Corporate Social Responsibility Policy

In developing our strategy and setting out our policy for the first time we aim to deliver gradual but continuous improvements in our performance every year. As a result, our approach will continue to evolve over time, as we learn new things and utilise newer technology. To help define our policy we have divided it into four key areas:

Environmental Responsibility

We have a moral obligation to run our business in a way that has the lowest possible impact to our environment, and to continually develop new and improved initiatives. There are several ways we do this, firstly by reducing the pollution we create, lowering our consumption and minimising waste. Secondly, by increasing our reliance on renewable energy, using recycled materials, and focusing on sustainable resources. And, lastly by offsetting any remaining negative environmental impact through ongoing, long-term investments in greener projects.

Ethical Responsibility

We believe in being consistently fair, honest, and transparent in the way we engage with all our customers, suppliers, and employees. That we do not put profit above building long-term sustainable partnerships, or sourcing of goods and materials which are not ethically produced. Employee equality, job satisfaction, remuneration, working conditions and work-life balance are key to ensuring that we have employee, customer, and supplier satisfaction from working with our business.

Social Responsibility

We are deeply committed to supporting local community groups through financial donations, fundraising, and equipment donations. This support has enabled organisations to sustain their operations and extend help to others, fostering a ripple effect of positive change. Financial donations have been crucial for grassroots groups, helping cover essential expenses like utilities and buildings costs. In addition, our recycling initiatives promote sustainability – with donations of unused equipment and materials being offered to local groups who go on to re-use for the benefit of the local community.

By empowering one group, we have enabled a chain of impact, strengthening the community as a whole. These contributions, combined with ongoing collaboration, highlight our dedication to building a brighter future through shared growth and resilience.

Economic Responsibility

We are committed to maintaining high standards amongst our suppliers, this includes refusing to source goods and materials from Countries that do not protect human rights. We oppose the exploitation of workers, and we will not tolerate forced labour, or labour which involves physical, verbal, or psychological harassment, or intimidation of any kind. We will not accept human trafficking or the exploitation of children and young people in our business and undertake all reasonable and practical steps to ensure that these standards are maintained throughout our supply chain.

This is the first draft of our corporate social responsibility document and will be updated and enhanced over time as we continue to develop our strategy. (LAST UPDATE: 20.12.2021).
