Corporate social responsibility
PSN has pioneered the promotion of corporate social responsibility (CSR) as part of our localisation core value. Improving sustainability makes us attractive to employees, customers, suppliers and to the communities where we work.
Our safety record protects the reputation of our clients, which brings in business, and protects the wellbeing of our employees, which helps us keep the best, and on the strength of their expertise, do a better job. Investing in local communities makes us better at doing all these things.
By investing in people and communities throughout the world, last year we added more than 2,500 new people to our global network, over $500 million to our order book, and have work secured to 2013
PSN's seven Core Values are our DNA because they define who we are. They drive and regulate our behaviour. The expression of our values is particularly important in the three key areas of corporate social responsibility:

Industry recognition
We are very proud that our CSR efforts were recognised at the 2008 Scottish Offshore Achievement Awards where PSN won the Sustainable Development category, which was sponsored by Shell.
In September 2007, PSN won the Project Scotland Corporate Social Responsibility Award, sponsored by Orange. Kate Mavor of Project Scotland said:
“What we liked about PSN was that the projects were aligned to their customers in different parts of the world. Employees local to the area were consulted about what matters to their communities.”
