Corporate Social Responsibility
It's not all about work.
Corporate Social Responsibility is a commitment by Tradeteam to behave ethically and to contribute to economic development while improving the quality of life of the workforce and their families as well as the local community at large.
Tradeteam has an active corporate social responsibility programme. The company believes that it has a responsibility to use its core skills to create benefit within the local community and to demonstrate a healthy social conscience at every opportunity.
Tradeteam understands the concept that all companies have obligations to the wider community and that good corporate citizenship extends further than simply following the law. Many of Tradeteam's employees have already enjoyed the personal rewards in getting involved in their local community to raise money or to enrich lives.
Three examples of active initiatives:
TACS (Trucks and Child Safety) is a programme which is actively supported by Tradeteam. It is a national safety training programme that aims to keep children safe around larger vehicle on the road. Volunteers are trained to become demonstrators and are supported
by Tradeteam as they take time out to deliver the message to local school children.
DHL run a fantastic scheme called 'Raise It Match It' supported by its charitable foundation. Any employee can raise money for a charity, local school, community
initiative of his or her choice and then have it matched by DHL.
Child Literacy support is another example of CSR in the community. This initiative provides
disadvantaged children with help to develop a love of reading and learning. Volunteers receive training and through working with children from 6-11 week in and out gain both personal satisfaction and at the same time greatly improve the chances of the child in their
care to go on and have a happy and successful life.
