Consistent across each of these areas is a commitment to address social and economic disadvantage in those communities where our people live and work.
Our emphasis is about strategically engaging with communities through the involvement, commitment and enthusiasm of our people. We provide all our people with half a day of firm time to volunteer each month and this year 39% of our people contributed 41,200 hours to our communities through volunteering and our total community investment rose to £11.1million.
We offer our people the opportunity to assist communities and deliver long lasting outcomes through numerous programmes. We work with and through established organisations and not-for-profits to leverage the skills and experience of our people.
We believe these approaches represent a tangible expression of good corporate citizenship and of the philosophies and values that characterise our organisation.
