Corporate Social Responsibility Company Policy
This Corporate Social Responsibility company policy sets out AMDS Consultants Ltd.’s approach to our corporate and social responsibility in the context of our organisation’s leadership, management and operations.
Policy brief & purpose
Our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) company policy refers to our responsibility toward our environment. Our company does not exist in isolation, it is part of a larger ecosystem of people, values other organizations and nature. The social responsibility of any enterprise is to operate in a way that does not compromise, wherever possible, the health and well-being of the wider population at local, national and international levels.
What is corporate social responsibility?
Our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) company policy outlines our efforts to operate with these fundamental principles in mind.
Scope
This policy applies to our company and its subsidiaries. It may also refer to suppliers and partners where the necessary structures and agreements are established and agreed between the individual parties.
Policy elements
We intend to be a responsible business that meets the highest possible standards of ethics and professionalism. Our company’s social responsibility falls under two categories: compliance and proactiveness. Compliance refers to our company’s commitment to legality and willingness to observe community values. Proactiveness is to consider how our company’s corporate responsibility initiatives can help communities, protect our natural environment and, where practical, promote human rights
