When LaBella first embarked on the task of writing a corporate social responsibility report, many within the company asked, “How is this possible? Social responsibility is inherent in everything that we do.” Largely because of LaBella’s core values, social responsibility is indeed embedded in our internal practices, external relationships, and the very nature of our professional services. In the span of 45 years, LaBella has grown from a company of just a handful of employees to one of more than 1,800, with operations in 12 states and in Europe. In each stage of this growth, our corporate values have led to decisions that reflect social responsibility.
This report outlines our responsibilities, actions, and goals in four key areas: People, Participation, Protection, and Principles. We explain our respect for our employees, aiming to build an engaged and energetic workforce (People). We describe our dedication to the communities where we operate, helping to create thriving communities (Participation). We highlight our commitment to addressing global climate issues through our expertise (Protection). Finally, we discuss our governance practices and ethics, which are essential to establishing meaningful relationships with our partners (Principles).
