Corporate social responsibility
Our focus on “putting something back” centres on supporting charities in the UK and abroad who make a real difference to peoples’ lives. We actively support WaterAid and RedR because they leverage, in a highly effective way, engineering expertise to make life-saving and life-changing interventions in the communities in which they work.
We also support community initiatives and charities closer to home, with all activity initiated and co-ordinated by our People and Society Group volunteers.
