Social Responsibility

As an employee-owned organisation, our people and team’s well-being are at the forefront of our actions.

Via our employee committee, everyone has a stake, everyone has a say. Our people are valued and respected. We work with purpose and meaning – continuously learning and developing. We foster openness, diversity, equality and inclusivity.

Work-life balance is an important consideration, with flexible and remote working options available to our teams.

We engage locally through volunteering, sponsorship and charitable donations, with our employee committee empowered to identify areas and causes to address and support.

Our social responsibility principles

• Ensure the well-being of our employees including the fostering of inclusivity, diversity and equality in our workforce
• Engage locally to make a positive impact on our communities through volunteering and charitable donations
• Zero tolerance for modern slavery in our operations or those of our suppliers and customers
