Corporate Responsibility

‘CR’ is a relatively new term. But we’ve always believed that any business has a responsibility to those its activities affect – directly or indirectly.

Today, we continue to learn more about the impact businesses have on the communities and environment around them. Especially a major international group like ours. So we’ve created a set of self-imposed regulations that keep us focused on sustainable, responsible growth.

We look to our own suppliers for similar commitments, and bear these principles closely in mind in all our procurement and partnership arrangements.

Our commitments

We will not work in any way with any organisation known to:

• abuse human rights
• employ forced, compulsory or child labour
• apply discriminatory employment and occupation practices.
• be involved in any form of corruption, including extortion and bribery.

We support freedom of association, and the effective recognition of the right to collective bargaining.

We promote environmental responsibility wherever possible, and encourage the development and distribution of environmentally friendly technologies.

We require our subcontractors, suppliers and service providers to support a precautionary approach to environmental challenges.
