Carlton Annual Report 2002 Homepage
Corporate Social Responsibility
Carlton takes its social and environmental responsibilities seriously.

Carlton engages constructively with enquiries from socially responsible investors and is listed in a number of green and ethical indexes including the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index and FTSE4Good. Carlton also participates in the Media Sector CSR Forum.

Management
The board director responsible for social and environmental issues is Paul Murray, Finance Director.

Carlton’s most significant issues are associated with viewers, local communities and employees. We have a duty to viewers to uphold high standards and comply with codes of conduct. We believe that we should be active members of the communities we serve, supporting local causes and championing local issues. Television is a people business, and our ability to attract top talent is enhanced by being recognised as a responsible company.

Our environmental impact is small and the main implication for the business is the cost of purchasing resources such as energy and materials. Our ongoing focus on these issues will improve efficiency and produce cost savings.

Carlton has formal policies covering the environment, human resources and business conduct and is governed by the industry codes applying to programme and advertising content.
