Corporate Social Responsibility Policy

Introduction

We seek to sustain a business that is successful and respected in its ethical standing by our stakeholders. These include customers, clients, suppliers and the community. We embrace the role our business plays on a day to day basis in contributing to a better society.

Statement from the organisation

At Scriven & Thornton Fine Foods Ltd, we are committed to our vision of acting responsibly for the long term in how we do business.

We will be looking more significantly in to how we can ensure that our environmental impact is minimal. We believe that being a responsible business means respecting the interest of all our employee. This involves listening and actively responding to concerns.

We are determined to contribute to the communities in which we operate; and we are committed to reducing our carbon footprint and promoting sustainability.

In summary, our CSR policy reflects our overall commitment to high standards and ethical conduct.

Policy

We are aware that the running of our business will, in many ways, affect our place of work, the community and the wider environment in which we operate. We believe that the way we run our business can and should make a positive difference in these areas and we aim to ensure that continued efforts are made to achieve that. 

Our corporate social responsibilities are identifiable in the following areas:

Environment

With regard to the businesses’ impact upon the environment, we are committed, amongst other initiatives, to:

  • Efficient printing
  • Reducing the amount of waste produced by the business
  • Ensuring that the water/electricity is used responsibility by our employees
  • Recycling materials as extensively as possible 
Education

We recognise the importance of education in our community and supporting individuals during this process is key to advancement. We actively encourage our employees to take up training/development courses and are committed to funding individuals to maintain up to date Food Safety and Hygiene qualifications.

Equal Opportunities

We are committed to providing an environment of equal opportunities for all members of our workforce.  No account of any of the protected characteristics set out in the Equality Act 2010 shall be taken to a detrimental effect in any decision involving recruitment.

On-going commitment

We are fully committed to the principle of CSR and aim to ensure that no relevant policy decisions are made within the business, without first evaluating the potential CSR impact.
