Future Generations +
As a responsible business we strive to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs.
Electricity and power storage will be at the forefront of the change towards cleaner transport, the deployment of alternative energies, and a general trend towards battery powered tools and machines.
Generators will remain at the core of the transformation of thermal, hydro and geothermal energy into Electricity, and Gusto Gen will seek responsible and innovative ways for maintaining these machines so that they work at their highest efficiency.
Purpose and Values +
We will always encourage moving from a do-less-harm approach to one where we are a genuine force for positive change, creating competitive advantages, meeting changing customer needs, and attracting, retaining and developing the best talent.
We will work in partnership with our customers to help run their generators safely at their highest efficiencies, working with and training their workforce to generate long-term synergies and cost savings.
Governance and Transparency +
We believe in the potential for business to be a force for good.
Our business focus is to conduct business ethically and develop long-term relationships with our customers and become their partners in the maintenance of their machines. All our cost structures will be transparent and we’ll strive to ensure fairness to our customers and partners in all circumstances and to seek economic sustainability for all parties.
Policy Engagement +
Societal problems are resolved better and faster through policy dialogue and multi-sector partnerships as they generate innovation, play to each partner’s strengths and enable scalability of solutions.
We will actively participate in industry forums and with our stakeholders to engage policy makers where there is scope to improve health, the environment or the community.
LEADERSHIP AT EVERY LEVEL
Stakeholder Collaboration +
We will seek to collaborate with customers, employees, suppliers and governments to co-create new solutions that generate commercial success, developing a better relationship and more trust between businesses and society.
Products & Services +
We will seek to provide products and services that deliver social and environmental value creating economic growth.
In our services we will always maintain and repair generators to the highest standards to ensure safety for people and energy efficiency for the environment. We will always seek to recover and repair generators that are repairable to good modern standards, as that not only saves our customer’s downtime and economic resources, but it also avoids unnecessary, partly hazardous waste, saving a tremendous amount of the embedded energy and materials required in the production of a new generator.
In our parts we will always provide OEM parts that ensure the machines will work safely and to their best performance, or where possible provide improved versions from similar or the same sources.
Supplier Chain & Human Rights +
All our products are sourced from responsible manufacturers in countries with a strong governance in relation to human rights. Forced labour, bonded labour, child labour, prison labour, or any form of modern slavery, is not accepted in any form in our supply chain.
Digital Transformation +
The digital transformation drives smart forms of economic growth on a finite planet, reduces poverty and inequalities, and improves lives. However they present us with the challenge of managing data security, privacy risks and responsible use of data. Gusto Gen will manage data responsibly and ensure all our correspondence with our customers is treated with utmost confidentiality.
HEALTHY COMMUNITIES
Health and Well being +
A healthier, happier and engaged workforce that drives sustainable performance and productivity benefiting employers, employees, customers and makes communities more resilient.
Gusto Gen promotes flexi-time and home working policies that facilitate a good work life balance.
Diversity & Inclusion +
Individuals’ career prospects and progression are independent of their personal characteristics, background and circumstances. Businesses benefit from a diverse workforce, and can access diverse markets and grow their talent pipeline. Gusto Gen is completely open to a diverse workforce and to work with customers of all backgrounds.
Education +
Businesses create the conditions for every person to achieve a successful and rewarding working life. People can transition into the jobs of the future. Businesses are more adaptable and resilient to market disruptions, they will find the skills and knowledge they need in a fast-changing marketplace and they will benefit from a more engaged workforce.
Gusto Gen shares information with its workforce and seeks to train each other on each persons field of expertise. Formal educational courses and CPD are considered on a case by case basis.
Good Work & Inclusive Growth +
Gusto Gen encourages a resilient society where employers and stakeholders work together to continually reduce inequalities. Businesses help achieve full employment by ensuring good jobs are accessible to all – increasing levels of pay and ensuring good terms and conditions for all employment. Businesses invest in skills at every level while making the most of loyal, skilled and fulfilled employees who come from different backgrounds.
HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT
Circular Economy & Resource Productivity +
Maintaining a generator to the highest standards, ensures it runs efficiency, and this in turn ensures natural capital is restored, preserved and enhanced. We work with our clients to identify solutions to reduce and manage the resources involved in a good maintenance program, more effectively.
We will always seek to recover and repair generators when we envisage they are repairable to good modern standards (which is in over 90% of cases), rather than condemn them. This not only saves our customer’s downtime and economic resources; It also avoids unnecessary and partly hazardous waste, and saves a tremendous amount of embedded energy and finite raw materials required in the production of new generators.
In our parts we will always provide OEM parts that ensure the machines will work safely and to their best performance, and where possible we will innovate and provide improved versions from similar or the same sources.
Net Zero Carbon +
Gusto Gen actively collaborates to limit the increase in global average temperature to less than 2°C.
Apart from helping our customers run their machines more efficiently,
At Gusto Gen offices we use 100% LED lighting, High efficiency Windows and High levels of insulation to save energy.
We recycle 80% of our waste.
50% of our vehicles are Gas powered to reduce mobility emissions.
We use skype or whats-app as much as possible to reduce the need of travel for meetings and technical support.
We seek to offset the carbon footprint of our flights when this is available.
Healthy Ecosystems +
Gusto Gen actively supports the Windsor Allotment and Gardens association, where it holds four lots growing fruit and vegetables, helping secure this rural area and wildlife habitat for the community.
