This policy applies to GSS Piling Ltd and its subsidiary Geostructural Solutions Ltd (the “Company”), trading under the brands of Morrisroe Piling, GSS Piling and Geostructural Solutions, that are part of the Morrisroe Group of companies. GSS Piling Ltd (and its subsidiary Geostructural Solutions Ltd) as a part of the Morrisroe Group, applies principles of operating responsibly at every level of its business, for the benefit of all stakeholders, from its corporate governance, the products and materials procured, building methodology and the services delivered.
Our activities have an impact on the environment, our people, the communities in which we operate, our customers and supply chain, the people who occupy the buildings we construct and the broader society.
We are accountable for ensuring we minimise that impact by approaching our business aims responsibly and by responding to the different concerns and demands of our stakeholders, while remaining profitable and competitive.

In all aspects of our responsibilities, we work closely with our employees, clients, supply chain and subcontractors. We strive to balance short-term and long-term interests as well as integrate economic, environmental, and social considerations into our strategic decision-making. We are openminded in dialogue with those who are affected by our operations and communicate with our stakeholders in a timely and effective manner.
This statement provides the basis for managing our Corporate Social Responsibilities and forms the starting point for developing and implementing our policies and procedures in this area.
We recognise the need to be able to attract, recruit and retain employees with the potential, skills and experience necessary for the continued growth and development of our business. The commitments to our people are embodied, within the following:

Climate change is one of the key environmental challenges that society faces, and we are committed to regularly reviewing our business practices and performance to identify how we can reduce our requirements for energy, transport and water usage. We will also promote good practice in respect of recycling and waste minimisation. Where possible we will use alternative materials and methods to optimise the use of resources in collaboration with our clients and supply chain.
Innovation is essential for the development of our business and for creating vibrant sustainable solutions in the built environment. We aim to stimulate sustainable solutions that balance economic, environmental, and social issues.
