“People are going to
want, and be able, to find out about the citizenship of a
brand, whether it is doing the right things socially, economically
and environmentally.”
- Mike Clasper, President of Business Development,
Proctor and Gamble (Europe)
Corporate Social
Responsibility (from www.CSR.gov.uk)
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is essentially about
companies moving beyond a base of legal compliance to integrating
socially responsible behaviour into their core values, in
recognition of the sound business benefits in doing so. The
Government sees CSR as the business contribution to its sustainable
development goals. Essentially it is about how business takes
account of its economic, social and environmental impacts
in the way it operates. Specifically the Government sees CSR
as the voluntary actions that business can take, over and
above compliance with minimum legal requirements, to address
both its own competitive interests and the interests of wider
society.
How Maxitech can help your business build CSR into
your business strategy:
With corporate social responsibility (CSR) firmly on the agenda for most
businesses, Maxitech.biz can remove and arrange safe re-use, resale, recycling
and donations of still re-usable IT equipment so the machines can be put to
good use.
On behalf of its clients Maxitech is able to support such activities as the
Computers for older people and 'Voice & Choice' initiative from Age Concern
London. 'Voice & Choice' is all about getting the voice of people over 55
heard in London and improving their lives though access to IT.
On behalf of its clients Maxitech can donate recycled computers to Age Concern
London for the benefit of older people on low income. As a social and
environmentally sustainable company Maxitech.biz provides nationally and
internationally recognized IT training to the unemployed leading to jobs in IT.
Supporting older people's internet access through Age Concern London is just
one of a number of Maxitech services, enabling businesses to dispose of their
redundant equipment, without risk to the company concerned or the environment.
Under the WEEE Directive businesses are required to re-use or recycle redundant
electrical equipment. Therefore, for legal as well as social reasons, building
an environmental and socially responsible disposal strategy into IT purchasing
is now essential for all businesses.
Companies that would like to be involved should contact Maxitech.biz.
