What is CSR?
Corporate Social Responsibility, or CSR, recognises the relationship between a company’s values and responsible business practice and how this helps to build a sustainable business based on long term constructive relationships with its stakeholders.
CSR has four constituent parts:
Workplace
Developing responsible and inclusive employment practices that ensure high quality people are recruited and developed to meet the needs of the business
Community
Addressing key social issues and the needs of local communities through working constructively with partners for mutual benefit
Environment
Reducing carbon emissions and waste within the core business and encouraging wider groups of stakeholders to do the same
Marketplace
How the business develops, sources and markets their products and services responsibly and with integrity, whilst ensuring an acceptable return on investment
