Sustainability & Social Responsibility
Performance in People is committed to ‘green’ environmental initiatives, working towards a carbon neutral working environment.
As part of these green initiatives, we have installed solar panels at our offices, generating 17.5kWh in electricity, considerably reducing our energy consumption. We have a fully electric company car and free EV charging facilities for staff and clients
The technological development of our IT video and audio streaming facility have also had a significant impact on the reducing the previously required postal distribution of tens of thousands of DVD and video files.
Social Responsibility
We take our role as a community employer seriously and our desire to support local causes, by running regular charity events organised by our internal social committee. Charities are selected each quarter and are usually based on something close to our employees’ hearts. Past events include World Alzheimers day, Brew Monday, Jolly Jumper Day, Muddy Bull Run, Tough Mudder, Shoebox appeal and many more. We match fund any money raised by staff and encourage employees to take a paid day to volunteer with a local good cause.
