It’s about responsibility (CSR)
Our Corporate Social Responsibility policy (CSR) is not just another statement to
issue and file away, but is a serious long-term investment in the future. Whilst
we cannot change everything overnight, with every small change we make to our own
business, we feel that we can start making a positive ethical, social and environmental
difference to our world.
Henry Besley’s principal of partnership influences our approach to CSR involving
our employees, our suppliers and very importantly our customers. This inclusive
approach encourages us to think laterally about how these relationships can benefit
both our CSR partners and our own business. We think Henry would have approved.
Conservation
As part of our long-term strategy, we are proud to have achieved accreditation from
both the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and the Programme for the Endorsement
of Forest Certification (PEFC) enabling us to take our CSR global.

Chain of Custody
Our customers can also enhance their own CSR policy by being part of our Chain of
Custody scheme. This enables the FSC or PEFC logo to be displayed on your operational
or marketing print when using a certified FSC or PEFC product. For further information
on how to add the FSC or PEFC logo to your own products, please call our support
team on 01392 477137 or email us.
Charity
A very important part of our CSR strategy operates close-to-home, with all of our
employees being encouraged to champion their own local good cause. Most recently
we have sponsored a local football team by buying them a new football strip, we
have supplied complimentary print & design services for a charity fundraising organisation
(supporting Help the Heroes and Macmillan Cancer Support) and raised over £7000
for Cancer Research UK.
