Attracting and retaining the best talent is the key to the continued success of our business. The approach we take in relation to the environment and communities is increasingly important to our employees, and also to our would-be employees.

Raising our employees’ awareness of and engaging them in our CSR activities is also crucial to achieving our objectives.

We launched a new CSR intranet site in 2009, which contains up-to-date information on all our activities. We will also launch a new external facing CSR website in 2010.

Our company-wide network of environmental and charity ‘champions’ has been instrumental in driving CSR initiatives in each of our offices.

The champions help raise awareness of the key environmental and community issues and promote responsible behaviour. They also help to organise events, such as fundraising or volunteering activities; and promote environmental campaigns.
