2 months ago, I started work at a company as a director. The company was a small company but grown massively in the 10 years it has been open.
My role is to integrate new acquisitions and also to support the business in their reporting to board.
They have no form or corporate responsibility charter at all. Environmentally, I think they are quite poor too. But I come from a very environment conscious company, so that could be just me.
Anyway, it looks like I am now also director of corporate responsibility. They especially want to focus working and supporting the local community and improving our carbon footprint. The CEO seems to believe there will be some financial benefit to the carbon footprint reduction.
The local community piece is because mo one in the local area knows us. It's quite deprived, high unemployment. We struggle to find highly skilled engineers, as we are very specialist and the CEO wonders if working with schools would encourage young people to train in what we do. Though it is quite dangerous work, you can being training at college and getting the technical qualifications before training to work in the field. We work across the UK so the plan woild be to start working with schools in this area, the thee areas where we struggle to fine the people we need.
My question is......where the hell do I start with this?
CEO is quite aware I have no clue, but has every faith 'I will work it out'. Nice he has faith, but honestly i am baffled.
Does anyone have an experience of starting this kind of thing from scratch?
