Corporate and Social Responsibility Policy

We recognise that we must incorporate our business values and operations to meet the expectations of our stakeholders. They include customers, employees, regulators, suppliers, the community and the environment.

We recognise that our social, economic and environmental responsibilities to these stakeholders are integral to our business.  We aim to demonstrate these responsibilities through our actions and within our corporate policies. 

We take seriously all feedback that we receive from our stakeholders and, where possible, maintain open dialogue to ensure that we fulfil the requirements outlined within this policy. 

We will be open and honest in communicating our strategies, targets, performance and governance to our stakeholders in our continual commitment to sustainable development. 

The Managing Director is responsible for the implementation of this policy and will make the necessary resources available to realise our corporate responsibilities.  The responsibility for our performance to this policy rests with all employees throughout the company.
