Our Commitment
Dinstock recognises that integrating social, environmental and ethical responsibilities into the governance of businesses ensures long-term success, competitiveness and sustainability. Further, CSR makes business sense as companies with effective CSR have the image of socially responsible companies, achieve sustainable growth in their operations in the long run, and their products and services are likely to be preferred by customers.
Dinstock aspires to be a forward thinking and responsible business with its employees, the local community and the environment at the forefront of its day-to-day activities.
To achieve our CSR ambitions we have formulated a strategy which includes the following:
- Providing support for the wellbeing and development of our employees.
- Minimising our impact on the environment.
- Improving the positive impact on the communities we live and work in.
- Developing our partnerships with suppliers.
Employee Relations

Supply Chain

- We do not, and will not, engage indirectly in or otherwise encourage bribery. We are committed to the prevention, deterrence and detection of bribery. We have zero- tolerance towards bribery. We aim to maintain anti-bribery compliance “business as usual”, rather than as a one-off exercise.
