Corporate Social Responsibility

Our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) policy sets out the framework under which we interrelate with our employees, customers, suppliers and other stakeholders. It embraces every aspect of operating a business today: economic, environmental and social.

Ethics

We are committed to ensuring that we always conduct our business according to rigorous ethical, professional and legal standards.

Staff

We will always seek to provide a competitive and fair employment environment with all staff having the opportunity to develop and advance their careers. We will not tolerate bullying, discrimination or harassment.

Customers

Our continued growth in business is dependent upon customer satisfaction with the products and services that we provide. We therefore seek to ensure that we always provide the highest standards of quality as competitively as possible.

Environment

Our policy is to reduce wherever practicable the impact on the environment which arises as a result of our manufacturing and distribution operations. We encourage environmental responsibility amongst our stakeholders, including customers, suppliers and staff.

Health and Safety

We are committed to achieving continuous improvement in health and safety performance.

Suppliers

We consider our suppliers and associates as "partners" and work with them to comply with environmental, quality and customer policies during the production and distribution of our products.

Competitors

Whilst we will always operate in a competitive manner, we will do so fairly and always in compliance with legal requirements.

Shareholders

We seek to deliver sustainable growth through effective and prudent use of the Group’s assets.

Financial integrity

We will comply with all laws which are applicable, including all relevant accounting standards.

Scope

Our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) policy applies throughout the Hambleside Group and governs our approach to all activities.

Compliance

The Board of Directors of Hambleside Danelaw Limited is responsible for monitoring compliance with the CSR policy.

Community

We are committed to being a responsible corporate citizen. We understand that our business activities may in varying degrees have a direct or indirect impact on the local areas in which we operate. We seek to manage that impact in a responsible manner, in part because doing so is also linked to business success.

Charitable support

We actively support charities, non-political and non-sectarian projects.
