Corporate Social Responsibility

What is corporate social responsibility?

Sev-Rend’s CSR states our values and practices whereby we drive sustainable development by delivering economic, social and environmental benefits for all stakeholders and outlines our efforts to give back to the world as it gives to us.

Purpose

Sev-Rend’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) refers to our responsibility toward our environment. Sev-Rend is not alone, we are part of a bigger system of people, values, organizations and nature. CSR is not a bolt on program, but integrated into how we do business on a daily basis.

Elements

Sustainability is core to Sev-Rend’s business practices. Aligning with UN World Commission on Environment and Development, Sev-Rend defines sustainability as operating in such a way that meet the needs of our current stakeholders without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs, particularly with regard to use and waste of natural resources. Sustainable practices support ecological, human, and economic health and vitality.

We want to be a responsible business that meets the highest standards of ethics and professionalism. Therefore our social responsibility includes compliance and proactiveness. Compliance refers to our company’s commitment to legality and willingness to observe community values. Proactiveness is every initiative to promote human rights, help communities and protect our natural environment.
