Responsibility

Corporate citizenship, written into the work

Economic, social and environmental criteria above and beyond legislative requirements — for everyone influenced by our activities.

CSR

Corporate social responsibility

Corporate Social Responsibility is defined as the voluntary commitment of our business to include in our corporate practices economic, social, and environmental criteria and actions, which are above and beyond legislative requirements and related to a broader range of stakeholders: everyone is influenced by our activities.

At DESCO, we are dedicated to becoming an industry leader in corporate citizenship by creating a sustainable future for generations to come. Our environmental commitment is to reduce the global impact of our operations which enables both DESCO and our customers to function more resourcefully through improved health, education and environmental protection.

DESCO is committed to a working environment that minimises the risk to the safety and health of all employees. We make every effort to address both the environmental and health impact of our operations by reducing waste and emissions, and sustain an incident and injury free work environment.

One of our main priorities is to give back to communities in which we live and work. In addition to supporting the development of natural sources, we provide direct social benefits to a large number of people in need.

  • Environment Protecting environment and natural resources.
  • Quality culture Promoting standardisation and quality culture.
  • Communities Supporting communities and social welfare by job creation.
  • Partnership Developing a culture of cooperation and partnership.

Sustainability is part of DESCO’s strategy, decisions and activities. Our engineers receive continuous encouragement as they develop more sustainable work methods and innovations. In everything we do, we strive to minimise any harmful effects of our work and encourage the beneficial ones where possible. During design and construction of one of our contracts in CIS, for instance, we created a special breeding program for birds, to avoid disturbing their nesting area.
