Social Responsibility
Giving Back to our Community
EQUATE's corporate social responsibility program is our commitment of our
business to contribute to sustainable economic development, working with
employees, their families, the local community and society at large to improve
their quality of life.
It includes: human rights, employee rights, environmental protection, supplier
relations, business ethics, corporate governance & accountability and
marketplace issues.
Why are we doing this?
What is becoming increasingly important in the corporate world is not only the
bottom-line, or financial corporate earnings, but also the triple-bottom line.
This refers to the corporate commitment to be a responsible citizen of the
world around us, thinking not only of turning a profit, but also about how to
give back to the community in which we operate.
This is why EQUATE's CSR program attempts to offer long term business benefits
to the EQUATE community and their families while making a positive contribution
to the development of Kuwaiti society.
