Newbridge Chamber launched its pledge to make Newbridge a town with Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) on 27th March 2007 at Bank of Ireland, Newbridge. In an exciting new initiative, President Joe Fennell called on all businesses to participate in Team Newbridge to help spruce up the town now that Spring is here. Along with Newbridge Tidy Towns, the Chamber is calling on everyone to do their bit to clean up their premises, and recycle items no longer needed, as part of a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) project.  

Chamber committee member Michael Mullally outlined the rational behind CSR and explained “We at Newbridge Chamber want to commence a forum under the CSR banner. CSR is all about insuring that businesses of all sizes should be focused on the wider stakeholders that can directly impact and influence their business success. These wider stakeholders include not just their staff, customers, suppliers and shareholders, but also the community in which they are based and the public at large. We also want to create the awareness to make this happen. This will be a long term commitment by us until Newbridge and its environs can be actually branded a CSR community.”
