What is corporate social responsibility? It is the way it helps to create a sustainable environment outside of the business. The plan of action should improve the lives of the local people and the area where they live. At NIIE, we recognize that the corporate social responsibility is extremely important for our long-term success. We combine the principles of sustainability into our operations. There are two core elements in our plan of action.
