Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Policy
Thermex Limited believe Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is about understanding the business' impact on the wider world and how we can influence this impact in a positive way. CSR is fundamentally an umbrella term to encapsulate how the company impacts and engages with our key stakeholders including the following:
(i) Environment
(ii) Employees
(iii) Community
(iv) Suppliers
In order to achieve our company objectives, Thermex ensures annual audits are undertaken to review each of the above areas.
Environment
Thermex are committed to ensuring that we reduce our environmental impact and continue to improve our environmental performance as an integral part of our business strategy and operating methods.
Working in partnership with Lloyds Register Quality Assurance (LRQA) auditing authority, we employ ISO 14001: 2015 methodology to systematically manage our environmental responsibilities covering waste reduction, efficient use of raw materials, recycling strategies and energy consumption.
Employees
Thermex strive to achieve equality of opportunity and diversity in all its employment practices, policies and procedures. We are committed to ensuring we have a healthy and educated workforce, whose views are listened to and respected. Thermex nurture ambition and ensure that all employees are able to develop relevant skills and knowledge to enrich their contribution and carve their own career path.
Community
Thermex value the local community and believe in supporting resident businesses. This helps to create mutually supportive relationships and also supports the economic growth of the sector and country.
Suppliers
Thermex are committed to ensuring that all our suppliers have good business ethics and meet the standards we hold in high esteem. We aim to develop relationships built on shared trust and communal responsibility.
Strategic CSR
The company has made savings through improving our carbon footprint. This enables Thermex to pass on the benefits through channeling some of these savings to projects such as those above. A relatively small amount of money can make a big difference when targeted carefully. Through combining our efforts with other organisations, focusing on quality projects which we feel will make a big difference, Thermex can influence our contribution and punch above our weight in the field of Corporate Social Responsibility.
Global Guidelines
Thermex adhere to The International Labour Organization (ILO) Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work particularly following core labour standards:
(i) The freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining;
(ii) The elimination of forced and compulsory labour;
(iii) The abolition of child labour;
(iv) The elimination of discrimination in the workplace
The International Labour Organization (ILO) is the United Nations agency for the world of work. The ILO brings together governments, employers and workers from its 187 member states in a human-centred approach to the future of work based on decent employment creation, rights at work, social protection and social dialogue.

We also adhere to guidelines set out by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). An international organisation that works to build better policies for better lives. They draw on more than 60 years of experience and insights to shape policies that foster prosperity and opportunity, underpinned by equality and well-being.
Working closely with policy makers, stakeholders and citizens to establish evidence-based international standards and finding solutions to social, economic and environmental challenges. From improving economic performance and strengthening policies to fighting climate change to bolstering education and fighting international tax evasion, the OECD is a unique forum and knowledge hub for data, analysis and best practices in public policy. Their core aim is to provide advice on international standard-setting – and help countries forge a path towards stronger, fairer and cleaner societies.
