PRP launches its first CSR report

05.02.2007

In an effort to consider not just the economic impact of its activities, but also take into account its social and environmental impact as well, PRP is launching its first corporate and social responsibility (CSR) report. The company has called it Vision, Values & Responsibility 2007 and plans to produce this every two years.

PRP’s CSR report outlines its activities and measures its performance in three key areas: contributing to a better environment, developing its skills base to promote excellence throughout the organisation, and initiatives to support the design and environmental professions.

Since its formation in 1963, PRP is now a large limited company operating out of four UK offices, employing over 330 people. The very nature of its founding business – with a focus on design for the living environment - has always required it to be responsive to the people involved in the process, including clients, end-users and its employees, and sensitive in the design of the environments and buildings it creates.

PRP Director, Andy von Bradsky, who is responsible for PRP’s Sustainability strategy on the PRP Board, said:

“We are an organisation that was founded on clear principles and objectives that we now wish to explicitly set out in the form of a Corporate Social Responsibility statement – it details how we wish to make positive environmental and social impacts. It is important that we demonstrate how we have developed our own business and how we would like to shape our future, not just in terms of our business and people that we employ but that of the places we design and the people who are affected by the environments we create.”
