Fighting climate change
We provide a mixed delivery model of both remote and onsite services, reducing the need to travel and potentially avoid increasing our carbon footprint.
We encourage our resources to consider alternative climate-friendly choices such as extending the life of clothes, cutting food waste and reducing consumption of meat, reducing overall energy use and opting for greener travel options where possible and practical, such as cycling. As there are many ways to fight climate change, we continuously encourage are staff and subcontractors to suggest new ways to help tackle the challenge, which we might adopt.Covid-19 recovery
Our onsite and remote delivery model means that the pandemic has had little impact on our ability to deliver services nationally and thereby mitigating the need for a COVID-19 recovery plan.
Nevertheless, we actively promote the take-up of the vaccine and booster programmes by our teams, ensuring resilience of our services in lieu of any subsequent COVID-19 variants and possible further spread of the virus.Tackling economic inequality
As the delivery of our services contain a significant remote service element, we are able to provide a nationally-dispersed resource base of staff and subcontractors.
This means that our supply chain is open to and sourced from all areas of the United Kingdom, facilitating opportunities across the country for our employees and subcontractors wherever they may be located, regardless of customer location.
This delivery model is essential for us to help tackle economic inequality and support the levelling-up initiative across the United Kingdom.Equal opportunity
In addition to complying with The Equality Act across the business, our equal opportunity policy starts at the top and is demonstrated by the appointment of both male and female Directors, both on the same pay and remuneration, with no discrimination against any particular group or characteristic.Wellbeing
Our Head Office is The Porter Building in Slough, Berkshire - the first building in the UK to achieve the WELL Core and Shell certification at Gold Level.
The WELL Building Standard is an international performance-based assessment methodology, grounded in medical research that is exclusively focused on human health and wellbeing in the built environment.
The Porter Building has been developed to maximise the wellbeing of our onsite staff, subcontractors and visitors, with abundant natural light, fresh air, specially filtrated drinking water, healthy eating options, indoor planting, noise reduction measures and a layout aimed at encouraging movement around the workplace.
