Our Business Support Manager, Kayleigh Adams was requested to write an opinion piece on taking responsibility for CSR which was published in November’s Quality World and analysis on the BBC report of child refugees found in high street supply chains in December’s Quality World. On this Kayleigh Adams said:
‘I welcomed the opportunity to write for Quality World Magazine on the importance and requirements for Corporate Social Responsibility. CSR is a vital and developing element within today’s business world that needs to be fully understood and implemented throughout all organisations, no matter how big or small. CSR is becoming a popular trend within the business world but it must be implemented in the correct way to ensure that it delivers benefits for both the organisation and the local community. CSR is an important element of our operations and we ensure that wherever possible we are implementing strategies that will benefit the communities within which we work. As a growing business we will maintain this effort and continue to focus on developing this area to ensure we continue to promote a better and more responsible water industry’
