corporate social responsibility
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Sustainability is, in all business decisions, to pursue a higher operating efficiency, and to exploit the opportunities for a better environment, more employee and society welfare. Tensing highly values CSR and made it part of its business. We are constantly looking into achievable steps to further shape our social responsibility.
Because our working area is not covered in classes (such as manufacturing) Tensing has no legal obligation to meet certain sustainability criteria. We still take our responsibility for the effects of our operations on humans and the environment. Currently our head office in The Netherlands had its CO2 footprint registered and we also have an active policy to reduce our CO2 footprint. In June 2011 we were the first ICT company to reach Level 3 in CO2 reduction. We have set ourselves a target to reach a 2% reduction in 2011 compared to 2010. When we achieve this goal, we reach level 4 (5 is the highest).
We also make conscious choices in order to achieve a balance between People, Planet and Profit. We go one step further and focus on new market opportunities, growth and innovation gains for people, society and environment.
