PART#3

Adapted from CAUX Round Table CSR Guide for
International Business
Principle 1 - RESPECT STAKEHOLDERS BEYOND
SHAREHOLDERS
A responsible business acknowledges its duty to contribute
value to society through the wealth and employment it creates
and the products and services it provides to consumers.
Our company will be benefiting the society through many ways
to ensure that we are providing as much as we can interests such
as friendly environment, create jobs and so on.
A responsible business maintains its economic health and
viability not just for shareholders, but also for other
stakeholders.
We will be taking a place in our responsibilities that to keep the
business sustains and more wealthy for all of our shareholders.
A responsible business respects the interests of, and acts with
honesty and fairness towards, its customers, employees,
suppliers, competitors, and the broader community.
We will ensure transparency and clarity for our business not
just for the interests but also with the acts toward everyone is
involve with our business.
Principle 2 – CONTRIBUTE TO ECONOMIC, SOCIAL AND
ENVIRONMENTAL DEVELOPMENT
A responsible business recognizes that business cannot
sustainably prosper in societies that are failing or lacking in
economic development.
We will always look to prosper in societies that allow us the
opportunity to grow because of their economic stability. We
will also be looking to prosper in societies of growing
economies.

A responsible business therefore contributes to the
economic, social and environmental development of the
communities in which it operates, in order to sustain its
essential ‘operating’ capital – financial, social, environmental,
and all forms of goodwill.
It is our obligation as a business to be involved with our
communities and help these communities with any hindering
difficulties they may be facing. Goodwill involvement is a
priority to us as a successful business.
A responsible business enhances society through effective and
prudent use of resources, free and fair competition, and
innovation in technology and business practices.
As a business, it is our duty to incorporate smart and
environmentally friendly resources that do not harm any
societies. We will also ensure that competition has the same
freenes and farines as we do as a business.
Principle 3 – BUILD TRUST BY GOING BEYOND THE
LETTER OF THE LAW
A responsible business recognizes that some business behaviors,
although legal, can nevertheless have adverse consequences for
stakeholders.
“Beating the system”, such as finding loopholes may be legal,
but it is an immoral way of conducting business and not in the
best interest of stakeholders.
A responsible business therefore adheres to the spirit and
intent behind the law, as well as the letter of the law, which
requires conduct that goes beyond minimum legal obligations.
We will follow what is morally right by abiding by the laws of

the land, and the morals which society follows and maintains
this includes paying taxes, conserving the environment and
much more. We will conduct business according to what society
expects from us.
A responsible business always operates with candor,
truthfulness, and transparency, and keeps its promises.
We will always disclose to the stakeholders what how our
business is conducted on a daily basis, and will notify them of
any new developments within the business. It is always in the
stakeholders, and our interest to disclose to them the truth.
Stakeholder involvement within our company is very important
to us.
Principle 4 –RESPECT RULES AND CONVENTIONS
A responsible business respects the local cultures and
traditions in the communities in which it operates, consistent
with fundamental principles of fairness and equality.
It is our duty to adapt to the local way of life and show respect.
Operating in a new country demands respect. The local
community is a new stakeholder to our business whenever we
expand to a new market and it is in our best interest to appease
stakeholders.
A responsible business, everywhere it operates, respects
all applicable national and international laws, regulations and
conventions, while trading fairly and competitively.
Breaking laws is not in the interest of our business. It only hurts
us as a company. It upsets stakeholders especially those in the
local community and can harm our company to the point of
bankruptcy or closure.
Principle 5 – SUPPORT RESPONSIBLE GLOBALISATION
A responsible business, as a participant in the global

marketplace, supports open and fair multilateral trade.
We prioritize global marketplace trade that is fair toward
multilateral trade. We are open to all multilateral trade and we
intend to always be fair in our trading activities in the global
marketplace.
A responsible business supports reform of domestic rules and
regulations where they unreasonably hinder global commerce.
We always put our domestic rules and regulations first, as we
abide by these rules and regulations when dealing with global
commerce. If other global laws differ from our domestic rules,
we must abide by the domestic rules.
Principle 6 – RESPECT THE ENVIRONMENT
A responsible business protects and, where possible, improves
the environment, and avoids wasteful use of resources.
Our priority is to ensure sustainability through environmental
and ecological business functions and processes. We believe
that all partner organization must make environmental
sustainability an integral part of their production and services.
We have done our due diligence to guarantee that our partners
are using the most up-to-date methods possible to reduce and
diminish the waste of water throughout all their practices.
A responsible business ensures that its operations comply with
best environmental management practices consistent with
meeting the needs of today without compromising the needs of
future generations.
Since we have ensured that all partners are following
environmental guidelines, environmental management is of
great focus so that can better protect our planet while
generating industry values for our suppliers, consumers while

maintaining an efficient bottom-line
Principle 7 – AVOID ILLICIT ACTIVITIES
A responsible business does not participate in, or condone,
corrupt practices, bribery, money laundering, or other illicit
activities.
We only disclose true and factual information for our suppliers,
consumers and partners and treat all involved with respect
which prevents corruption and illicit actions
A responsible business does not participate in or facilitate
transactions linked to or supporting terrorist activities, drug
trafficking or any other illicit activity.
Our relationships with consumers, suppliers and partners are
highly appreciate therefore trust is of top concern and any
activity which does not benefit those relationships are
abandoned without hesitation
A responsible business actively supports the reduction
and prevention of all such illegal and illicit activities.
We promise to always be honest and truthful regarding water
auctioning practices and answer all questions concerning any
illegal activities.
It is a part of our commitment to our partners that we
investigate any concerns regarding illicit activities ensuring the
