follow best practices with recycling and using chemical substances. Stewardship will also play an important role.
Protecting people
We'll ensure that we:
- Don't risk the health and safety of our employees and community.
- Avoid harming the lives of local and indigenous people.
- Support diversity and inclusion.
Human rights
Our company is dedicated to protecting human rights. We are a committed equal opportunity employer and will abide by all fair labour practices. We’ll ensure that our activities do not directly or indirectly violate human rights in any country (e.g. forced labour).
Proactiveness
Our company is proactive in all aspects of Corporate Social Responsibility and is always proactive and creative in our application of the Corporate Social Responsibility Company Policy.
Donations and aid
Our company will preserve a budget to make donations. These donations will aim to:
● Advance the arts, education and community events.
● Alleviate those in need.
Volunteering
Our company will encourage its employees to volunteer. They can volunteer through programs organized internally or externally. Our company may sponsor volunteering events from other organizations.
Preserving the environment
Apart from our legal obligations, our company will proactively protect the environment. Examples of relevant activities include:
● Recycling
● Conserving energy
● Growing and planting trees
● Using environmentally-friendly technologies
Supporting the community
Our company may initiate and support community investment in educational programmes. For example, it may begin partnerships with vendors of IT equipment to ensure wider community access and participation.
Learning
We will actively invest in R&D. We will be open to suggestions and listen carefully to ideas. Our company will try to continuously improve the way it operates.
Our company is committed to the United Nations Global Compact. We'll readily act to promote our identity as a socially aware and responsible business. Management must communicate this policy on all levels: managers are also responsible for resolving any CSR issues.
