Corporate responsibility

For Next, corporate responsibility means addressing key business-related social, ethical and environmental impacts and ensuring we run our business in a responsible way. We see corporate responsibility as a key element of how we conduct our business as we believe it makes good business sense.

The areas we have identified as having responsibilities are:

• Our Suppliers - we will work for positive social, ethical and environmental improvements in our supply chain
• Our Customers - we will work to ensure we meet or exceed our customers' expectations through the delivery of excellent products and service
• Our People - we will work to provide an environment where our employees are supported and respected, treated fairly and taken care of, listened to and are motivated to achieve their full potential
• Community - we will work to deliver value through our community contributions and support for charities and other organisations
• Environment - we will work to actively reduce the impacts of our business on the natural environment

Our Corporate Responsibility Report is written for a wide range of audiences who are interested in our performance on social, ethical and environmental issues.
