responsibility programme comprising of:
- Our work in the community
- Our environmental policy
- Our ethical policy
Each Charterpoint Ltd Director has committed to bringing this combined Corporate Social
Responsibility statement to the attention of all members of staff through local communication
channels and via our national communication network. In addition, it has been agreed that
this policy will be reviewed and measured annually to ensure that our commitment to
environmental responsibility, the community, and our ethical policy are as up-to-date and
forward thinking as possible.
At Charterpoint Ltd we believe that helping the local community is not just something we
choose to do but is also an important role of our company.
We understand that local businesses and communities are closely linked and that we can
have a significant positive impact on communities as a whole. Charterpoint Ltd plays an
active role in contributing to these communities both through direct financial support and
through the support of our directors and staff who take part in activities organised both by
the firm and by themselves. Our Directors and staff are involved in regional Chambers of
Commerce, local council initiatives and further business group activities. We also provide
work placements for local students and support for educational establishments.
The firm supports a number of national and local charities with both time and money. The
firm supports payroll giving and many of the Directors provide time and advice free of charge
to local groups and organisations.
Our objective is to encourage our Directors, Management and staff to play a significant part
in the development of local communities.
manner. Our objective is to minimise the impact of our business activity on the environment,
wherever possible. This includes ensuring that our suppliers do likewise and that we
persuade our clients to consider environmental matters wherever possible.
A review has concluded that the most significant area of impact we have on the environment
is in the use of natural resources. Our significant natural resource usage includes power,
water, travel, and consumables such as paper and I.T. equipment.
We recognise our impact on the environment comes from:
- Electricity to heat, cool and power office equipment.
- Gas for heating.
- Travel by air, road and rail to visit clients and conduct internal meetings.
- Water in offices used for a variety of purposes.
- Resources such as paper.
- Waste including paper, plastic and consumable I.T. equipment.
Our objectives are to:
- Evaluate future energy usage to see how we can use low energy systems.
- Avoid unnecessary travel on business by the use of video conferencing and telephone
communication where possible.
- Use the most environmentally friendly mode of transport, where necessary, consistent with
business needs.
- Reduce overall the resources we use.
- Aim for a paper-free office culture.
- Reduce our letters and correspondence by 50% in the coming two years, where alternative
electronic mechanisms can be used.
- Minimise our hard copy marketing by 50% in the coming two years.
- By 2011 our offices will use either recycled or FSC paper for all hard copy correspondence
wherever possible.
- Consider environmental criteria when choosing services and goods.
- Fundamentally we will reduce our impact on the environment and ask that our staff,
suppliers and clients do likewise.

regulation with regard to client confidentiality, our objectivity and our independence.
Charterpoint Ltd also supports the principles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
through its business practices. This means we support freedom from torture, unjustified
imprisonment without fair trial and any other oppression. In addition, we support the right of
any individual to have freedom of expression and religion, political representation or in
respect of any other matter.
Accordingly, Charterpoint Ltd will not support or work with organisations which fail to uphold
basic human rights within their influence, which are involved in the manufacture or transfer to
an oppressive regime, or are involved in the manufacture of equipment used in the violation
of human rights. Neither will Charterpoint Ltd support or work with organisations which are
involved in the funding or carrying out of terrorist activities.
Furthermore, Charterpoint Ltd will not provide support or work with organisations which do
not conform to the most widely accepted standards for minimum labour rights or which do
not cover the use of under-age or forced labour.
We will not tolerate discrimination, bullying or any other kind of harassment within our
business community. The concept of ’mutual respect’ will be one of our guiding principles.
Employees are expected to abide by company rules and to be honest and considerate in
their various roles.
Internal procedures have been established to report grievances or suspected inappropriate
behaviour to other individuals or organisations. Equally Charterpoint Ltd will treat dishonest
actions and accusations seriously; this may result in disciplinary action in accordance with
company rules and disciplinary procedures.
As part of this process, we will monitor our progress against our objectives to ensure
compliance by our offices and we will continue to set new objectives for the future.
