CENE Club Event: Corporate Responsibility
Allergate House, Belmont, Durham, DH1 1TW
The Government sees Corporate Responsibility as the business contribution to our sustainable development goals. Essentially it is about how businesses take account of its economic, social and environmental impacts in the way it operates – maximising the benefits and minimising the downsides.
Specifically, we see Corporate Responsibility as the voluntary actions that business can take, over and above compliance with minimum legal requirements, to address both its own competitive interests and the interests of wider society.
Following Cundall’s win at the North East Business Awards for CSR and Environment, Sustainability Partner David Clark will be presenting on reporting and benchmarking the practice’s CSR strategy. In March, Cundall published their first Sustainability Report describing their commitment to sustainability, successes and achievements over the past two years and the targets they have established for 2009/10.
In 2008 David was named Sustainability Champion of the Year at the UK Buildings Services Sustainability Awards. David’s roles includes providing sustainability design, advice and analysis for new and existing buildings, providing sustainability training (internally and externally), and reducing / reporting the environmental impact of Cundall’s own operations.
