Corporate Social Responsibility
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) falls under the broad umbrella of sustainability. CSR is a commitment by businesses to act ethically, contribute to economic development, and improve the quality of life for their employees, local communities, and society as a whole. Many definitions emphasize the delivery of financial, environmental, and social benefits to a broad range of stakeholders, suggesting voluntary actions that go beyond legal requirements. There is significant overlap and interplay between ESG and CSR concepts. Blink Charging has elected to address both ESG and CSR concerns through the oversight of its Environmental, Social and Governance Committee and ESG Policy. All Blink employees undertake anti-bribery and corruption training during induction and through annual updates. Blink's General Counsel and Executive Vice President of Mergers & Acquisitions oversees Blink’s ABC program.
Although climate change and environmental concerns continue to receive significant attention, there has been a growing emphasis on addressing social issues, with a particular focus on the well-being of employees and the implementation of effective human capital management policies. We believe CSR is a critical aspect of our overall sustainability and ESG strategy.
Blink Charging’s executive management and ESG Committee are responsible for the oversight, monitoring, and regular reporting of the Company’s CSR metrics. The ESG and Nominating committee is responsible overall for Sustainability, including that of Occupational Health and Safety, cyber security and Anti-bribery & corruption (ABC) practices. The committee is chaired by an executive board member and reports directly to the Board.
