CARDINAL CSR

At Cardinal Engineering we strive to always follow our company’s “core values,” quality and ethics. Our philosophy, “committed to the community, our employees, and the future” is a key part of our corporate ethos. To follow through on that commitment, we have implemented a new program designated as Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) as one of our goals for 2007.

CSR is how companies manage the business processes to produce an overall positive impact on their community in which they live and work. In 2006, Cardinal allocated over $18,000 to various community organizations, philanthropies and sponsorships. We will continue to support the community in that way, but we are stepping our commitment up to another level. We believe by supporting the organizations that our employees are actively involved in, will give our company the opportunity to develop additional social contribution activities in our community.

PROMOTING SOCIAL CONTRIBUTION

To ensure that our efforts are being well represented, Cardinal has appointed three representatives from each department, (Environmental, Civil, and Surveying) as CSR coordinators. Together with Liz McNeill as CSR chairman, they will work together with individual employees and the community to actively promote social contribution through the allocation of over $10,000 in funds for 2007.

Here is how it works:

1. Download the CSR Requst form.
    
2. Submit completed form with request to:
   Ms.  Liz McNeill
    
3. Committee will meet on the last Friday of the month to approve requests.

Our only requirement is that an employee is actively involved in the organization that the money is being requested for.
