CMAL is proud to be among more than 20 organisations uniting to strengthen Scotland’s infrastructure against the growing impacts of climate change.
Corporate Social Responsibility
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) refers to the way in which businesses regulate themselves to ensure all their activities positively impact society as a whole. We consider CSR to be an important part of how we conduct our business. Through our company’s practices and policies, we aim to create an ethical working environment whereby the company considers human rights, as well as the social, economic and environmental impact of what we do as a business.
We have a modest CSR fund, which is administered through our CSR Steering Group. This group comprises volunteers from CMAL and some of our external suppliers. We aim to distribute the fund annually across six regions within the network that we serve. We also support communities in a non-financial way through our voluntary work.
