CSR Accreditation attend the BMA Sustainability Awards
It was such a pleasure to be attending the Bathroom Manufacturers Association Sustainability Awards at Conrad’s in London.
I had the privilege of judging the Workplace Initiative Award. Other categories include the Circular Economy Award, Carbon Reduction Award and Water Efficency Awards.
The entries as expected are of a seriously high standard. The passion in the room by members of the Bathroom Manufactures Association was stunning. A real determination to reduce their negative impact on the environment.
CSR Accreditation:
We are the only organisation in the UK delivering a global CSR Accreditation. The CSR Accreditation provides independent recognition of an organisations socially responsible activities. It is a powerful way to communicate these positive actions to all stakeholders.
A CSR Accreditation can be used to:
- Deliver the information required for ESG (Environmental Social Governance) reporting
- Identify the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s) which you may wish to support.
- Write a Social Value policy
- Reduce negative impact on climate change – Race to Zero
- Produce a Social Impact Report.
- Enrich, enable and engage employees, shareholders and stakeholders.
The CSR Accreditation is an effective way to benchmark what you are already doing with regard to social responsibility. It is a process in which you collate, measure and report on your organisation’s socially responsible activities. An accreditation will also provide you with a roadmap for planning future activity.
The application process provides a simple and straightforward template where you record activity against the Social Responsibility ‘Four Pillars’. Each pillar is designed to help you impact report on areas such as energy performance, recycling, staff engagement, health and well-being, community engagement and support for local and national charities.
The establishment of a CSR Accreditation is a crucial component of a company’s competitiveness and something that should be led by the business itself. For companies, the overall aim is to achieve a positive impact on society as a whole while maximising the creation of shared value for the owners of the business, its employees, shareholders and stakeholders.
