As a responsible organisation, we are committed to adopting an increasingly sustainable approach to the management of our business.  This commitment is set out in our corporate responsibility policy, which summarises our approach to customers, health and safety, employees, community, environment, supply chain and general business conduct.

 

Our aim is to act responsibly and with the highest standards of integrity at all times, observing the spirit, not simply the letter, of laws and regulations applicable to our business, ensuring we have effective systems of internal control and respecting the human rights of all those whom we deal with.

 

To ensure we deliver on these commitments, we have in place systems to manage various aspects of our wider economic, social and environmental impacts.  We have invested heavily in our quality management programme and have accredited management systems relating to quality, environment and health and safety.  We also manage other aspects of our corporate responsibility performance, including training, development and supplier engagement.

 

We also report on progress and promote both internally and externally the importance of corporate responsibility.
