Our Corporate Social Responsibilty Policy
We have a strong legacy as a responsible business. Our unrivalled levels of repeat business and high levels of staff retention testify to the strong relationships and emphasis on employee well-being that characterise how Riley Consulting operates.
Community Dimension
We also understand that our business doesn't stop at the front door; it extends into our neighbouring communities, through our supply chain and leaves a legacy in the built and natural environment. We have consciously sought to blur the distinction between business and society because we understand that the way in which we operate and the resources that we use can have a much wider benefit, satisfying our economic bottom-line.
This is manifested through better appreciation of our customer needs, reduction in operating costs associated with lower environmental impacts, lending support to the charities we have an affinity with and volunteering our time with local people and organisations.
Key Corporate Social Responsibility Aims
-
Formally embed Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) into our projects and operational processes, making sure that rather than being a bolt-on, it is part of our normal and everyday working practices.
-
Deliver positive economic, social and environmental impacts to our clients, stakeholders and communities from our projects and relationships, and by engaging with our supply-chain.
-
Help to raise standards and benchmarks in the industry by promoting CSR activities and partnerships and communicating our CSR values to our partners.
-
Recognise the values and aspirations of our clients, stakeholders and communities and working alongside them to achieve shared CSR objectives.
-
Collect data and report on our progress towards embedding CSR across our business and communicate our achievements, including progress towards ISO:14001 and Diversity Works for London Gold Standard.
