Food companies can significantly contribute to the health of local communities by being responsible and offering healthy food options. Meal delivery companies should hold themselves to a higher standard and ensure all aspects of client engagement and service empower and support clients. According to BMC Public Health, “[T]he food industry has implemented Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives related to nutrition and physical activity to emphasize their concern for consumers.” LifeSpring Home Nutrition takes corporate responsibility seriously and has policies and procedures in place to ensure services and products meet high standards.
CSR is an umbrella term describing how a company addresses environmental, social, and corporate issues. Food delivery services and food companies have a responsibility to contribute positively to population health. According to the American Journal of Public Health, “[P]opulation health involves collective action to promote and protect the health of the population and the food industry can play a major role in promoting healthy nutrition.” LifeSpring Home Nutrition considers how every aspect of meal preparation and delivery impacts population health.
Corporate responsibility involves actively addressing any issues related to the following:
Corporate responsibility is something company owners, managers, and employees must work together to accomplish. Owners and managers set the expectations for employees and clients by creating and upholding company values and mission statements. Policies and procedures are developed to ensure employees have the information they need to follow company values and act responsibly.
Corporate responsibility covers a wide range of areas, from sustainability to ethical governance. LifeSpring Home Nutrition considers how corporate decisions may impact the local community and individuals. Below are four critical aspects of corporate social responsibility.
Corporate sustainability is an essential aspect of social responsibility. According to Springer Nature, “[T]he theme of corporate sustainability can be approached from the social, environmental and economic perspectives; which, in turn, unfold into the most diverse categories, such as environment, management and business, ethics, finance, economics, engineering, among others.” LifeSpring Home Nutrition considers sustainability when creating new processes and products to reduce any strain on the environment and local communities.
Some of the ways LifeSpring Home Nutrition practices sustainability include reducing food and packaging waste by delivering frozen meals in insulated envelopes instead of using fresh foods or bulky boxes. The company protects the environment by reducing waste and making healthy meals more convenient.
Acting ethically should be the standard for all companies. LifeSpring Home Nutrition promotes ethical governance by doing the following:
Transparency and trust are essential to ensuring companies succeed at ethical governance. LifeSpring Home Nutrition uses ethical governance to reduce food insecurity in vulnerable populations. According to the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, “High food insecurity has been associated with key health outcomes such . . . mental health conditions, subsequent weight gain, poor sleep outcomes, chronic disease and suicide ideation.” Ethical governance can help significantly reduce these health risks by creating a healthier and more supportive environment for individuals in the community.
LifeSpring Home Nutrition understands the trust clients give by choosing to receive services. Client information is kept strictly secure and compliant with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). Meal delivery labels do not include identifying information that may compromise client confidentiality.
According to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), HIPAA-protected information includes:
- “Information your doctors, nurses, and other health care providers put in your medical record
- Conversations your doctor has about your care or treatment with nurses and others
- Information about you in your health insurer’s computer system
- Billing information about you at your clinic
- Most other health information about you held by those who must follow these laws”
LifeSpring Home Nutrition uses secure communication methods and record-keeping to ensure client information remains safe and confidential.
LifeSpring Home Nutrition monitors the quality of meals through every step of the process, from meal planning and packing to delivery. Each stage is an opportunity to exceed client expectations and provide a greater service to the community. Multiple quality control checkers ensure meal creation, packing, and delivery follow health and safety guidelines. The policies followed by every staff member guarantee food safety and client satisfaction. Ethical collaboration with other companies also improves the quality of each meal and ensures clients experience the most health benefits.
