Corporate and Social Responsibility

The responsibility we have as a business doesn’t just stop at our customers and staff, we also believe in policies which recognise community and environmental best practice. In fact, this approach is at the very heart of everything we do.

With a traditional farming heritage, we’re no strangers to supporting agriculture, particularly through our close relationship with the National Farmers Union and rural causes, such as the Rural Stress Information and Farm Crisis Networks, and the Community Giving Fund, which we set up to support local charities.

However, we also know there is always more to be done, which is why we have appointed a dedicated Corporate Social Responsibility Manager to set an exemplary standard of socially responsible business practice right across our organisation. For example we’ve introduced enhanced recycling programmes to include a wider range of materials and intelligent development strategies, such as our use of natural ventilation and low energy light sources, allowing us to reduce our emissions wherever possible.
