Corporate Social Responsibility/Environmental Social Governance
Policy brief & purpose
Our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) / Environment Social Governance (ESG) company policy refers to our responsibility toward our environment. Our company’s existence is not lonely. 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 world just as it gives to us.
What is corporate social responsibility?

Scope
