Social Responsibility
At the heart of PMI’s success is our commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). CSR has been an integral part of our business plan since we opened our doors in 1983 and a reason for our company’s long-term success. CSR guides our decisions at every point in the supply chain and is made up of several specific business practices:
- Corporate philanthropy
- Maintaining an ethical supply chain
- Ensuring the health and safety of workers
- Strengthening internal policies on labor rights
- Employee volunteer programs
- Professional development of all employees
- Factory continuous improvement programs
- Development of sustainable product
PMI approaches Corporate Social Responsibility with the same entrepreneurial spirit that we bring to all of our work. For us, CSR is challenging, exciting and rewarding, and we’re as innovative with our CSR projects as we are with our products.
We incorporate CSR into our operations in three ways: through our Community relations, through our commitment to Sustainability and through our Code of conduct. And as a CSR veteran, we willingly educate other companies about how it can be implemented while enhancing the bottom line. We know that “doing business right” is the right way to do business. Retailers and consumers can trust that the Stanley and Aladdin brands and PMI’s private label products are manufactured under the industry’s best practices.
In fact, in 2006 and 2008 PMI was granted the American Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai’s “Corporate Social Responsibility Award,” based on corporate governance, environmental effort, social impact and workplace practices.
