The implementation of the company's CSR policy will achieve the following strategic objectives. Please click on the objectives below:
- Encourage staff to contribute to, and share in, the success of the company through their own ideas and ongoing professional development, whilst supporting them to maintain a healthy balance between home and work commitments.
- Ensure that we treat our tenants and customers fairly, and that we are responsive to their needs.
- Reduce our direct adverse environmental impacts, and help and encourage our tenants and customers to do the same in respect of the properties they occupy.
- Seek to understand the needs of the communities within which we operate, and positively contribute to their well-being.
- Safeguard the health, safety and welfare of our employees, tenants, contractors, visitors, clients and the general public, where they may be affected by our activities.
- Engage proactively with prioritised suppliers to ensure that they meet with our specified economic, social and environmental standards.
- Maintain high standards of business conduct, and secure long-term sustainable returns for our investors.
In 2005, we commissioned a comprehensive external review to ensure that our CSR strategy continues to address those issues that bear most relevance to our unique business.
Our strategic advisers, have conducted a review of our key impact areas and undertook structured interviews with a wide range of stakeholders. This has resulted in a reformulation of our CSR policy statement and long-term CSR objectives to better reflect the most significant economic, social and environmental issues for our business.
This year we have chosen to support Shelter and Open House.
