Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Guidelines

CSR should be purposeful, accountable and grounded in genuine action rather than unsupported claims.

These guidelines establish a practical and proportionate approach to corporate social responsibility at JIL. They encourage responsible business conduct, thoughtful engagement with communities and the integration of relevant social and environmental considerations into business activities.

These guidelines apply to CSR initiatives proposed, funded, coordinated or delivered by JIL. They do not imply that any specific programme, donation, partnership or community outcome has been undertaken unless supporting records establish it.

• Respond to genuine needs and be appropriate to intended beneficiaries.
• Align with JIL’s values, capabilities and legitimate business responsibilities.
• Be proportionate to available resources and designed with sustainability in mind.
• Be approved through the company’s internal decision-making arrangements.
• Be documented sufficiently to show the activity, expenditure, intended purpose and results.
• Respect the dignity, privacy and rights of participants and beneficiaries.
• Avoid conflicts of interest, improper inducements and politically or commercially misleading claims.
• Be communicated accurately, without overstating reach, impact or long-term outcomes.

CSR proposals should state the intended purpose, target beneficiaries, proposed activities, estimated cost, responsible person and anticipated outputs. Management approval should be obtained before commitments are made. Records should be retained proportionately, including approvals, expenditure records, partner details, delivery evidence and outcome information where available.

Public statements about CSR initiatives must reflect activities actually undertaken and outcomes supported by evidence. Photographs, testimonials, personal stories and identifying details should only be used with appropriate permission and safeguards.

These guidelines will be reviewed at least annually to ensure that CSR activities remain relevant, responsible and aligned with JIL’s business priorities.

Management is responsible for ensuring that this document is communicated to relevant personnel and reviewed when necessary. Implementation should be proportionate to the nature and scale of JIL’s activities and consistent with applicable legal, contractual and site-specific requirements.

Read this document alongside the company’s relevant governance, risk management, procurement, health and safety, ethics, privacy and sustainability materials, as applicable.
