CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY POLICY
Increasing world population, urbanisation and global mobility is generating high pressure on natural resources,
greenhouse gas emissions, congestion, pollution, social and public health issues. In response to these challenges, Suscons takes its responsibility to support the transition to more sustainable systems that are accessible for all and to implement a sustainable business model.
Suscons is committed to ensuring that any business undertakings are conducted as ethically as possible by following the below policy.
Who we are and what we do
Suscons is an innovative sustainability driven company which carries out robust research and development of its own designed products to bring solutions to humanitarian projects globally.

Suppliers’ Standards
We aim to develop long term relationships with good suppliers with a similar vision to ours and maintain good working relations with them. Where possible, we prefer to work with local suppliers who:

Protecting the Environment
One of our core purposes is to reduce the environmental impact of our business activities as much as possible. We do
this by:

– Measuring our water usage and implementing water saving devices where appropriate;
– Maximise the use of recycled and recyclable materials in our products;
– Minimising transport emissions by reducing the need to travel, wherever possible, maximise our vehicle payloads and ensure all vehicles are well maintained.
Community Engagement
Our vision is to change lives by putting people first, avoiding waste and making a difference. We are community focused and work closely with charitable organisations such as Sustainable West Midlands Red Cross IFRC
Measurement
We will regularly measure and monitor these measures through our Quality Management and Environmental
Management Systems and through an annual review.
