Corporate Social Responsibility
At Kirby, we conduct our business in an ethical manner and in accordance with current internationally recognised best practice with respect to CSR. We are mindful of our duty to our employees, business partners, the communities we work within and our environment to build a sustainable future for all individuals and localities affected by our various operations.
Our people are our most valued resource. Their health, safety and well-being is our primary concern. Our aim is to promote diversity, equal opportunity, respect and personal development within our company and among our colleagues.
We are a community based organisation. While international in nature, our work is delivered locally with significant interaction with the communities we work within. We support, through active involvement and financial contribution, community based initiatives which seek to build local infrastructure, support local needs and foster community integration.
We believe that Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) goes well beyond our environmental impact. It is about incorporating our values into our workplace, the community, the market place and the supply chain in which we operate in.
Environment
Kirby is committed to ensuring its business activities do not result in the pollution of the environment. We seek to minimise waste production, encourage the recycling and reuse of materials where practicable, and conserve energy where possible.
Workplace
We commit ourselves to develop each staff member as far as possible. We ensure equal opportunities exist for all and a good work-life balance is promoted amongst all personnel.
Community
We continue our commitment to local communities through participation in local and national initiatives that promote social diversity and social inclusion.
Market Place
Kirby has built a strong reputation based on professional competence and respect in relation to client confidentiality. We endeavour to engage with our stakeholders in a responsible manner and obtain feedback from our clients so we can continually improve.
Supply Chain
Kirby endeavours to procure products and services through a partnership approach ensuring best value and sustainability. We ensure our suppliers, customers, and business partners share our responsibility towards the environment.
Sustainability
At Kirby, sustainability is about protecting our environment and communities – now and for future generations. We aim to promote sustainability through responsible sourcing of suppliers and materials, good design, minimising waste, and providing a safe working environment for staff, building users and the surrounding community.
Kirby understand the need to deliver projects that are not only cost-effective but also sustainable. Kirby has successfully achieved BREEAM ‘Excellent’ and LEED ratings on a number of developments within our portfolio.
