TORONTO, April 23, 2019 /CNW/ - Today, Morneau Shepell released its 2018 Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Report. The report focuses on company-wide performance in environmental, social and governance (ESG) initiatives, the key areas of corporate responsibility that intersect with Morneau Shepell's business.

Though this marks the company's first published CSR report, Morneau Shepell has had a longstanding commitment to responsible business conduct and supporting the well-being of its employees, communities and the environment. This milestone reflects Morneau Shepell's corporate values in the well-being marketplace and provides stakeholders with transparency and accountability.

"As a responsible corporate entity, the idea of well-being fully permeates our organization," said Stephen Liptrap, president and chief executive officer. "Our company is on a continual journey to strengthen the governance of our CSR initiatives and improve our operating practices. This report demonstrates that CSR is fundamental to our business and central to our brand values. It helps define Morneau Shepell's way of doing business, drives our strategy and sets the standard for our behaviour. While this journey is far from complete, we're proud of what we have achieved and how we are advancing our purpose of improving lives and improving business.
