Corporate and Social Responsibility Policy

Menfor Group is a socially and environmentally responsible business. We realise that our activities have an impact on the environment, our employees and the communities we work in. That’s why Menfor Group has made a commitment to abide by the principles of corporate social responsibility. Our aim is to ensure we minimise the impacts of our business by approaching our aims and goals responsibly, while remaining profitable and competitive.

This means holding ourselves to rigorous ethical, professional and legal standards. By doing this, Menfor Group can continue to deliver high-quality construction and operational services and help ensure a sustainable built environment for future generations.

In all aspects of our corporate social responsibilities, we work closely with our employees, clients, suppliers and subcontractors to ensure every link in the project chain always meets our own high standards.

Menfor Group strives to balance short-term and long-term interests, as well as integrate economic, environmental and social considerations into our strategic decision-making. We are open-minded in dialogue with those who are affected by our operations, always working towards a solution that minimises disruption and associated issues. This statement provides the bedrock for managing our corporate social responsibilities and forms a strong starting point from which we develop and implement our policies and procedures in the area of corporate and social responsibility.

Our people

We believe we have a commitment to our employees, helping them to grow, learn and develop in a supportive environment. Menfor Group recognises the need to attract, recruit and retain employees with the potential, skills and experience necessary for the continued growth and development of our business. This commitment to our workforce is embodied within the following:

Health, safety and wellbeing

We are committed to maintaining and continuously improving the standards of occupational health and safety for all our employees. As well as putting effective, strong guidelines and protections in place for subcontractors and those affected by our activities – including members of the public.

Equality and diversity

Menfor Group believes every member of our workforce deserves an inclusive working environment where all employees are treated with courtesy, dignity and respect. Ensuring every team member feels valued irrespective of gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, disability or age. We are committed to the principle of equal opportunities in employment and ensuring that every applicant or employee receives fair treatment and respect.

Learning and development

We acknowledge our responsibility to the natural environment and strive to minimise any negative impact from our operations.

Energy and Resources

Climate change is a key environmental challenge faced by our business and wider industry and we regularly review our organisational practices and performance to identify how we can reduce our requirements for energy, transport and water usage. We also promote good practice in respect of recycling and waste minimisation. Wherever possible Menfor Group will use alternative materials and methods to optimise the use of resources in collaboration with our clients and suppliers.
