What is Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability?
Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability (CR&S) drives organisations to act in an ethical and responsible manner, encouraging a positive impact through its activities on the environment, consumers, employees, stakeholders and the surrounding communities in which it operates.
What does it mean for Bupa?
For Bupa, CR&S means using our healthcare expertise in a way that is good for business, and good for the communities in which we operate.
CR&S at Bupa covers many areas, including employee giving and volunteering, community health and wellbeing partnerships, addressing and minimising our impact on the environment, and fostering affiliations with like-minded businesses and organisations.
