Corporate Social Responsibility

Our group corporate social responsibility strategy is based in ensuring that our employees, environment, and local community are supported and cared for. Responsible behaviour is at the heart of our business and drives our vision for the future.

These Goals have been created to bring companies, individuals, charities and governments together to solve the world’s most pressing social, economic and environmental issues and we are proud to announce our participation.

- Voltage optimisation to reduce energy consumption by circa 10%
- 3M window filming for bedrooms which has reduced solar gain by a guaranteed 71%
- Air course heat pumps for new bedrooms
