Perry become members of the Organisation for Responsible Businesses

Perry Process have recently become members of the Organisation for Responsible Businesses (ORB).

 

The ORB is specifically for small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs).  Becoming a member demonstrates our commitment to the following:

 

“We pledge to operate our business in an honest and ethical manner; to consider people and the environment when making business decisions; and endeavour to make a positive contribution to the local community and society at large.”

 

What it means to Perry

We joined the ORB because we are aware that business decisions can affect the planet and the wider society.  It's fair to say that Perry are just getting started, but we see joining the ORB as our first step in contributing towards a sustainable future.  

All members of the ORB have taken and passed the Responsible Business Questionnaire. We found this process to be very thought provoking, and it helped to highlight the areas for improvement, and to set our agenda going forward.

Responsible Activities

The ORB have grouped responsible activities in to 5 key areas, as follows: 

1. Workplace.  

Focusing on good working conditions, as well as providing staff development and training opportunities.

2. Environment.

Being aware of how much impact our business actions have on the environment.  Looking to make changes to improve such as recycling paper, waste disposal, water and heating savings.

3. Community.

Considering the needs of the local community and choosing local suppliers where possible to support the local economy.

4. The Marketplace.

Behaving responsibly towards suppliers and customers.  

5. Values and Transparency.

Operating in an open, honest and transparent way with all stakeholders.
