Corporate Social Responsibility

Is recognising that our activities not only have an affect on our own and clients operations and activities they also have an affect on everyone our activities come into contact with. As a corporate citizen we need to address the needs of all of these interested parties to ensure we have minimum impact and maximum transparency and accountability for the things that we do, responding to concerns in a timely manner and acting with integrity with all of our dealings with these diverse range of stakeholders.

The Importance of Corporate Social Responsibility to Baldwins Crane Hire

We feel that we have a responsibility to the communities that we operate in and to the clients that we provide our service for. Our activities touch stakeholders at depot locations, during plant movements across the country and operational activities on site. It is important to the continues success of the company that we listen to the requirements and concerns of all the individuals and organisations we encounter to ensure a better understanding of their needs giving us a framework to use to minimise disruption, harm to the environment, increase safety and encompass the health of stakeholders in current and future operations.

We have also incorporated these ethics with good business in mind, to give our clients confidence that they are working with a supplier that holds similar values to their own therefore allowing projects to run smoothly knowing that we care about the communities that they work within.
