INTRODUCTION

The way in which companies relate to their employees and the communities in which they operate is assuming increasing importance for investors and other stakeholders.

These issues form part of the developing concept of corporate social responsibility under which corporations are assessed in terms of their broader impacts on society - and whether, looked at in this way, a company’s operations are likely to be sustainable over the long term.

Wesfarmers welcomes increased interest in an area that has always been fundamental to its way of doing business.
