Corporate Social Responsibility

At Brightstream the development and well-being of our staff and sustainability are core to our business. While ensuring the highest standards of corporate social responsibility within our own direct operations, we place a high value on our suppliers being able to demonstrate similarly high standards.

Where appropriate, we recognise the positive effect and influence we can have on companies throughout our supply chain, thereby playing our part in improving social, ethical, and environmental standards all around the world.

Our commitment to driving improvements in Corporate Social Responsibility across our direct and indirect activities is symbolised by:

• Certified to both ISO 14001 and ISO 9001 management systems
• SEDEX registered (A/B member)
• Audited to ETI (Ethical Trading Initiative) base code
• Certified to BRC (British Retail Consortium) packaging standard
• FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) and PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification schemes) chain-of-custody certified
• Completion of a full GHG assessment of our business (Sept 2008), audited by the Edinburgh Centre for Carbon Management, and a commitment to progressively reducing our direct carbon emissions and improving our resource efficiency.
