Corporate Social Responsibility

The Intersection Between Society and The Bottom Line

We often hear it said that, "CSR costs money". But we don't think so. Good CSR pays for itself many times over. At AMC we help you to achieve stable, cost effective programs that actually pay for themselves. Whether it be internally focused policies that correct Health & Safety issues, reduction of total working hours and overtime hours, premium wage overtime, or other such internal issues, that your customers want to see improvement in, or, externally focused CSR such as community relations, environmental, and government issues.

Externally Focused CSR

Is it possible to generate initiatives within your company that are at the same time both good for your own company's bottom line as well as for society? The answer is definitely yes. For more on how an external CSR program contributes to a company's own sustainability please read our Creating Corporate Equity Through CSR.

Internally Focused CSR

If what you are looking for is more of a program that focuses on your own factory's internal CSR issues, AMC is a Certified Consultant for SA8000 and helps you to create a step-by-step improvement program that helps you achieve lower employee turnover, and at the same time increases your profitability. Its CSR backed by the power and methodology of lean manufacturing. We can go where other CSR programs can't go: improvement of productivity, decreasing of total working hours, decreasing employee turnover. Our 5S+Safety program is a combined program that provides not only a safer factory, but a more productive one.

It Doesn't Happen by Accident

Your brand and your company reputation are critical for your on-going survival. Outsourcing your production, or owning facilities in Asia that don't meet your corporate social responsibility standards is a risk that you don't want to take.

AMC has Certified CSR consultants on staff who can ensure that your local facility, either 3rd party or self-owned, has in place a definite, fixed, and regularly updated CSR improvement program.

For most factories, total working hours and overtime hours continue to be an issue that is difficult to control. AMC has in place a unique service that has a combined team work with your local management in both CSR and Lean areas.

Win-Win-Win

AMC creates a win-win-win (brand-factory-worker) strategy for your CSR program. Unfocused programs don't work, creating risk for the brand, and not benefiting the factory or the workers.

For most factories, total working hours and overtime hours continue to be an issue that is difficult to control. AMC has in place a unique service that has a combined team work with your local management in both CSR and Lean areas.

Health and Safety, and 5S+Safety are fundamental areas of control, and AMC has simple, cost effective programs to assist you. Beyond these core areas, our CSR Project Management supports you in establishing gap analysis and specific action plans to meet your objectives step-by-step. We supply both weekly and monthly focused customer reports to review actions taken and measures needed to meet your requirements.

Let Us Help

An effective CSR program need not increase costs. At AMC, we understand that your supervisors and HR staff are professionals in their own area of expertise. But they may not have the skills to co-ordinate an effective CSR improvement program. Let us help you create a step-by-step plan that covers Health & Safety issues, as well as the more complex problems of what to do about total working hours and total overtime hours.

CSR Program Management

At AMC we have a CSR Project Manager guide your factory management through all phases of the agreed improvement program. Our Project Manager guides your staff step-by-step, and provides both a weekly Task List Update of current project status, as well as a Monthly Customer Report which is a Senior Management level report that summarises project deliverables, status, meetings, days spent at your site, as well as suggests ways to remove roadblocks which are hindering progress.

Where to start?

Factories are under increasing pressure to meet their customers' social standards. But many times factories are worried that they must accomplish everything all at once. This leads to non-action. AMC eliminates the guesswork. After an initial visit, we create a Gap Analysis and a Corrective Action Plan that provides you with the information you will need to go forward.
