Corporate Social Responsibility

Grafton Group recognises the importance of conducting its business in a socially responsible manner. This is demonstrated in the way we deal with our employees, customers, suppliers and the communities in which we do business. The group considers that corporate social responsibility is an integral element of good business management.

Human Resources
The success of the group is due to the exceptional contribution and commitment of its management and staff. The group is committed to high standards of employment practice and is recognised as a good employer in the UK.

Community
We recognise our responsibility as a member of communities where our branches/plants are located and where we do business. We are committed to
developing close relationships with those communities through local management supporting a range of initiatives. The group also supports a range of charitable causes, mainly at local level, by giving donations.

Environment
Group companies are committed to reducing the amount of waste they produce and to limiting the impact it has on the environment by reducing energy consumption and maximising recycling procedures.

Health and Safety
The group is committed to doing all we can to ensure, as far as is reasonably practicable, the health and safety of our employees whilst at work and of all visitors to our premises. We consider health and safety to be an important element in the overall management of our business.
