CSR at KSN
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is very much embedded in the culture of life at KSN. CSR underpins our business philosophy and our approach to promoting our core values. In recent years, KSN has committed to developing a structured approach to ensure that our CSR activity has a strategic impact on beneficiaries.
A dedicated KSN CSR committee was established to oversee our CSR initiatives and ensure two-way collaboration among groups such as staff charities, sports and social, and health and well-being. Our goal is to try to improve the communities in which we live and work, as well as to make our employees proud of the company for which they work. We want KSN to be known as a company that practices social responsibility.
In practice, this means promoting our employees’ health, well-being, and development through events and programs, providing volunteer opportunities, and selecting charities that benefit our communities. The amount raised for charity by employees is matched by the company and has steadily increased year after year.

We both participate in and sponsor a number of sporting events over the course of the year.

KSN staff and management generously contribute to nominated charities each year as part of our CSR initatives.

Our employees have access to an Employee Assistance Programme (EAP). This well-being programme assists employees with any concerns that may be impacting their work, health, mental, and emotional well-being.
Our well-being committee strives to ensure our initiatives are fun, inclusive, and varied and we commit to supporting charitable organisations as an important focus.
