We’re a responsible corporate citizen

We believe in corporate responsibility and encourage all our employees to get involved, whether that means raising money for charities, volunteering or enhancing our contribution to the environment, for example.

Here within the EVO Group of Companies, Corporate Responsibility is an integral part of our values

Charity fundraising

Our staff have raised thousands of pounds for the corporate charity we adopt annually and other good causes since our group of companies was formed in 2014. Their activities have included a garden party celebrating Royal Ascot’s Ladies Day, a table football tournament, baking sales, a Christmas raffle, and even being strapped to the wing of a plane flying at up to 150mph! Organisations to benefit have included Yorkshire’s Air Ambulance service, Cancer Research UK and a charity that helps families of police officers killed on duty.

Volunteering

All our employees are entitled to devote one working day a year to supporting a volunteering project they choose. They’ve used this policy to assist at major garden clearance and painting projects, help at a charity sports day and pack goody bags for events, among other activities.

The environment

Our corporate responsibility strategy is underpinned by our commitment to the environment. Our aim is to continually reduce the impact we have on the environment in (i) the work place; (ii) the market place; and (iii) in our community.

Our trading companies currently:

  • Work closely with their suppliers and customers to source products that meet high environmental standards
  • Are implementing our carbon emissions reduction plan
  • Use Cardboard shipping boxes for all orders, fully recyclable and made from 100% recycled paper
  • Recycle waste
  • Are actively seeking out better packaging solutions
  • Are reducing their use of single use plastics
  • Use 100% recycled printer paper
  • Are members of the Distributor Electrical Take Back Scheme
  • Recycle printer inks, electrical items and consumables
  • Donate any unwanted furniture and stock to charities
  • Are FSC and ISO 14001 accredited

We are continually looking for ways to improve our environmental credentials and this is one of the key focus areas for our Corporate Responsibility Action Team.
