VolkerFitzpatrick believe that, if the company is to succeed in the future, a proactive approach to responsible business has to be central to all business activities - and not just seen as a bolt-on to operations.
Furthermore, VolkerFitzpatrick recognise that responsible business practices can help innovation, develop a better service, access new markets and minimise risk. That is why social responsibility is a core consideration at VolkerFitzpatrick. For over 85 years we have treated our people well, respected the communities in which we live and work - and strived to minimise our impact on people and the environment.
The company's aim therefore is to have a positive impact on society - and not just minimise our negative impact. Furthermore, VolkerFitzpatrick recognises that there is no ‘one size fits all' solution to Corporate Social Responsibility, which is why the company has an innovative approach, bringing real value to our social responsibility partners.
Our fundamental approach to Corporate Responsibility encompasses:-
- Treating employees fairly, equitably and with respect
- Protecting the environment for future generations
- Managing our impact on society through interaction with key stakeholders such as employees, customers, communities and suppliers
- Being a responsible neighbour by understanding the local environment and adapting to local needs
- Treating requests for assistance from the wider community as an opportunity to invest in, and allow third-party organisations to benefit
- Treating requests from the wider community as an opportunity to allow third-party organisations to benefit and to build successful partnerships with the company
