EnvironmentIQ comments on Buncefield findings
EnvironmentIQ has commented on the recent findings into the Buncefield disaster by the joint industry and COMAH Competent Authority (CA) Task Group.
The paper provides an overview of what Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programs can achieve, the benefits to a business of implementing a CSR program and the potential risks of ignoring these responsibilities.
As well as exploring the more intangible benefits that CSR can deliver, such as 'improved brand image', the report also explores the measurable benefits that a CSR and Environmental reporting strategy can bring to an organisation such as attracting ethical investment, reducing liabilities, improving operational procedures and lowering insurance costs.
The briefing highlights the key part that monitoring the Environmental and Health and Safety aspects of a CSR program should play and asks businesses to think about how new CSR initiatives are going to be implemented and the importance of robust audit trails in the production process.
