CSR is a self-regulated business model that helps businesses
become more socially accountable. A company that practices CSR means they are
conscious of the impact their operation has on societal, political, economic or
environmental issues outside of their business. Engaging in CSR essentially
means your business is proactively contributing to factors that affect wider
society in a positive way.
CSR can encompass a wide variety of actions and obligations,
but the important thing to remember is that the benefits don’t just flow one
way. While it does a lot of good for the community, CSR also significantly
benefits businesses to help forge a stronger bond between employee and employer.
CSR can also boost morale and can help both employees and employers feel more
connected with the world around them.
In 2010, the International Organization for Standardization
(ISO) released a set of voluntary standards meant to help companies implement
corporate social responsibility. Unlike other ISO standards, ISO 26000 provides
guidance rather than requirements because the nature of CSR is more qualitative
than quantitative, and its standards cannot be certified. Instead, ISO 26000
clarifies what social responsibility is and helps organizations translate CSR
principles into effective actions. The standard is aimed at all types of
organizations regardless of their activity, size, or location. And, because
many key stakeholders from around the world contributed to developing ISO
26000, this standard represents an international consensus.
This is where we come in, as we believe the BriteAngle LED
Warning Triangle can undoubtedly help your business achieve the appropriate
levels of CSR. If you have drivers out on the roads today, spare a thought for
them if they have to make an unplanned stoppage on the roadside. There is a
duty of care you have towards your drivers that, if they do need to stop, they
need to be as safe as possible. This is exactly what the BriteAngle does. We do
not leave making your drivers whereabouts known to the chance of oncoming
headlights illuminating a standard warning triangle.
The BriteAngle significantly increases visibility and
stopping distances compared to standard warning triangles. This is not a scare
tactic or a sales pitch. This is the harsh reality that if your drivers are not
provided with the best quality safety equipment, not just for when on the road
but throughout their day regardless of profession, not only are you not meeting
CSR standards, you’re putting your employees at avoidable risk.
Don’t leave your drivers safety to chance. Keep them seen
and safe and boost your CSR levels with the BriteAngle LED Warning Triangle.
