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.
