Corporate Responsibility

Fox Marble is committed to conduct its business to high ethical standards and with integrity. An important part of this is operating our company in a responsible and sustainable fashion.

 

Our People

Commitment to Health & safety

We operate in an industry where workplace safety is an everyday focus and it is our number one priority.

To ensure a safe and effective operational environment and to ensure the safety of our workers, we work to standards on dimensional stone quarrying from Italy, and Health and Safety standards from the UK and EU. We aim to certify our system in 2014.

 

Environmental Sustainability

Fox Marble is committed to working to preserve the environment and operating in the most sustainable and efficient way possible.

In the planning phase of each quarry site we consider the environmental impact of our operations. We focus on waste material, dust, noise and water management, and alter the development plan accordingly.

 

Policy on Bribery and Corruption

Fox Marble recognises that market practice varies across the territories in which it does business and what is normal and acceptable in one place may not be in another.

Fox Marble prohibits the offering, giving, solicitation or acceptance of any bribe, whether cash or other inducement to or from any person or company.

Fox Marble recognises that over and above the commission of any crime, any involvement in bribery will also reflect adversely on the Company's image and reputation.

This policy is not meant to prohibit the following practices providing they are customary in a particular market, are proportionate and are properly recorded:

  • Normal and appropriate hospitality
  • The giving of a ceremonial gift on a festival or at another special time
  • The use of any recognised fast-track process which is available to all on payment of a fee
  • The offer of resources to assist the person or body to make the decision more efficiently provided that they are supplied for that purpose only.

Inevitably, decisions as to what is acceptable may not always be easy. If anyone is in doubt as to whether a potential act constitutes bribery, the matter should be referred to a Fox Marble senior manager.
