“Participating in CORE has been a very valuable process for the business. Whilst we have always been proactive with our CSR efforts within our local communities, CORE has provided us with a framework to identify what we are doing well, and highlight areas where we can improve.”

“This process has enabled us to build an extensive portfolio emphasizing our CSR initiatives and ultimately demonstrating our commitment to CSR practice to our staff, customers and suppliers”

“We are always on the lookout for new ways that will create a positive impact to our communities, environment and people. I look forward to developing our CSR efforts across Northern Ireland in the coming years”
