Doing Good
We believe that businesses can and should be a force for good in the world, and we're determined to play our part.
We've been a certified B Corp since 2022 and we're proud to be part of a movement that's making a difference.
Big news, we're a B Corp
We're thrilled to have been a B Corp since 2022 and be part of a network of other companies doing great things. We know that what we do as a business directly impacts our members — and their own sustainability levels — so it's massively important we get it right.
Beyond maintaining our B Corp status, our sustainability team continues their commitment to a more equitable and inclusive future. We're currently calculating our entire carbon footprint and we're constantly reviewing our supply chain.
We know there's always more work to be done (and we're very keen to crack on with it), but we're also happy to celebrate this win and our team's hard work to get this far.
Environment
The climate emergency is real, and we’re determined that our services and buildings should be as planet-friendly as possible. We’re working on a full strategy and goals to achieve this to be implemented in 2025, but in the meantime we’ve made some swift decisions to minimise our impact on the environment.
Energy and Waste
🌡 Smart thermostats and occupancy sensors installed to reduce energy usage
♻️ Comprehensive recycling program in all buildings
🥗 Food waste is composted
⚡️ 100% renewable electricity procured
New Buildings
🚚 All construction waste materials possible recycled during fit out
♲ Recycled materials preferenced in our fit outs
⚠️ Hazardous waste materials are responsibly disposed of
Site Services
🧼 Non-toxic cleaning products used
🚲 Bike storage increased in buildings to encourage cycling
🛑 Plastic use (especially single-use) decreased on site
Society
We believe we have a duty to our employees, customers and to wider society to run an inclusive company that positively contributes to local and global society. That’s why we’ve taken the following measures.
Supporting Local
📍 Preference to local and minority owned suppliers
🎗 All profits from on-site food and beverage sales donated to local charities
🎤 Free event and meeting space given to local charities and community groups
Inclusion
😀 Commitment to diversity, equality and inclusion in our recruitment process and training
🏳️🌈 Gender-neutral toilets implemented where possible
⚖️ Blind-hiring process deployed to reduce bias in the recruitment process
🚪 Dedicated free, reservable space at all sites for prayer and maternity needs
Being good employers
💰 All staff and contractors (including cleaners) are paid at the least a London Living Wage or Living Wage foundation wage if outside of London
🤲 Paid time off for volunteering for employees
🤗 Mental health days and support
🎁 A range of employee benefits and perks that go above and beyond
The Future
We know we’re only on the start of our journey to being the change we want to be in the world.
In 2025, we’ll be defining our full ESG strategy, which will go alongside our application to re-certify as a B Corp, a process that we will undertake every 3 years. This will include publicly available targets to ensure we’re held accountable to them by ourselves, our employees and our stakeholders.
