Our Mission and Values

‘Our business’. A force for good.

We believe in the power of business to be a force for good in the world and our goal is to create a genuinely shared prosperity for all our stakeholders. That includes the interests of our workers, our community and our planet. This ambition runs deep within everything that we do. It's important to be able to show to this wider stakeholder group how we measure, check and manage our social and environmental impact which is why we are currently working towards becoming a certified B Corporation. Once we achieve certification, we will be sharing our score as well as our aspirations for impact improvement on this page.

Our people. Our lifeblood.

We know it's our people that make our business great and their understanding of how we are doing and what our plans are is an important part of our success. That's why we share, transparently, in our regular staff briefings and company announcements, all important information relating to the running of the business. We are also intent on advancing equality and diversity in everything we do, not just because we believe this to be ethically right and socially responsible but also because we believe it to contribute to the strength and continued growth of our business.
