General principles of its commitment to CSR
The creation of the Imagin/able firm in April 2008 by Thomas Busuttil was clearly focused on supporting companies in the development and implementation of their sustainable development approach, which has since become CSR.
As former Director of Sustainable Development, a position he had held in several large groups, he was very aware that one of the greatest difficulties of this type of approach was the consistency between his words and his actions, whether they affect economic and financial, environmental, social or societal dimensions.
It is for this reason that Imagin/able has since its inception sought to develop its own internal approach based on a few fundamental principles :
- Imagin/able is a humanist company based on knowledge, sharing, respect and tolerance which implements a real distribution of value, for its employees as well as for its suppliers
- It has employees curious about the world around them, autonomous in their actions and their development, convinced of their mission and determined to do their part to accelerate the necessary transition of our company, in their professional commitment, internally and externally. externally, and if they wish personal
- Its relationship with its customers and suppliers is based on a strong commitment in terms of involvement and quality of deliverables and on a truly partnership vision of respect and balance in its relations with all of its stakeholders.
All of the actions and measures that contribute to guaranteeing its general principles of commitment to its CSR approach are described in the 4 following appendices :
- Vision, Mission and offers
- Ethics policy and business practice
- Social Policy
- Environmental policy
These four appendices as well as these principles are likely to evolve over time depending on the possible evolution of the issues with which the firm may be confronted and the progress/difficulties that we may encounter in their implementation.
Aware of the difficulty of keeping this consistency between words and actions, we are open to any exchange, any proposal, suggestion allowing us to improve its principles or their implementation, in particular through our contact box. ; contact@imaginableforgood.com .
