Corporate Social Responsibility
We believe it is important to give back and to be actively involved in our community. Our people are passionate about helping others, whether through support and involvement with various charities or through volunteering. Not only does this make us a good neighbour but our staff are more fulfilled, engaged and happier people knowing that they are positively contributing to their community – with the full support of the business.
Our nominated charity for 2025 is Camphill School Aberdeen. Established over 80 years ago, Camphill School Aberdeen is a local charity supporting children and young people - many with additional support needs - to reach their fullest potential. Over the course of the year, we shall be carrying out various fundraising activities in support of the charity together with providing volunteers to assist with various tasks on the Campus.
