Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)


“Together we can really make a difference”

Dstl’s policy statement for CSR:

“Dstl recognises the importance of behaving responsibly towards people and the environment. Our aim is to act in a positive way in our dealings with our staff, customers, suppliers and the local community. In doing so, we shall behave with integrity and minimise the negative impact on the environment and our stakeholders. We will measure our performance and publicise the results”

Dstl is focused on four core areas, the community, the workplace, the environment and its ethics. Current projects include: supplying all employees with a recycled, reusable glass to reduce plastic cup usage; increasing recycling points across all of our sites; raising the awareness of using recycled paper and turning off power points at the end of the day. Dstl aims to reduce business travel by utilising videoconferencing equipment and piloting an inter-site car sharing scheme.

Dstl’s major CSR achievements to date are in Education and Conservation.
