"I
am pleased to present our seventh Corporate Social Responsibility
Report, which describes how we are managing our social, economic
and environmental responsibilities.
At the time of writing this report we have completed
one of our most challenging years to date. The economic uncertainties
have affected everyone in some shape or form. The problems
in the world financial markets has resulted in a restriction
of credit this in turn seriously affected the housing market
and peoples ability to buy new homes.
Notwithstanding these difficult economic times,
we have maintained our focus on corporate social responsibility
and have continued to show improvements in the way that we
manage our environmental and social obligations.
Corporate responsibility is a fundamental element
of our governance process and is essential to our long-term
success. This website will connect you to all aspects of our
business and demonstrates how we apply our principles in practice."
