Corporate Social Responsibility

Augean recognises that corporate social responsibility is an essential element of our business.  A key theme of our approach is promoting a positive relationship with stakeholders and the environment. 

We seek to follow best practice, adhere to regulatory standards as a minimum and aim to exceed the expectations of those that regulate our businesses and stakeholders that have an interest in our operations.

We recognise that all aspects of corporate social responsibility must be firmly embedded in the culture of the company.  We maintain and publish our core business values which set our ethical position:

Our operational performance is maintained through a certified Integrated Management System delivering protection of health and safety, both internally and externally, and the management, protection and improvement of the environment for nature and our local communities.

Augean sets clear policy and objectives on its expectations on corporate social responsibility from the top of the management team throughout the organisation.  We are proud of our culture where all staff feels responsible for making a difference in delivering high standards within the organisation and to our customers, stakeholders and local communities.

To ensure that the business achieves its objectives we invest in high quality operational and monitoring equipment and employ skilled and responsible people.  We recognise the need for continual development and improvement in the standards of our operations and measure performance year-on-year by reporting factually the success of the objectives through annual reporting on corporate social responsibility, which demonstrates to shareholders, staff, neighbours and regulators how our objectives are being met and exceeded.
