Corporate Responsibility
We recognise and accept that our social, economic and environmental responsibilities to all stakeholders are integral to our business. We aim to demonstrate these responsibilities through our actions and within our company policies.
We recognise the value of all communication and feedback that we receive from our stakeholders, and where possible, we are committed to maintaining open dialogue and in responding to feedback and to communicating our strategies, targets and performance to our stakeholders.
We offer our employees clear and fair terms of employment, and provide resources to enable their continual development. We provide safeguards to ensure that all employees are treated with respect and are able to function effectively in a working environment that is free of physical, mental or sexual harassment. We shall at all times operate an equal opportunities policy for all present and potential future employees.
We shall strive to provide and maintain a clean, safe and healthy working environment for all stakeholders, and our efforts should encompass all members of the public with whom we have contact. Through ongoing training, we shall ensure that our staff are mentally and physically equipped to deliver this commitment to themselves, their colleagues and any other person affected by our work.
We aim to improve our environmental impact through the implementation of our own environmental polices and the recommendations made by environmental and legislative groups throughout the E.U. Our policies include initiatives on water efficiency, waste management, emissions management and conservation of natural resources.
We shall ensure a high level of business performance while minimising and effectively managing risk. We operate in a manner which safeguards against unfair business practices. We shall encourage suppliers and sub-contractors to adopt responsible business polices and practices for mutual benefit. Our contracts, where required, will clearly set out the agreed terms and conditions that form the basis of the business relationship. We shall uphold the values of honesty, partnership and fairness in our relationships with stakeholders.
