What is Corporate Social Responsibility? (CSR)

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a concept whereby organisations consider the interests of society by taking responsibility for the impact of their activities on customers, suppliers, employees, shareholders, communities and the environment in all aspects of their operations. This obligation is seen to extend beyond the statutory obligation to comply with legislation and sees organizations voluntarily taking further steps to improve the quality of life for employees and their families as well as for the local community and society at large.

CSR at Safety Net Associates

CSR at Safety Net Associates is about the management of our relationships with customers, suppliers, associates and the wider community, as well as the Company’s impact on society and the environment. Our Guiding Principles set out our specific responsibilities in each of these areas. We consider adherence to CSR values to be a key factor in our long term success, not least because of the growing importance attached to responsible business practices by key groups, such as our customers.

CSR needs to be integral to our business and this is increasingly the case, although the challenge remains for us to embed CSR principles even further into our business activities.

Integrity in Business
Central to the embedding of CSR principles is fostering a culture of ethical behaviour in the Company. Ethical conduct is vital in earning and retaining the trust of our customers and other stakeholders and ensuring the sustainability of our business. For this reason, we expect all associates to operate to the highest ethical standards in all aspects of their work and business relationships.
