Corporate Social Responsibility

We are unreservedly committed to the provision of equality for all and valuing diversity across all the dimensions of difference. This is set out in our Equality and Diversity Policy Statement.

“The Company is committed to and unreservedly supports equal opportunities in employment. It is the Company's policy to assess individuals solely on their capability and suitability in relation to the work carried out. Equality of opportunity exists for all employees and job applicants regardless of their sex, sexual orientation, age, marital status, and race, ethnic origin, religion, disability, spent convictions, membership or non membership of Trade Unions.”

Under the Race Relations Act 1976 (as amended by the Race Relations (Amendment) Act 2000), we recognise the following general duties:

• To eliminate unlawful race discrimination
• To promote equality of opportunity
• To promote good relations between people of different racial groups

Office Projects staff take their CSR seriously. The company encourages staff to get involved in local community based work and the company supports local charities and children by sponsoring local rugby and football teams.
