What is CSR?

For Jamestrong, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) means meeting the needs of our clients, customers, communities, and staff, without compromising the needs of generations to come. To put it another way: we are respectful of people, resources, and the environment. By virtue of our inherent operations, Jamestrong is already improving the lives of millions of end customers by the products we package. But our ambitious overarching goal is to further enhance the health and wellbeing of our staff, our customers, their consumers, and the communities in which we reside. Our initiatives and actions, many in concert with our clients will make a positive difference to our stakeholders.

Our strategy

The corporate responsibility strategy and framework provides Jamestrong with a clear direction for identifying and responding to the social and environmental issues and opportunities that will help achieve our business ambition.

Framework

Our CSR framework helps to communicate our strategy and ensure it is aligned to our business objectives. The framework has three key areas of focus: health, environment and communities and is structured around a set of pillars, objectives, and initiatives.

Pillars, objectives and initiatives

Measurement and KPIs

Consistent with the corporate strategy, a set of KPIs will be devised by the management team by the end of the first year of the operation of this plan.

In the interim, the status of the achievement of the initiatives will be reported internally by reference to a traffic light system.

Governance and review

The overall carriage of this plan is the responsibility of the CEO and is managed at the Executive level jointly by Andrew Buchan and Gary Tobin. Individual managers at either Group or BU level are responsible for specific initiatives.

The full Executive will review the plan on a quarterly basis. Daymark will participate in the quarterly reviews and on an annual basis review the entire plan and recommend changes if needed.
