Corporate and Social Responsibility

At Quer, corporate social responsibility is more than just something in a company brochure: it’s a way of life driven by our commitment to the local community. We rely on our local community to provide the people at the heart of our business. Without them we could not provide excellent and reliable service to our clients. Quer helps your business to run smoothly because of the community that supports and sustains us. So our approach to corporate responsibility is about more than one-off projects; it’s a way for us to give something back to the community that has put us where we are.

We are involved in various local projects, from the sponsorship of a community youth football side at Colts, through to supporting local and customer charity events. But it’s not just that. For Quer, supporting the local community isn’t only about sponsorship and financial backing, it’s also a path to help educate and influence those around us, so we also partner local council initiatives for training and education within the local community.

It’s because of our commitment to the community that we also aim to deliver our solutions in a sustainable way. Our people are our business, so the environment of our local community is also our future. And we want to help our community understand why it’s important to control our impact on the world around us. More than that, we are also focussed as an organisation on promoting this culture to our clients. Quer helps clients deliver real innovation in a sustainable way, so we want our local community and those clients to understand why it’s so important to all of us.

Quer’s commitment to sustainability is a way of thinking and doing things but since we operate in an industry where accreditation is vital, it’s also something that is driven by the certificates on our walls. Our ISO 140001 accreditation isn’t just a piece of paper – it’s demonstrable proof that Quer puts sustainability at the heart of everything we do, and provides us with a driver to keep it at the heart of our strategy for the future.

We achieve this vision through practical steps that have an immediate impact. We are constantly looking for innovative ways to drive down the carbon emissions of our own network of office as well as our usage of natural resources, whether through our purchasing strategies or our recycling policies. We also ensure that our clients use parts, spares and materials that are designed for the future and with sustainability firmly in mind. And we ensure that all Quer employees know why sustainability is so important through an ongoing programme of education and information.

At Quer community and sustainability are so much more than afterthoughts. They’re at the heart of everything we do.
