Generating long-lasting social value for the communities we work with
Creating social value is a core element of the way we work. It is a fundamental component of creating great places and leaving a lasting legacy long after projects finish.
We support our communities, helping them address issues and challenges and building more inclusive and thriving local economies. We use our resources to create positive impact and leverage the business's skills, expertise, and creativity to champion community-led local projects.
Community investment
We invest in communities. Since 2022, we have invested over £770,000 of financial (and equivalent) value to our charitable and community partners. We aim to create holistic value and, alongside the investment of funds, seek to provide expertise, materials and connections to upskill and champion community causes.
Our approach is collaborative. Working with our people, we empower them to volunteer thousands of hours each year for good causes and to feel proud of the impact they create. Our annual community fund allows our workforce to nominate local sports teams, community organisations and charities for support in the areas where they live.
Educational outreach
We recognise that young people are the future of our business and industry.
Attracting diverse talent is critical to addressing potential skills gaps and supporting our long-term business and industry resilience.
Working in partnership with our supply chain and network of like-minded businesses and commercial partners, we strive to inspire the next generation and educate, excite and inform a diverse audience of talent to promote our industry as a positive career choice.
We also offer a significant number of entry-level job opportunities to young people and engage over 2,000 learners every year, exposing them to an industry and potential careers that they may not otherwise experience.
