Arup joins top Australian organisations recognised for their leadership in the area of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) for the fifth consecutive year.
Arup was listed amongst the Top 10 organisations with the strongest CSR management capabilities by the Australian Centre for Corporate Social Responsibility (ACCSR) – a list that also includes ABC, National Australia Bank, PwC Australia and Rio Tinto.
“The continual recognition for our leadership in this space can be attributed to the people within our organisation who see corporate social responsibility as integral to the way that we do business.
“We will continue to invest in sustainability, community partnering and pro-bono work, as well as our International Development business – work that continues to be a draw cards for employees and clients and is essential to our corporate culture.
Peter Bailey, Chair and CEO of Arup in Australasia
The Top 10 list was announced as part of the ACCSR’s ‘The State of Corporate Social Responsibility in Australia and New Zealand Annual Review’ – this year produced in conjunction with Deakin University and Wright Communications in Auckland.
Nearly 1000 survey respondents highlighted that despite awareness, the implementation of CSR is still markedly slow – with a call for more leadership from business, government and the academic sector.
The Annual Review suggests that future progress in CSR will be closely tied to innovation in the arenas of supply chain, environment, reporting and collaboration with stakeholders, as well as leadership support.
