Corporate Social Responsibility

Our Corporate Social Responsibility Policy

Our Corporate Social Responsibility Policy (CSR) refers to our responsibility towards our environment and the wider communities. Our company’s existence is not solitary. It’s part of a bigger system of people, values, other organizations and nature. The social responsibility of a business is to give back to the community just as it gives to us.

Our CSR Policy outlines our efforts to give back to the community as it gives to us.
