Over the past few years, there has been an increase in the attention around the concept of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). We investigate what Corporate Social Responsibility is and what it means to us at SITU. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHAT IS CSR?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Corporate Social Responsibility or CSR<\/a> is a way of describing how companies measure and control their impact on society. This includes a company\u2019s contributions (both negative and positive) to the economy, environment, and the greater community.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

CSR provides a way for businesses to self-regulate and hold themselves socially accountable for their business\u2019s best practices. The drive for CSR stems from the increasing importance for businesses to have a socially conscious image and effecting social change with their culture, beliefs, practice and profit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are four important types of responsibility that organisations should hold themselves socially accountable. These are: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00d7 Environmental <\/strong>– Reduce the impact on the environment<\/em>.
\u00d7 Employees <\/strong>\u2013 Looking after staff (wellbeing, safe from harassment & bullying, comfortable & safe working environment)<\/em>.
\u00d7 Community <\/strong>\u2013 Supporting charities, apprenticeships, offering work experience, volunteering<\/em>.
\u00d7 Responsible Trading \u00ad<\/strong>\u2013 eradicating corruption, bribery, modern slavery, child labour<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A well thought out and developed CSR programme allows companies to demonstrate how they are approaching social responsibility. How they are making changes and highlighting what it means to them.<\/p>\n\n\n

WHAT CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY MEANS TO SITU<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

SITU has been working tirelessly on improving our corporate social responsibility along with currently creating a formal policy document for the organisation. We have compiled a list of what we do at SITU \u2013 but this is only just the beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
