The Importance of Social Responsibility

posted in: General 1

There are four types of social responsibility (Generally followed by Corporate Companies):

  • Environmental responsibility
  • Human rights responsibility
  • Philanthropic responsibility
  • Economic responsibility

All of the above-named form in what we call “Social responsibility”, The below is a break down of what they are and why they are important:

Environmental Responsibilities:

  • Comply with environmental legislation.
  • Hazardous substances covered by Environmental legislation.
  • Waste and recycling.
  • Conservation and Biodiversity issues for Businesses.
  • Prevent and remedy pollution incidents.

As we all know our world is in danger with regards to pollution, it is vital that we prevent that we use natural resources in the most effective and efficient manner in order to reduce environmental impacts.

Here are a few things we can do to help protect the Earth:

  • Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.
  • Plant a tree.
  • Conserve water.
  • Volunteer for clean-ups in your neighborhoods.

Human Rights Responsibilities:

  • To treat people with respect and Dignity
  • The right to live your life free of Discrimination
  • The Right to Liberty and Freedom

Human rights are important because it gives all of our society fairness, dignity, equality and respect.

Philanthropic responsibility:

  • Philanthropic responsibility is an act of Charitable acts or volunteering time and efforts.

Companies giving to charity is important because a lot of the charities would not exist if they did not get funding from companies as they are not supported by the Government. Charities often do not have a voice and having big corporate companies backing them helps them get the word out that there are people in need. Companies enhance their reputation and demonstrate their good citizenship.

Economic responsibility:

An example of Economic responsibility is when a company uses recycled products in their manufacturing processes to potentially lowering the cost of materials and also benefiting society by consuming fewer resources.

Economic Responsibility is important because companies can find a solution that can grow their business as well as generate profits with is also beneficial to our community.

Be Kind to the planet and all who live in it.

About Lola Govender

My name is Lola Govender. I have been working at L2B for 14 years and am very passionate about our business.

Tips for Buyers using L2B

To receive the best and relevant prices for your tender, take into consideration the following:

When Creating the L2Q Bill Request:

  • Ensure that the Vendors / Subcontractors are given enough time to price the RFQ, too short a lead time and they will be unable to submit a price.
  • Provide a start date, as this will determine whether their schedule will allow them to price.
  • Provide an accurate location (physical address or GPS co-ordinates) where the work will take place.
  • Provide as much information as possible, i.e., drawings or scope of works, etc.

When Sending out the RFQ’s:

  • Read the description of the company before selecting, as some companies might only do a specific part of a trade and it might not be the work that needs to be priced.
  • Select the companies that service the applicable region and send them to a select list.
  • Only send to one contact in the same company, as selecting multiple contacts in the same company may cause confusion.

After RFQ’s have been sent:

  • Respond to queries that may be sent to you from the Vendors / Subcontractors.

By following the steps above, you should receive a spread of prices to assist in compiling your tender, and as always, the L2Q Department is available for assistance and will assist in following up on prices still required.
