Corporate Social Responsibility
Our approach to responsible business across governance, ethical conduct, environmental responsibility, our people and the communities in which we operate.
Doing business responsibly.
Infrared Heating Panels Ltd is committed to operating responsibly, ethically and with consideration for the environmental and social impacts associated with our activities.
We recognise that responsible business is an ongoing process. Our approach considers how we work with employees, customers, suppliers, partners and communities, as well as how we manage our environmental responsibilities.
This policy sets out the principles we expect to guide the conduct of Infrared Heating Panels Ltd and those acting on its behalf, including employees, directors, contractors and agents. We also expect suppliers and business partners to conduct themselves responsibly and lawfully.
Four areas of responsibility
Our CSR approach is centred around responsible governance, people, environmental responsibility and positive relationships with the wider community.
Governance & ethics
Acting lawfully, transparently and with integrity across our business relationships.
People
Promoting fair treatment, safe working practices and respect for individual rights.
Environment
Measuring our impact and identifying practical opportunities to reduce emissions, waste and resource use.
