Our commitment to social value runs through everything we do and as a socially responsible company, we embed a culture of positive impact in all that we do.
By connecting with the communities in which we work, we prioritise actions which will be valued the most by these communities, as well as by our team. We have put in place three objectives to guide our social value actions, ensuring that what we do has the greatest impact:
- We champion a fair right to education for all
- We foster inclusive, accessible communities
- We support improved health and wellbeing
Through a variety of activities, including the delivery of our project work, within our role as an employer, our internal initiatives and external partnerships, we focus on how we can make a difference through our actions. We are proud of the progress we have made together in 2023. Having had a busy year across the UK, we have created social value in many different ways. You can see some of our highlights below.
Activity highlights
As passionate supporters of equal rights to education, we strive to inspire future generations and are committed to providing better opportunities to those from disadvantaged backgrounds. Every year, we provide work experience placements for students aged 15 and above, and last year was no different, having supported 47 students over 86 weeks of work experience.
We also engaged with 29 schools and 15 universities, providing mentoring sessions, site visits, workshops, presentations and guest lectures. We also embrace an internal culture that values knowledge sharing, consistently supporting our colleagues with life-long learning, progression and collaboration and are proud to support routes to employment via different routes.
Our robust methodology which defines our approach and gives us an achievable and measurable way to deliver social value. We are delighted to share our journey towards positive change in our latest social value impact report highlighting our achievements in 2023 and the progress we have made in areas including: sustainability, diversity and inclusion, employee wellbeing, and within communities through our projects. We look forward to continuing to build upon our three objectives, through 2024.
