Approved by Raymond Cullen, Managing Director — next review January 2027
The values, ethics and environmental commitments Cullen Utilities Ltd holds itself to as a responsible organisation.
The purpose of this policy is to demonstrate Cullen Utilities Ltd's responsibility towards the environments we work in and the values and ethics we commit to as a responsible organisation. It applies to everyone working for us or on our behalf, at all levels, including directors, managers, employees, agency and seconded workers, interns, agents, contractors, consultants, third-party representatives, business partners and sponsors.
We respect and comply with all relevant legislation applicable to us; implement, monitor and review our own internal policies and procedures; and keep partnerships and collaborations open and transparent. Our behaviour is always respectful, with a focus on integrity and human rights — promoting safety and fairness in decision-making, respect towards all people and other businesses, and anti-bribery and anti-corruption practices in line with our internal policy.
The earth's natural environment must be protected. We follow best practice as a minimum for waste generation and disposal and recycle wherever possible. Beyond our legal responsibilities, we proactively protect the environment by recycling, managing and reducing carbon emissions, and using environmentally friendly materials and substances.
We take steps to ensure our company does not risk the health and safety of any person, harm the lives of local and indigenous people, or discriminate against anyone — we support diversity and inclusion. As a committed equal opportunity employer, we protect human rights and comply with all related legislation and guidance.
Where budget allows, we make donations and give aid to help organise community events and assist those in need. We encourage employees to volunteer at internal and external events and may consider sponsorship opportunities. Where notified, we may support community investment, educational and sporting programmes, and non-profit organisations.
Cullen Utilities Ltd is committed to the United Nations Global Compact. In line with our commitment to continuous improvement, we make changes to how we operate to maintain and regularly improve our corporate social responsibility performance.
