We believe that companies that prosper economically are also companies that operate responsibly. Sustainable, long-term success for a company must be based on the highest integrity in business relationships, on best practice in understanding and managing impacts on the environment and society and on ensuring a consistency of approach by our service providers and contractors.

At BG Group we use the term Corporate Responsibility to sum up our approach. For us, Corporate Responsibility (CR) is at the heart of our business. We believe that we can achieve good returns for the business at the same time as working in accordance with our Business Principles. These express our core values and behaviours. These principles guide the way the Group and its employees conduct business. The Business Principles are supported by two documents:

• The Corporate Commitments describe how the Group will deliver the Business Principles

• Principles into Practice helps employees interpret and implement the Business Principles in their business lives

World class business performance and compliance with our Business Principles are complementary: there is no trade-off. Complying with our Business Principles is fundamental to BG Group’s success because how we do business is as important for our reputation as what we do.  If you think that we have fallen short of our standards, please refer to our Speak Up policy.
