Corporate Social Responsibility

As an independent owned company, built over 28 years, Kings Office Furniture Ltd recognises its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and we believe that the long-term future of our business is best served by respecting the interests of all our customers, suppliers, employees and the wider community.

 

Our People and our Workplace

Kings Office Furniture Ltd are committed to fairness, equality of opportunity and diversity in all its employment practices, policies and procedures. We recognise that our business will only create value if we have engaged, healthy colleagues working in good quality environments with access to appropriate levels of training and development. We try to work in a friendly environment, both in the context of our work and in our own communities. We do not want to control our people’s engagement but we encourage everyone involved in any activities to share photos and successes to encourage support from the company.

We are encouraged by the aspiration of VOW to ‘live’ a positive culture where colleagues, customers and suppliers respect each other and our surroundings, regardless of our religious background, cultural heritage or gender.

We are committed to ensuring we have a healthy and educated workforce whose views are listened to and respected. We try to nurture and encourage incoming and existing talent, expand our skills & experience, and ensure that all employees are able to develop relevant skills and knowledge to enrich their contribution and carve their own career path.
