Working with local communities is an essential part of our work. Our business principles are based on delivering local services with local people. This approach makes us directly accountable to the communities in which we work – our teams are local people, concerned about local issues and community.
Increasingly, our clients need to provide more for less. Our teams support this by creating opportunity and solutions including creating local employment and developing skills, investing in local businesses and suppliers and investing in our network of offices, and creating safe places where people live, work and learn.
Our Corporate Responsibility (CR) Champions have been in place since 2012 and provide a link between our businesses and the community. Initiatives often involve residents, client staff and partners working closely with our employees, building genuine, long term partnerships supporting community projects.
