What is Corporate Social Responsibility?
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is the business contribution to our sustainable development goals. Essentially it is about how business takes account of its economic, social and environmental impacts in the way it operates – maximising the benefits and minimising the drawbacks.
Specifically, we see CSR as the voluntary actions that a business can take, over and above compliance with minimum legal requirements, to address both its own competitive interests and the interests of wider society.
The driving force to achieve these ambitions starts with the Mr Electric Mission and Code of Values.
The Mr Electric Mission…
…to provide you, our customer, with quality service first time and every time
Mr Electric Code of Values
We believe………
That management is about recognising what people are doing right and treating all with equal respect
Challenges should be used as learning experiences
In operating above the line
We should strive to release the potential in every person in the Mr Electric family
We must re-earn our position each and every day
That loyalty is an essential part of our moral code
In the business mission and building Mr Electric by continually attracting strong people to join our team
We should have fun in the process
Objective
Mr Electric sees CSR as good for society and good for business. Better understanding of the potential benefits of CSR for the competitiveness of companies and for national economies can help encourage the spread of CSR practice.
The key is to look at CSR as an investment in a strategic asset or distinctive capability, rather than an expense. The importance of taking a balanced approach to assessing performance – and the risks of concentrating solely on profit are taken into full consideration. Mr Electric are now developing the approach with the aim of ensuring all Franchisees have the means to manage and assess the contributions of investments in CSR.
Our strategy for advancing our vision is to:
- Promote business activities that bring simultaneous economic, social and environmental benefits
- Work in partnership with the community bodies, unions, consumers and other stakeholders
- Encourage innovative approaches, continuing development and application of best practice
- Ensure we have excellent minimum levels of performance in areas such as health & safety, the environment and equal opportunities
- Encourage increased awareness, open constructive dialogue and trust
- Create a policy framework, which encourages and enables responsible behaviour by our business
Mr Electric’s strategy for sustainable development encompasses, integrating objectives on social progress, effective protection of the environment, prudent use of natural resources and high and stable levels of economic growth. Each of these sustainable development issues are key to the overall business strategy. We place a high degree of emphasis on employment to ensure a better quality of life for everyone.
The following five areas are of paramount importance to Mr Electric:
