Our corporate conscience
As part of our corporate conscience, we are committed to reducing the impact we have on the environment through our day to day practices. We will promote environmentally responsible practices such as Teams meetings, remote working and sensible face to face meeting locations to reduce emissions from driving and improve the health and wellbeing of our colleagues.
In addition to reducing the impact we have on the environment, we are also committed to supporting the communities that our colleagues serve. We do this by giving colleagues paid volunteering leave and encouraging them to use this time to do something great in their local community. We have a nominated corporate charity that we support throughout the year, however, colleagues can choose good cause they wish to support with their volunteering leave.
