ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS AND CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY
Currently, companies are increasingly aware of the need to incorporate the social, labor, environmental and human rights issues, as part of their business strategies. The Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a term that refers to the set of obligations and commitments, legal and ethic, national and international, derived from the impact of the activities carried out by the organizations, in the social, labor, environmental and human rights scope. Different institutions and organizations have developed initiatives to promote and encourage the socially responsible behavior of companies worldwide. Generally, all these initiatives or projects include a series of regulations or recommendations that, even though they are not compulsory, they do incorporate a commitment on behalf of the jurisdictions involved, to foster their performance in the corporate framework of their respective countries.
Little by little, an increasing number of companies are becoming aware of the fact that they can contribute to sustainable development, orienting their operations to favor economic growth and enhance their competitiveness assuring, at the same time, environmental protection and promoting social responsibility, while including their consumers' interests.
Additionally, recent trends have appeared for information that is being currently required from corporations (mainly from those that have gone public) to be transparent. This has prompted many of them to start elaborating and publishing reports on proceedings in labor, social and environmental fields carried out during the year. These reports are usually called Sustainability Reports.
ARG Translations works with these and other documents, including the following: environmental diagnoses, impact studies, soil, air and water contamination analyses, environmental management systems, environmental audits, environmental monitoring programs, as well as mitigation, compensation and contingency programs.
ARG Translations seeks to collaborate with companies and governments to raise awareness on these issues. ARG Translations is committed to donating 5% of its revenues from projects related to environmental protection and awareness to a non-profit organization that is involved in this task. At the end of each year the names of the beneficiary organizations will be published on our website.
