Sustainability and corporate responsibility

• Off-the-shelf best practice policies, guidance and tools to support your goal of becoming a leading sustainable business
• The policy bank helps businesses manage important environmental, social, community, labour, economic and ethical issues
• Each policy is linked to international best practice standards, instruments and principles
• Cross-referenced to Dow Jones Sustainability Index, GRI, FTSE4Good, Equator Principles, ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001, SA 8000

Comprehensive guidance

There is an umbrella corporate responsibility/sustainability policy available, under which, the remaining policies cover specific corporate responsibility/sustainability issues. They set out frameworks for communicating, monitoring, reporting on and improving responsible practice. Each policy consists of two parts:

• The policy elements
• The accompanying guidance

The guidance section includes information on how to implement the policy as part of a management system and details of other Maplecroft tools to assist policy development as well as information resources, including links to key websites, example policies from the business environment and definitions of key terms.

Practical application

Policies and guidance are designed to direct and inform employees, supply chain partners, customers, investors, and other stakeholders about what sustainability means to your business, and how it is being implemented, managed, monitored and reported.
