The quality commitment has been established to be consistent with the purpose and context of our organization. It provides a framework for the setting and review of objectives in addition to our commitment to satisfy applicable customers’, regulatory and legislative requirements as well as our commitment to continually improve our management system.
Customer focus: As an organization we have made a commitment to understand our current and future customers’ needs; meet their requirements and strive to exceed their expectations.
Leadership: Our Top Management have committed to creating and maintaining a working environment in which people become fully involved in achieving our objectives.
Engagement of people: As an organization we recognise that people are the essence of any good business and that their full involvement enables their abilities to be used for our benefit.
Process approach: As an organization we understand that a desired result is achieved more efficiently when activities and related resources are managed as a process or series of interconnected processes.
Improvement: We have committed to achieving continual improvement across all aspects of our quality management system; it is one of our main annual objectives.
Evidence-based decision making: As an organization we have committed to only making decisions relating to our IMS following an analysis of relevant data and information.
Relationship management: CAE recognises that an organization and the relationship it has with its external providers are interdependent and a mutually beneficial relationship enhances the ability of both to create value.
Information is a major asset that CAE has a responsibility and requirement to protect. The confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information is critical to the functioning, service delivery, and good governance of CAE. Failure to adequately secure information increases the risk of financial and reputational losses from which it may be difficult to CAE to recover.
CAE is committed to a robust implementation of information security systems and to ensure the appropriate confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our data, including data we process on behalf of our clients, suppliers and partners.
Information Security principles
Compliance
CAE is committed to establishing and maintaining policies and procedures that ensure compliance with relevant legislation, including but not necessarily limited to:
Incident Handling
if an employee or unauthorised user is aware of a security incident then they must report it to the Information Security Advisory Group via ISAG@caeuk.com
We are committed to reducing the impact of our operations on the environment, where possible. Which means cover all aspects of the company’s activities to ensure we constantly find a way to safeguard the environment in which we live.
Pollution Prevention: We actively work to prevent pollution by our facilities. Our goal is to divert 100% of our facility waste from the landfill.
This will be achieved by monitoring the sources of waste and their disposal. We then work to reduce the amount of waste produced wherever possible, for example; we choose reusable packaging and shipping material.
The products we resell are robust enough to last a long time often backuped with lifetime warranties. While an alternative product may be replaced several times over the life span, the longer life span of products greatly reduces their impacts on the environment.
Energy Efficiency: We are committed to responsible energy management throughout our organisation. This is materialised by reducing office energy consumption, having a vehicle fleet with a low energy rating, encouraging the employees to opt for electric car by making charger plugs available and finally, using low energy equipment.
Our Employees: We will be fostering the commitment of all management and staff towards improving the environmental performance of the organisation.
Continual Improvement: We will establish a benchmark based on historical data to assess progress regularly to work towards reduction of energy use and waste.
Local Communities: We will continue supporting causes pertinent to the communities by initiating, supporting and encouraging charitable and volunteering activities.
