Corporate Social Responsibility Policy Statement
ABC Bus Companies, Inc. (“ABC”) has embodied the true spirit of corporate social responsibility, and we are committed to the highest standards of corporate citizenship. Corporate social responsibility is important to who we are as a company. Our policies ensure that we rigorously adhere to the highest standards in ethical behavior, environmental sustainability, engagement and more.
ABC’s corporate social responsibility commitments are built around four critical areas:
- Employees & People – We take seriously our responsibilities to protect, support, and provide workers a safe place to work. Our efforts are focused on providing career opportunities, training, and continuing education to the workforce, and leading by example in areas such as workplace safety, health and wellness, and training and development. We are an equal opportunity employer and are committed to the protection of human rights, and the prevention of human trafficking.
- Ethics – ABC is committed to doing the right thing, conducting ourselves in a legal, ethical, and trustworthy manner, upholding our regulatory obligations, and complying with both the letter and spirit of our business policies.
- Engagement – ABC understands that it takes all of us working together to truly have an impact. As such, we partner with organizations in the communities where we live and work to improve lives and society as a whole – by engaging in activities such as community service and charity giving.
- Environment – ABC recognizes a shared responsibility to protect our planet, by reducing the environmental impact of our business through preservation, conservation, and waste reduction practices.
Underlying our corporate social responsibility program is a set of core policies that outline our approach and guide our activities.
- Code of Conduct – ABC Code of Conduct provides mechanisms to prevent dishonest or unethical conduct and fosters a culture of honesty and accountability. This policy outlines the responsibilities of our employees, including ensuring that our suppliers are aware of their obligation to conduct themselves in a legal and ethical way.
- We treat all employees with dignity and respect and follow all applicable laws and legislation related to labor and human rights. Below are examples of initiatives we have in place:
- Equal Employment Opportunity – ABC is an equal opportunity employer. All employment decisions are based on business needs, job requirements, and individual qualifications, without regard to race, color, religion, sex, age, national origin, disability, veteran status, genetic information, and other legally protected categories.
- Accommodations Policy – It is the policy of ABC to comply with all applicable laws concerning the employment of persons with disabilities.
- Anti-Harassment Policy – ABC is committed to maintaining a work environment that is free from harassment. As such, ABC will not tolerate harassment of, or by, its employees.
We are individually and collectively accountable for upholding our corporate social responsibility commitments. We encourage participation across our organization and continually work to ensure our actions are ethically and environmentally responsible.
