The interests of the community and of the environment have been at the heart of our business since our foundation in 1760.

We are an independent organisation operating for the benefit of the global community, re-investing our surpluses into improving our services, public education and research and development.

As you might expect from an organisation so focused on safety and education, we recognise that, just like any other international organisation, our activities impact on the environment and on local communities. For that reason we have developed a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Policy at strategic level to ensure that we conduct our business responsibly, in ways that respect ethical values, benefit people and communities and protect the natural environment.

This policy illustrates our commitment to ensuring that economic, environmental and social issues and the requirements of the communities we serve, are considered in our business activities. Where possible and practicable, we aim to address our economic, social and environmental impacts locally, nationally and internationally.

As we develop in terms of CSR we will use our web site as one means of communicating our performance to our stakeholders.
