Social Value
We want our people to feel excited about their workplace, to get a buzz from working at makepositive and to feel they’re achieving great things. We believe that, in order to deliver this, we have to think about our broader place in society and a purpose that goes beyond the day job.
For this reason, we’re committed to delivering social value that encompasses environmental, social and governance criteria and is as ambitious and principled as our employees.
We want to foster pride in our workplace and be the employer of choice for the very best talent out there. We’re an organisation that’s constantly growing and welcoming new people, our potential for making a positive contribution to society grows with us.
For us, social value is a core part of our guiding set of values and business growth strategy.
Environment
We are committed to finding ways to systematically reduce our carbon footprint across our business. We are doing this by constantly reviewing our current practises and looking for ways we can improve. We have partnered with ecologi.com to plant trees and are making ongoing efforts to significantly reduce our waste.
Social
We have committed to a charities programme that supports our employees’ individual efforts and passions and solidifies our corporate commitment to giving back. Each year we choose a corporate charity that we support through fundraising initiatives (currently Demelza Children’s Hospice). We also offer all staff three volunteer days per year where they are able to give back to organisations and causes they are passionate about. makepositive is proud to be a part of Pledge 1%, a global movement that is creating a new normal where companies of all sizes integrate giving back into their culture and values. As our business grows, our commitment to giving grows with it.
Everyone is welcome at makepositive and we encourage people to be themselves because we believe a diverse workforce makes for a richer and more enjoyable environment as well as making business sense for us as we deliver customer experiences for everyone. This is why we have a number of initiatives in place to ensure our recruitment processes are non-biased and blind and that we are actively supporting women to senior roles.
Governance
We hold ourselves accountable to the highest standards of integrity in everything we do and through our open communication channels with our employees, clients, partners and investors we ensure that all makepositive colleagues perform their roles to the very highest standards and understand their essential role in adhering to best practice business practice.
