Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is the practice of integrating social and environmental goals into business operations.
At Scotgold, we examine how our business practices affect:
- our employees, customers, consultants and visitors
- the local community
- the environment in which we work
- human rights
The three broad areas on which we focus are:
