CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AND SUSTAINABILITY
The world is full of challenges ranging from increasing population, global climate change, ‘rich-poor’ and ‘north-south’ divides etc. So how does a global organisation such as Lekker International demonstrate that it is a responsible corporate citizen?
Lekker International has a management philosophy that strives for it to be an outstanding corporate citizen. There are many ways that an organisation can show that it is a good corporate citizen. For Lekker International it means recognizing that as a global business we have a responsibility to respect, nurture and sustain the individuals, communities and environments in which we operate in ways that enable us to abide with local laws and regulations and adhere to the highest ethical standards. In practice this means that in pursuit of financial success as an organisation and for our Associates, we will not lose sight of the environmental and social impacts of our activities.
Sustainability – What’s it all about?
There’s much talk nowadays about ‘Sustainability’. Some people talk of a ‘triple bottom line’ which is a balance between our human Society, the natural Environment and the global Economy. Sometimes this is expressed as: ‘People, Planet, Profit’. At Lekker International, we see Sustainability as: “Respecting the right of all living things to live in a way that meets their needs, both now and for future generations”.
This means that in pursuit of financial success as a company and for our Associates, we will not lose sight of the environmental and social impacts of our activities.
What is Lekker International doing about Sustainability?
At Lekker, we recognize the importance and significance of being a business that is operating in a unique natural environment – our World. This brings environmental, social and economic responsibilities, both in our immediate surroundings and the communities in which we operate.
In particular, we understand and recognize the risks that climate change places on both our business in particular and on the global community as a whole.
Lekker has developed a series of actions that commit us to addressing our environmental, social and economic responsibilities, both in our immediate surroundings and the communities in which we operate.
