CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY

A responsible and sustainable way of doing business

At Gibtelecom we are committed to making a difference in the local community now and for the future. We have an overarching commitment to being a purposeful and responsible business, whilst adding value for our customers, our business and our society as a whole.

Good governance is of upmost importance and we strive to maintain good business practices in everything we do. That means maintaining high standards of ethics and ensuring privacy and data security, and being respectful to our stakeholders. We are also implementing sustainability strategies where possible, with environmental targets set each year.

Gibtelecom’s “Green Journey” has continued to reduce the Company’s carbon footprint in 2018.  We have encouraged customers to opt for online bills to save paper, we have changed to recycled paper for our Freepost envelopes.  In house, we have recycling bins in all our offices.

We continue to support the GFSB Business Innovation Awards.  This competition is aimed at local businesses to highlight entrepreneurship and innovation.
