Community
CSR strives to encourage and earn the support of the communities in which we operate. Good community relations benefit both CSR and our fellow members of society by building relationships based on trust and mutual understanding of one another’s needs – helped by effective ways for quickly identifying and resolving concerns.

CSR Community Support Program is an initiative that provides an opportunity for all CSR employees to make a donation to a group of selected charities direct from their pre-tax pay. Donations are processed through the CSR payroll, which enables employees to receive a guaranteed tax deduction.

CSR’s guide to community relations
CSR has provided its operating sites with a Guide to Community Relations. The Guide supports the people at our sites in assessing their community relations priorities, including preparing and operating appropriate programs
Voluntary community service policy
CSR acknowledges the voluntary community service contribution of its employees in crisis situations and subsidises wages for employees who participate in emergency service groups. CSR seeks to ensure that employees are treated fairly when they volunteer for community service in crisis situations during normal working hours where such leave of absence is not covered by awards or legislation.
