Corporate Social Responsibility

 

Sapphire is committed to being a socially responsible organisation and employer. This means making a positive impact on the lives of our staff, clients and the wider community we operate in. We endeavour to manage our environmental impact, support staff involvement in community initiatives, ensure the health and wellbeing of our employees, and work responsibly with clients and suppliers.
 

Doing Good is Good for Business
 

Sapphire’s Social and Environmental Contribution includes sponsorship of the Globe Theatre. For our annual customer care survey we offer donations to our chosen charity - Children with Leukaemia. We also give ad hoc donations to our clients and staff if they are fundraising. We help to promote staff wellbeing by offering a reduced gym membership, child care vouchers and we have a high take up on our Ride-to-Work scheme.


Valuing Employees:
We seek to foster an atmosphere in which our employees can fully demonstrate their skills and abilities, and in which their diversity and individuality is valued. When asked, 100% of our employees agreed that Sapphire employs staff from a diverse range of backgrounds. We strive to maintain a safe and comfortable workplace environment in which our employees are treated fairly and with dignity and respect.


Environmental, Resources and Energy:
Our aim is to protect, promote and enhance our environment, while accelerating the building of a sustainable way of life. We will take a positive, solutions oriented approach that recognises our impact on the environment. We recycle all paper and toner and printer cartridges, buy Fair Trade products, and have installed lights that will automatically switch off when no one is around. We have a computers “off, not on standby” policy in place throughout the company.


Sapphire’s CSR Programme
We believe that it is time to consolidate our ad-hoc Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) contributions and implement a coordinated CSR programme. As an international business we want to take the responsibility to ensure that we have a corporate policy that each of our offices can comply with and also support our employees in community initiatives that they are pursuing.


Our CSR Coordinator, Jan Fair reports directly to the Managing Director of Sapphire Systems, Ian Caswell. She is currently developing a CSR policy with the help of “Heart of the City”. We have committed to a two year practical programme to develop existing CR activates and implement new initiatives. Hopefully, this will allow us to initiate, sustain and communicate a strong CSR Policy. We envisage that there will be interest in and are prepared to invest in, projects such as:


Matched Funding -
where Sapphire matches the amounts raised by staff when participating in fundraising activities


Corporate Volunteering –
where each employee is given a day’s leave to volunteer for their chosen charity or to work within Sapphire's programme


Environmental Action Plan –
Global Action Plan are currently working with us to create a strategy to reduce our carbon emissions


A Word from Jan –
“We would like to give our staff the opportunity to be part of the decision-making process of our CSR programme and are currently canvassing them to discover how they would like our CSR programme to develop. Watch this space to see how it grows. So far, we have had some lovely responses – people in this company are already doing great things! “Heart of the City” has introduced me to individuals who have implemented inspiring, ambitious, thoughtful and award winning projects. The CSR programme that we embark on will be something that everyone in the company can be proud of”
