Our Social Responsibility
As a business with a great impact on our learners, partners, workforce and local communities, our corporate social responsibility is an essential part of our daily lives. We consistently review our CSR plans to ensure our employees, stakeholders, partners, and learners always benefit from the highest possible standards and values.
Our Community Champions come from all corners of our business and have deep routed passion for the various elements of the CSR framework. They work together to build and deliver a series of company-wide activities each year to educate, fundraise and incite positive change. Here are some highlights we strive to meet:
We established our very own Learning Curve Group Charity Foundation in 2019 which raises money for grass roots charities and organisations who may not get the national or global reach of larger charities. Our foundation has 3 core pillars – Alleviating Poverty, Decreasing Unemployment, and Increasing Skills. Our Community Champions develop creative ways to engage with colleagues to raise money for those who need a little extra help and support.
We benchmark ourselves against the best and work towards recognised workplace best practices. We are an Investors in People Gold Standard employer and have appeared on The Sunday Times’ Best Companies to Work for list since 2017, celebrating our commitment to fostering a positive and engaging workplace culture and ensuring our workforce's job satisfaction.
We hold the ‘Better Health at Work’ continuing excellence award, alongside company benefits which directly relate to improving physical and mental health. In 2022, we won the Best Purpose Driven People Community Award in the Investors in People Awards, celebrating businesses who have the best workplace cultures.
We do this by complying with all relevant environmental legislation ensuring, where possible, environmental considerations are considered in the procurement of goods and services. We also seek to make our resource consumption more efficient and prevent pollution.
An awareness among our employees of their ‘green’ footprint – communicating the importance of switching plugs off, only printing what is necessary and encouraging car sharing, among other things.
We have a detailed Code of Ethics Policy, which outlines how we expect our staff to conduct themselves.
