• Sioen & Ricky Richards – dedicated to social responsibility
As corporate social responsibility begins to take hold within the business world, at Ricky Richards, our aim is to ensure that this is not just another buzzword that we pay lip service too.

We have long been passionate supporters of various causes and are committed to giving back to the community especially through our support of Melanoma Australia and the Sydney Children’s Hospital (you can read more about our support here).

However, it is also becoming increasingly more important to look to partner with businesses whose own vision and social responsibility goals are aligned with your own. That is why we are excited to share our PVC supplier Sioen’s, new Corporate Social Responsibility announcement and website.

Partners with shared goals

Being a second-generation family business, Sioen, like Ricky Richards share the same family values and a strong sense of community. They are also an innovative and forward-thinking business – another quality we value in our close partners, helping us to fulfil our mission of providing the highest quality products to our customers.

Sioen and Ricky Richards also share a commitment and dedication to social responsibility too.

Even their slogan - Protection through Innovation – borne of a mission to make people’s lives better, strongly conveys their dedication to corporate social responsibility.

The causes supported by Sioen range across educational, health, diversity, anti-poverty, and of course sustainability and the environment.
