The deep rooted belief at Essel Propack is “to succeed requires the highest standards of corporate behaviour towards our employees, customers and the societies and world in which we live". Essel Propack’s CSR philosophy is embedded in its commitment to all stakeholders - consumers, employees, the environment and the society that the organisation operates in. EP believes that it is this commitment which will deliver sustainable, profitable growth.

Our goal is to be a responsible employer, a valued partner, a good neighbour and respected corporate citizen. EP’s policy is to conduct all our business operations to best industry standards and to behave in a socially responsible manner. We aim to behave ethically and with integrity in the communities where we work, and to respect sexual, colour, racial, cultural, national and religious diversity. We meet our responsibilities through compliance with relevant legislation, applying appropriate international standards and establishing management & value systems throughout EP.

At EP, we aim to conduct our business to the best industry standards in a manner that is safe, environmentally acceptable and sensitive to the needs and concerns of local communities. The key principles that guide EP are:

• We respect the countries in which we operate
• We contribute to and support the communities where we work
• We look after and care for the environment around our operations
• We empower and support our people to take individual responsibility
• We value and foster positive relationships with all employees and stakeholders
• We are transparent in our activities

The objective of EP’s overall policy with regard to Corporate Social Responsibility matters is to provide a reference point to guide stakeholders, including all employees, on the elements that drive the conduct of EP’s business and relationships with the world in which we operate.
