What is the Silver Dental CSR standard?

Your dentist is certified to the Silver level

This means they have already made a foundational commitment to Dental Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), and are now progressing to a higher standard across all Dental CSR areas to care for their people, their community and the environment.

They have met requirements to demonstrate that they are fair and transparent with their patients, particularly on pricing and how they handle feedback. They commit to the welfare of their teams in standards of communication, leadership, development, remuneration and wellbeing. They encourage flexible working patterns.

They are recycling what is possible in the practice, have eliminated single-use items outside the clinical area, and are making efforts to save energy and source electricity from renewable sources. They have a ‘green champion’ who is responsible for ensuring their environmental commitments are fulfilled and talked about through the website. They also try to reduce their carbon footprint in the ways staff travel to work.

They support local charities as well as dental ones in a strategic, long term way, and the business gives directly to these causes as well as encouraging team fundraising. They set a target to raise and communicate what they’re doing to patients.

They’ve applied for certification because they have strong values as a business, and are committed to making a positive difference.
