“I am extremely proud to issue this Corporate Responsibility strategy on behalf of Lyreco in Wales, Ireland, Scotland and England; detailing our activities from past years and objectives for the future.

In devising our strategy we reviewed our areas of influence, taking account of strengths and weaknesses; stakeholder requirements; governmental targets; global trends and looked to our suppliers and customers to understand their approaches.

Our aim is simply to do the right things, daily. Our vision is to become the benchmark organisation in our industry for Corporate Responsibility with a real focus on 4 key areas:

Community, Marketplace, Workplace and Environment.

“Be proud of what we do” is a key element of our mission statement. I am proud of our growth and profitability; the people who work hard to make that happen; our record of development, training and safe working environment; the awards we have won; the integrity of our relationships with customers and suppliers; minimisation of our environmental impacts and the passion our people have to ensure we become a more sustainable business in the future.

I hope our strategy will provide you with insight into our organisation and demonstrate our commitment to improving our performance over future years”.

Dave Walmsley,
Managing Director
