Taking Responsibility
We take our commitment to the wider community seriously and endeavour to demonstrate this in a variety of ways through our corporate social responsibility program including:
We support local business organisations by holding key volunteer positions and actively participating in the development of the organisation and its work.
The firm supports one volunteering day per annum by each member of staff.
We agree a charity to support firmwide and this is rotated on a regular basis.
We are currently supporting ‘Prevent Breast Cancer’ in memory of our dear friend and colleague Debbie Rennox (13 May 1980 - 24 August 2014). For information on the charity and its achievements please CLICK HERE.
We are also supporting 'Play for Progress' who are a Croydon-based charity that delivers therapeutic and educational music and arts-focused programmes for traumatised and socially-isolated unaccompanied minor refugees.
Fundraising efforts are co-ordinated by our elected staff action team (SAT) and include:
- Sponsored events, coffee mornings, dress down days, raffles and various other ad hoc activities.
- Donation in place of sending Christmas cards.
- Paper and plastic recycling
- Electronic document management system
- Emailing where possible
- A key factor when relocating our London office was energy efficiency.
- We aim to source recycled goods.
- Devices to assist in saving light and reducing water consumption
- Staff and partners are encouraged to use public transport and car journeys are shared if possible.
- We also encourage teleconferencing to reduce travel.
We are continually reviewing how we can improve on our efforts and staff are actively involved in suggesting ways in which we can make a positive difference to the community and the environment.
