CSR & Environmental Initiatives
HANDS ON PAYROLL GIVING: CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY & ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY
At HOPG we're not just about business as usual, we're about making real, positive changes in our communities and the wider world. Even as a small business we want to lead the way in social responsibility and environmental stewardship, ensuring that our operations not only benefit our partners but also contribute to a sustainable future.
Here's a snapshot of our initiatives, all underpinned by our commitment to our core values of integrity, honesty, and professionalism.
Payroll Giving Matching
At the heart of our efforts is Payroll Giving. We believe in leading by example and are committed to enhancing the impact of Payroll Giving contributions through our Matching Scheme. By matching every donation made by our employees up to £50 each month, we're not only doubling the potential support for invaluable charity and community initiatives but also reinforcing our commitment to fostering positive change across every UK workplace.
Empowering Through Volunteering
Understanding the power of volunteering, HOPG champions employee engagement in community and charitable work. Our policy supports staff who wish to make a difference, offering paid volunteering time. This not only supports our communities but also provides our team with invaluable leadership, project management skills, and a better work-life balance.
Giving Blood: A Lifesaving Commitment
Recognising the critical importance of blood donations, HOPG encourages employees to participate in this life-saving act. We offer paid leave for blood donation, underlining our dedication to the health and well-being of our community and supporting the vital services that keep us all safe.
Innovation and Sustainability at Our Core
Our journey towards becoming a paperless office by 2025 is well underway, with a remarkable 97% reduction in paper use achieved through digitalisation. Our commitment to energy efficiency and reducing greenhouse gas emissions targeting a halving of emissions by 2030. We're also striving for zero waste to landfill, embracing recycling and sustainability in all we do.
A Culture of Equality and Opportunity
At HOPG, equality and opportunity aren't just words; they're the principles that guide us. We ensure a discrimination-free workplace, fostering a culture of diversity and inclusion. This extends to our criteria for selecting suppliers and partners, ensuring they align with our values of sustainability and ethical practices.
