Key Social Commitments

We will provide our employees with four (4) hours of paid time per month to participate as volunteers in organizations that contribute to the social fabric of the communities in which we operate.

We will provide training and education to our employees on social responsibility issues.

Each year, we will provide the equivalent of a half person-day per employee to a country or region that could not normally afford our services. This activity will be aimed at helping these areas of the world improve the environmental, social and economic performance of their industries and governments.

We will develop linkages with training / educational institutes in a variety of countries and provide them with materials to support their industries to shift toward more sustainable forms of production.

We will strive to create a work environment in which accomplishments are recognized, constructive criticism is encouraged, problems are addressed quickly, and the open exchange of ideas is fostered.

We recognize that our employees have different social and home situations, which we will accommodate through the provision of flexible working hours and opportunities to work at home as appropriate, and to take summers off, if desired. The terms of these arrangements will be agreed to as part of contract negotiations and will take into consideration client and business needs.
