Corporate Social Responsibility
Shepherds take a serious approach to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).
Our aim is to address the needs of our customers, the community and our employees. To us CSR provides frameworks for successful enterprise that is harmonious with our surroundings.
We believe CSR must be sustainable - remaining a fundamental part of business regardless of changing fortunes

We believe that good environmental practice is an integral part of how we run our business. We will therefore manage our impact on the environment, set targets, measure and continuously improve our performance. We will regularly monitor, review and report our progress on these issues.

Human Resources
Shepherds are committed to inclusion, diversity and avoiding any form of discrimination. We believe in promoting a working environment free from any harassment. We encourage a learning environment to enable employees to realise their full potential.
-
Quality Assurance / Compliance
Shepherds have created a Quality Assurance Policy which allows us to work in close co-operation with customers, suppliers and sub-contractors to provide the right quality work and service, on time in full. We actively seek customer feedback and use this as a format for continuous assessment and improvement.
-
Vulnerable Road Users
Our vehicles share the roads with many other road users, some of whom are at far greater risk than others. We recognise that some of these road users may warrant special consideration and greater vigilance in order to protect their safety and wellbeing. We aim to avoid all collisions involving other road users and have identified the significant risks involving transport activities (including the safety of vulnerable road uses) and have put in place procedures to reduce these risks. Owing to the variable factors involved no single measure is enough to completely ensure safety.
Our statement of principles for key CSR areas are:
