Corporate social responsibility

Balancing the many and varied expectations of stakeholders goes with the territory at organisations such as Mazars. For example, our employees expect openness and teamwork to play a central role in the company, while society expects us to be independent and behave with integrity – both in fact and appearance – and to avoid involvement with disreputable parties. For our clients, it goes without saying that we act and communicate in an expert, transparent and professional manner, while the neighbours expect us to refrain from causing any unnecessary nuisance. Last, but not least, social groups expect us to keep our ecological footprint to a minimum.

Balance

After all, our mission to create added economic value must not be at odds with maintaining social justice and a good environment in which to live. Only companies that can reconcile economic, social and environmental considerations will remain successful in the long term. Therefore, corporate social responsibility (CSR) is also about an enlightened self interest: investing in this area also has value for the company. According to researchers as well, businesses that have operated sustainably are the ones that have achieved above-average results during the financial crisis.

We believe in a bottom-up approach to CSR: we give our employees the freedom to turn their ideas about social development into reality. Our role as an organisation is to promote and facilitate an active involvement in society on the part of our employees. We are convinced that this approach from the inside out is the best way to give sustainability a concrete form and to embed it in our day-to-day business. Our international organisation’s values lie at the core of these efforts – the same values that form the basis for our actions: integrity, independence, global ambition, continuity and loyalty.
