Corporate Social Responsibility

As a responsible manufacturer, we believe that the long-term future of the Company is best served by respecting the interests of all our stakeholders: customers, suppliers and the wider community. We look actively for opportunities to improve the environment and to contribute to the wellbeing of the communities in which we trade.

Our CSR policy sets out the principles we follow. Social and environmental responsibility involves everyone. We aim to develop and implement social and environmental policies which fit in with our Company’s everyday activities and responsibilities.

Sustainable progress

We are committed to improving our performance. We will take into account technical developments, changing scientific evidence, costs and customer concerns and expectations in the development and implementation of all new social and environmental policies and procedures. We will monitor our performance, set objectives for improvements and report our progress.

Relationships

We will conduct our business relationships with integrity and courtesy, and honour our trading commitments. Our aim is to build long-term relationships with our suppliers and provide support for small, local, specialist producers. We are committed to trading fairly with all our suppliers, and will communicate our responsible sourcing expectations to them in the areas of health, safety and worker welfare, sustainable and good environmental practice.

Communities

We will build relationships with our customers, suppliers and the local communities we are part of by encouraging our partners to consider the needs of others and involve themselves in public service. We will obtain a wide range of views on our social and environmental policies and performance.

Charity Focus

Steelite International is proud to have supported local and national charities for many years – more recently our generous employees have raised in excess of £20,000 for both the local neonatal intensive care unit and Donna Louise Children’s Hospice.  This year the company adopted a new policy to support good causes within a five-mile radius of its Stoke-on-Trent headquarters and has helped over 20 organisations.
