Social Responsibility

" A book in the Bible, 1 Chronicles 29 talks about how wealth, honor, everything we have comes from God, and it all belongs to Him."

 

The Tameling Family Constitution states that one of our core family values is Stewardship.  We have been given the responsibility to pass on not only the material benefits, but also the values, ideals, and our passion to the next generation. Through our respective circles of influence, we want to leave an imprint through our business and personal lives that affect the world and others in a positive manner.  A key component of this is giving back to our community and finding ways to actively care for people.   We have established a philanthropy board whose mission is to select charities which we will sponsor.  This board meets twice annually to review the various groups we support.  Below are the Organizations with whom SET proudly partners.

Bridge Builders

 

 

 

In response to recent discord amongst our communities, SET has taken the bold step to simply listen before reacting or offering advice. Initiated by Joel Tameling, SET President, SET has established “Bridge Builders”.  SET Bridge Builders is a subgroup of employees focused on addressing topics of concern in their specific communities both personal and professional.  These groups include “Diversity Group”, “Women at Work” and Our Country’s Heroes “Veterans”.  All ages and seniority levels are welcome.

 

We are working together to create awareness, sensitivity, and willingness to listen to one another.  We believe that this starts with listening and then engaging employees to identify concerns and opportunities to become better.  We define better as treating others with respect, creating a forum for questions, discussions, and concerns to be shared, and building a culture that feels, acts, and performs in a way that reflects the underlying family values of SET.

 

SET recognizes that there are no easy answers or quick fixes to these issues. This is a small step in the right direction to open the lines of communication and address the issues and affect positive change in our industry and the lives of our employees.
