we have on our environment. Solution One, our partners, our
use of products and resources are carefully monitored to
ensure our services and processes are reducing our carbon
footprint.
Corporate
Social
Responsability
As part of our commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), our social value initiative is in place where we collaborate with employment agencies to recruit employees who have been out of employment for a significant period.
These exceptional individuals may have been out of employment for reasons which could include lack of opportunities, job loss/redundancies, imprisonment, impacted by mental health, or through other personal circumstances.
These individuals are hand picked and vetted by ourselves. We support our employees with re-entering into society and the workforce through offering employment. Our initiatives provide access to personalised training and mentorship during their time with the company and beyond. We aim to help improve personal skills and employability, with a view to improving long-term social outcomes, mental health and wellbeing.
