At Legal & General, we are striving to ensure that our suppliers act in a socially responsible manner and recognise the importance of their role in supporting the local communities in which they operate.
Community involvement policy
It is anticipated that the supplier will have a current company policy, which includes community involvement. A copy should be provided including the date of last revision if not included on the policy. We believe that a good statement of community involvement will reflect the commitment of time and resources to the local community in which the supplier operates.
Community involvement advice
We assume that the supplier will have appointed a designated manager or director who is responsible for community involvement within that company. It is anticipated that this individual will be a senior manager who has regular engagement with the Directors of the company.
Community involvement focus
We expect that the supplier will have objectives and targets for the management of Community Involvement within their company, with particular focus upon one or more key activities.
Release of employees on community affairs
Legal & General support the release of staff to work upon community initiatives including as acting as school governors and mentors. We expect that suppliers will recognise the social imperatives of the communities in which they operate and support similar schemes if possible.
Finance support
Legal & General sponsors fundraising by employees and manages a Give As You Earn scheme. We expect that a supplier will support similar schemes if possible.
