Social (ESG)

We seek out, develop and up skill our future colleagues from underrepresented groups. Our recruitment teams ensure our recruitment process is inclusive, and we participate in programmes, including local unemployment projects, NGO and government initiatives that support people into work.

Supporting individuals into work from disadvantaged or marginalised parts of society is a driving force within our HR and recruitment teams. Our foundations have placed hundreds of people into sustainable employment with a proxy social value well into the millions.

In our global facilities services business, diversity and inclusion are fundamental principles. Our commitment is to provide equal opportunities for all, regardless of cultural, religious, linguistic, or community backgrounds. Embracing this diversity is not just a matter of ethics; it’s a strategic advantage. 

By fostering an inclusive environment, we tap into a wide range of perspectives and talents, enhancing our competitiveness in the global market. Our approach ensures every employee can thrive, contributing to our customers and business success worldwide.

Upholding the principles of the Modern Slavery Act across our global operations spanning over 26 countries is not just our legal obligation but central to our approach and ethics. Ethical business practices and social responsibility are reflected in our rigorous efforts to eradicate all modern slavery within our extensive supply chains and operations. 

We recognise our legal and moral obligation to combat forced labour and human trafficking, ensuring compliance through transparent annual reporting and proactive measures. We won’t compromise in creating an ethical, responsible, and inclusive business environment, demonstrating our global leadership role and championing human rights and fair labour practices.
