IRC's Core Values and Behaviors, which underpin the Company's Win from within operating tenets, advocate social responsibility. We believe that being socially responsible is necessary to building trusting relationships with our constituents and to winning as a business enterprise.
We see philanthropy, in the forms of corporate giving and employee's volunteerism and environment health and safety practices as main components of our social responsibility. We invite you to learn more about how these activities are part of our business culture.

Health, Environmental and Safety is a key component of IRC's Core Values and Behaviors and we believe that to be a winning organization, we must be committed to helping our people end their work day at least as healthy and safe as they were when they started it.
We believe that we win as an organization when each of us conducts ourselves with complete integrity. Legal, ethical and safe behaviors build and maintain trusting, productive relationships with each other, and with our external stakeholders: IRC's customers, vendors and suppliers, and the communities in which we operate.
We believe that every IRC employee, contractor and visitor to our sites, as well as our neighbors, deserve our best efforts to ensure safe, accident-free environments.
In support of these beliefs, IRC will:
RESOURCES
Employ qualified, experienced professionals at all levels throughout our organization.
EDUCATE AND TRAIN
Train every employee and contractor at every site to understand and follow environmental and occupational health, safety and security procedures as they apply to their specific role.
CONTINUOUSLY IMPROVE
Continuously improve our performance in all areas and strive for operational excellence, which we believe implies accident-free, safe working conditions for all our employees and contractors and safe living environments for our neighbors.
COMPLY
Fully comply with all applicable rules, regulations, policies and procedures and operate our facilities in a transparent manner, such that the communities in which we are privileged to reside understand our operations and our commitment to their safety.
COMMUNICATE
Be open and honest in our communications among ourselves and our local communities.
