CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

At ELE, being a responsible business isn’t just a nice-to-have, it’s how we work.

We’re committed to constantly reviewing and improving our Corporate and Social Responsibility (CSR) strategy, working with partners who share our values, and always acting in a socially responsible way. We stick to all the relevant legislation, continuously up our game, and encourage our team to think about the impact their actions have on the world around them.

Aims

When it comes to CSR, we keep it simple:

    • Be responsible.
    • Lead by example.

Standards of business conduct

    • Good CSR touches every part of what we do, and what our clients do too.
    • We use our CSR policy to guide decisions and make sure we’re doing the right thing.
    • We won’t stand for unfair business practices.
    • Building strong, respectful relationships with the communities we serve – both local and global – is key to business success.
    • Our contracts are crystal clear, outlining terms, conditions, and the foundations of our relationships.

Corporate Governance

    • We’re upfront about personal or corporate conflicts of interest and seek guidance when needed.
    • Ethical, professional, and legal standards are non-negotiable. We follow them to the letter.
    • We comply with all applicable laws, always.
    • We aim to earn stakeholders’ trust through professional, transparent decision-making.
    • Fairness, openness, and respect are at the core of every business relationship.
    • We believe in healthy competition, driven by the quality, value, and integrity of our services.
    • We actively seek feedback, review our performance, and commit to continuous improvement.
    • Clients are encouraged to share their thoughts. We listen, respond, and act where needed.
    • We develop action plans to ensure we’re always moving forward.

Environment

    • We’re committed to reducing our environmental impact and always looking for ways to improve.
    • We prefer to work with businesses that share our eco-conscious goals.

Human Rights

    • We fully support and respect the protection of internationally recognised human rights.

Equality and Diversity

    • Discrimination has no place here. We promote equality of opportunity within ELE and with everyone we work with.
    • We make sure clients and stakeholders can collaborate confidently and respectfully.

Sustainability

    • We encourage our team to factor sustainability into every purchasing decision.
    • We’re mindful of reducing the environmental impact of commuting to and from our offices.

Impact on Society

    • We support our team in getting involved with local communities and encourage activities that make a positive impact. Each member can have up to five days a year (pro rata) as paid leave to work on community projects. To claim this just present a request to your line manager and don’t forget to take some photos and send them a summary of what you’ve done, at the end. We’ll use this information in our impact reporting as well as to inform the decisions we make about additional pro bono and charitable support.

Ethics and Ethical Trading

    • Transparency is key. We maintain clear visibility across our supply chains.
    • Relevant team members receive training on environmental and social issues affecting supply chains.
    • We expect subcontractors to uphold workplace standards that align with our values.

Biodiversity

    • We promote sustainable practices in the upkeep of the places we work in and the ways we work.

Our suppliers and contractors are our partners. We collaborate to meet our shared CSR aspirations.
