SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Of our strongest, most consistent policies is to move beyond the global standard of corporate social responsibility, whereby we wish to integrate our social and environmental concerns into our business operations.
ACS believes that parameters of social responsibility should be embedded, where appropriate, into its policies and practices to the benefit of its staff as well as the wider social community. While we continue to strive towards our goal of social development, we can esteem a significant body of social work. Our future strategies are directed towards social work as much as is to business endeavors.
“I believe that honesty and fairness for all employees is the secret to our success,” Mr. Masood Akbani says of his aims in business, “All you need is a vision, and you work towards it with dedication — you set a target, and strive to achieve that target.” ACS, since its inception in 2004, has worked towards being recognized as an organization that is transparent in its motivations, and ethical in all its dealings, while making a positive contribution to the community in which it operates. “It’s better to wrap up your business and leave than to be unethical in your business dealings. We deliver what we show and talk. If we don’t have our morals, we don’t have anything.”
Our Strategies and Implementations for Corporate Responsibility :
Good Relations
We are always open and honest in communicating our policies, strategies, targets, performance, and governance to our stakeholders in our continual commitment to sustainable development.
Death Benefit — ACS is involved in a one-of-a-kind social service since its inauguration, with a vision that other multinational organizations would also hopefully endorse. ACS provides an after-death benefit, apart from death insurance money, to the family of the deceased for an indefinite period who completed one year continuous service at ACS. A total of 24 families of former local and foreign ACS employees, who passed away while they were at service, receive the gross withdrawn salary since their death.
Family Workplace
ACS constantly makes the necessary resources available to realize our corporate responsibilities, the responsible execution of which lies with all employees.
The Day Care Center — Women at ACS not only receive equal opportunity as men, but are provided the added benefit of a day care center. The day care center is the first of its kind in a manufacturing facility for women laborers. ACS prides itself of the healthy and conducive environment it creates for all of its 6000 employees.
Community Impact
In relation to community involvement, ACS initiates a charity project each year if a climactic disaster presents itself. The ACS staff would work together to raise funds, however possible, in the most feasible manner. In selecting either a charity for this support, or working with a charity in a team-building scenario, ACS will only support programs which are inclusive in nature, and reach across all demographics.
Free Schooling — ACS believes that education is the only way to reduce the expanse of poverty which upholds a nation from being established in the present world. With this core belief, ACS provides free schooling to the children of every employee within the 9 enrolled private schools and 1 of the Governmental High School located within the neighborhood. Around 900 children are getting educated under this facility starting from Play Group to 10th Grade. ACS is also committed to keeping close surveillances for potential students for providing even higher level studies up to any level.
Equal Opportunities
We have a strong committed workforce of 50% men and 50% women, and we believe in equality in the workplace. Whether part of our modern offices, or of the labor workforce, we have the best resources for all our employees where they are encouraged to communicate their desires, their fears, and their aspirations.All feedback is considered, revitalized and recorded as criteria for self-assessment. Whether it be complaints or compliments, we maintain an open dialogue.
Imagine our delight if you come to us with an idea of your own, and help us work towards that social goal. Whether it be in education, in medicine, or for disaster relief, we love the idea of consistent self-improvement and the betterment of our surroundings.
