Corporate Social Responsibility
We take our triple bottom line and Corporate Social Responsibility seriously.
In addition to our well-documented social agenda, recycling our waste paper and board is really 'old hat' as far as we're concerned. Recycling ink cartridges, CD cases and fluorescent light tubes are recent additions to our environmental contribution.
However, we are always looking for even more ways to help the environment including increasing our use of email for providing quotations and web-based stock control, stock ordering and invoicing.
Pack-IT actively supports a number of community groups. Providing work experience opportunities for local schools and colleges, supporting local youth organisations and supplying premises and speakers are working examples of Pack-IT's commitment to sharing its CSR experiences.
But this isn't just all one way traffic. Meeting Prince Charles at a Buckingham Palace Garden Party in July 2004 was reward enough for pursuing our triple bottom line initiative.
In 2005, we were recognised and acknowledged by the European community as the 'European Social Firm of the Year', an achievement of which we are immensely proud. As a company and a Social Firm of good worth and excellent business reputation, this accolade gave us the opportunity to promote our brand as well as that of social enterprise and Social Firms.
Receiving the Welsh Assembly Government's 'Excellence in Enterprise' award in 2006 was both an endorsement and a recognition of our worth as an outstanding business and a committed social enterprise.
