CSR Strategy
Long before CSR term became popular in Poland, we had been implementing its assumptions in practice. CSR history in MPS International began when the company started its business at the beginning of 90-ties. Formalisation of the CSR initiative happened in 2013.
MPS International landmark for implementing Corporate Social Responsibility policy is CSR Startegy for the period from 2014 to 2018 including CSR Programme (download here), CSR Procedure (download here) and Code of Ethics (download here).
