Corporate Social Responsibility

"It's all about quality of life and finding a happy balance between work and friends and family". (Philip Green).

Our approach to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) underpins our commitment to Quality, Value, Service, Innovation and Trust. It allows us to manage our operations responsibly, identify risks and make the most of opportunities to differentiate ourselves from our competitors.

This helps us to attract clients, recruit and retain the best people, form better partnerships with our suppliers and create greater value for our shareholders.

The QTCo policy gives a comprehensive view of our CSR activities across our operations to build a sense of trust in the people we depend on as a Company. It demonstrates the degree of care we take in sourcing our products, whether it be apparel or premiums, the support we give our employees and what we are doing to reduce our impact on the environment.

Standards of business conduct

We are committed to ensuring that our business is conducted in all respects according to rigorous ethical, professional and legal standards.

Customers

We seek to provide our customers with a service hallmarked by integrity, quality and care. There is no bigger risk to us as a Company than losing the trust and confidence people have in us and our products.

Human rights

We respect the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and have been guided by its provisions, in developing our own Human Rights policy.

Workforce

We are guided by our aim to be an outstanding employer.

Health and safety

We are committed to providing a working environment which is both safe and fit for the intended purpose and ensures that health and safety issues are a priority for all business operations.

Suppliers

We regard suppliers as our partners and work with them to help us achieve our policy aspirations in the delivery of our products and services.

Community

We strive to be a good corporate citizen, recognising our responsibility to work in partnership with the communities in which we operate.

Environment

We are committed to a programme of management and continuous improvement of our direct and indirect impacts, which marks our contribution to improving the world in which we live. We recognise that our business activities have direct and indirect impacts on the society in which we operate. We endeavour to manage these in a responsible manner, believing that sound and demonstrable performance in relation to corporate social responsibility policies and practices is a fundamental part of business success. We are committed to continuous improvement in our corporate social responsibility programme and encourage our business partners to strive for matching performance.
