As one of the leading ICT companies in Europe, Telindus takes up the role on the level of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). This movement to more consciously responsible undertakings is now strengthened through entry in the Belgacom Group.

 

Corporate Social Responsibility involves the contribution that a company delivers to society as a whole. The most obvious contribution of Telindus is in its activities designed to create value, business opportunities and innovation. The approach to CSR goes even further, so that a company also contributes to the environment in all its forms and to the people inside the company.

 

 

The most visible element of Telindus' concerns is in the integrated policy on quality, safety and environment that exists since 2004. The management systems linked to this policy ensures the delivery of high-quality, safe and environmentally friendly products and services.

 

The integrated policy administers the three pillars of CSR: Planet, Profit and People, through formalising these principles in related systems, such as ISO 14001 (environmental standards), ISO 9001 (quality standards) and VCA (safety).

 

Moreover, the three pillars are part of Telindus' supplier selection procedure for strategic vendors.

 

 

Telindus goes a step further and consciously chooses to provide an extra contribution to society. Telindus has developed a number of points around the theme "people", with emphasis on the subject of diversity.

 

From this point of view, Telindus fully participates in the new diversity policy, which was outlined by Belgacom. In 2006, the diversity plan will be focused on the proportions of both male/female and foreign/native employees. The plan of the diversity plan will receive subsidies from the European Social Fund.

 

 

Telindus supports knowledge and innovation and shares these principles with others as a matter of course. One of these actions revolves around the creation of vocational training for the unemployed. The training will be conducted at the John Cordier Academy and a number of trainees could become employed by the Belgian division of Telindus.

 

 

To assist Telindus in all of these developments, Telindus is a member of Business & Society Belgium, a syndicate that promotes socially responsible undertakings in Belgium. As a member, the management team of Telindus has signed the Business & Society Charter.

 

With these actions involving responsible undertakings, Telindus does its part to contribute to positive developments in our society.
