Northside's Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) company policy refers to our responsibility towards our environment. Our company’s existence is not alone; it’s part of a bigger system of people, other organisations and nature. The social responsibility of a business should always start with the safety and wellbeing of the people and the environment the business effects.
This policy applies to our company and its subsidiaries. It may also refer to suppliers and partners.
We strive to be a responsible business that meets the highest standards of ethics and professionalism.
Our company’s social responsibility falls into two categories: compliance and pro-activeness. Compliance refers to our company’s commitment to legality and willingness to observe community values. Pro-activeness is every initiative we take to promote human rights, help communities and protect our natural environment.
Northside Truck & Van LTD is dedicated to the wellbeing of our workforce. We have opened up a communication channel with our HR department for employees to seek help with any concerns that may impact their mental and physical health.

We can offer help with any kind of concern including (but not limited to) mental health, debt problems, personal issues & stress management.
