Airbus UK is to gather the views of its stakeholders as a prelude to drawing up a corporate responsibility programme.
The UK arm of the European aircraft manufacturer will convene focus groups and conduct interviews during the next four months with interested parties inside and outside the company. The work is being co-ordinated by the csrnetwork consultancy, which has worked with Airbus UK since July 2005 to help it decide what CSR initiatives to introduce.
Stakeholders' views will be sought when deciding policies and projects in eight priority areas already identified by the company - employee relations, local environment, products, supply chain management, health and safety, community engagement, business ethics and marketplace.
Each area will be overseen by a member of Airbus UK's senior management team. The company has also set up a corporate responsibility forum of senior managers, chaired by managing director Iain Gray, that will meet quarterly to oversee policy.
In the coming months Airbus UK will also develop a communications plan to inform its employees about what it will be doing. Initially this will involve 10,000 employees at its sites in Bristol and north Wales.
The company has no plans to publish a public corporate responsibility report as yet, but says it will use the Global Reporting Initiative's guidelines on sustainability reporting to define key social and environmental performance indicators.
Airbus UK is part of the Airbus company, owned by EADS, the world's second-largest aerospace and defence company.
