Corporate Social Responsibility

OUR CSR PRINCIPLES

'We are committed to adhering to the highest standards of professionalism, accountability and transparency in our business practices.'

As a leading international organisation, maintaining absolute integrity in everything we do is central to Swire's success. We are committed to adhering to the highest standards of professionalism, accountability and transparency in our business practices; to providing quality products and services to our customers, while offering satisfactory and sustainable returns to our shareholders. We are an equal opportunities employer and we offer our staff competitive remuneration packages, foster their career development, provide them with safe and healthy workplaces, and actively consult them on a variety of issues.

As part of our overall commitment to good corporate governance, we believe it is our duty to act in a socially responsible manner through a range of initiatives that aim to benefit the communities we serve, and help to preserve our natural environment. Four principles form the cornerstones of Swire's CSR initiatives - principles that have guided our business operations for 190 years:

  • We will take the most ethical path in all our business undertakings, honouring our commitments to our customers, staff, shareholders, business partners, suppliers and other stakeholders.
  • We will care for our staff, nurture the communities in which we operate, and make a positive contribution wherever we do business.
  • We recognise the importance of aligning our social responsibilities with our long-term business decisions and objectives.
  • We are committed to engaging our staff and our communities in our CSR initiatives.

In 2005, we launched an internal programme to further staff engagement with CSR issues. This was followed by staff volunteering workshops and a series of training sessions on our Code of Conduct in 2006.
