Corporate Responsibility
All Capital Shopping Centres (CSC) centres are committed to working closely with the communities we serve and operating responsibly in terms of care for the environment, reduction in energy consumption and promotion of increased recycling of waste. We continue to be rated as a top 100 company by Business in the Community in their corporate Responsibility Index and remain constituent members of the FTSE4Good, Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes and JSE SRI Index.
In November 2010 CSC was proud to be awarded the rare and valuable CommunityMark, developed by Business in the Community. It is just recognition of the dedication and work of staff throughout the business, and working with our community partners, dealing with issues that are important to us and, we know, our customers. Only by a focused approach and working closely together can our key objectives be successfully accomplished. Our success is based on innovative community programmes tailored to the locations where we operate. We recognise that our centres are part of the hub of the communities in which they are located and the projects developed with our partners reflect local needs.
