Lundia Corporate Responsibility

It gives me great pleasure to introduce our Corporate Responsibility report, which outlines our commitment to the environment, our society and our business.

Lundia is proud of our corporate responsibility programme and we are pleased to be able to share what we are doing with you in our report. In this report we can share our achievements to date, and show you the goals we have set for ourselves.

Lundia understands our position in the global picture...treating our employees, the environment and the community in which we operate with the same creativity, quality and high standards of ethics that we put into our products and services.

Corporate Responsibility is about being responsible and caring about each and every area in which we all work

1. Being responsible about how we treat the natural environment and how we use and sustain its resources,
2. Caring about the community in which we work and trying to make improvements wherever we operate,
3. It's about ensuring it is a safe, happy and creative place in which to work for all employees,
4. It's about ethical trading and ensuring good working conditions for everyone who is involved in the creation of products, and
5. It means caring and ensuring we meet the best standards we can, in all areas of our business and are always looking for ways in which to better ourselves.

At Lundia, we are lucky enough to work in a wonderful industry - that of providing products and services to improve the quality of peoples lives and increase business productivity. Enriching lives through our corporate social responsibility policies are as important as enriching people's lives through our products and services.

I hope that you will enjoy reading about our journey. We are proud of the steps we have already taken, and the progress made to date, however, we are still aware that there is still much to do.
