Corporate Social Responsibility
Sustainability represents the balancing of social, environmental
and economic concerns whilst recognising the decisions made today
will have a very real implication to future generations.
Environmental impact is more than just a matter of conscience today
– it is a critical business driver. Sustainability, whether in
building design, the carbon footprint of materials or in the actual
building process itself, is under intense scrutiny and increasingly
regulation. Every stage of the supply chain has a part to play. Ian
Williams is committed to playing our part in minimising the impact
we and our clients have on the environment. We have company wide
environmental policies and recycling initiatives in place and have
developed a national partnership with a major waste management
specialist to help us develop solutions for our clients.
Integration of supply processes can play an important part in
the delivery of sustainable services. Higher quality solutions will
reduce the cost of running and maintaining projects after their
completion.
We support the focus on the end life of the solutions we deliver,
and seek where possible to contribute to the potential for
recycling and reuse.
It is our responsibility, in the twenty first century, to create
value and minimise the environmental impact of the work we do
whilst assisting in the creation of sustainable communities.
We are committed to dealing fairly with all our stakeholders.
These include our shareholders, customers and business partners,
employees and local communities. Remaining profitable ensures our
continuing viability - but this is only possible if we deliver
value to all our stakeholders in a socially responsible and
environmentally sustainable way.
To ensure our approach is relevant to local needs we delegate
accountability for CSR activity to local business managers, but
within the overall framework. This ensures community based
initiatives are managed locally, where they have most impact. We
encourage and support staff at all levels to participate in these
local activities.
