Corporate Social Responsibility

At The Beech Consultancy, we do our best to operate in a way that is both compatible with our environment and good for the community.

We recognise our responsibility as a global citizen and we are continually striving to reduce the environmental impact of the work we do and create a positive impact on the community we operate in.

Our CSR Objectives

Our commitment focuses on 2 key objectives: -

• ‘Our environment’  - to have and promote a positive impact on the environment, and
• ‘Our community’ – to be in ‘win: win’ partnerships within the local community which will provide sustainable community based benefits

Our Environment

We believe that everything we do has an impact on our environment and as our environmental impact policy continues to take shape, these are a few of the things we are already undertaking: -

Waste Management

• We recycle all waste paper products on a weekly basis
• We continue to promote a ‘paperless’ office and encourage our employees to engage in the use of emails, both for internal and external communications
• Our emails contain a ‘strap line’ asking people to ‘think before they print’
• We aim to reduce our energy consumption by 10% over the next year through energy saving devices/practices
• We recycle all printer cartridges/waste toners 

Ethical Suppliers

We aim to use ethical suppliers to maximise our social impact, for example we use a childcare voucher scheme whereby the provider donates 5% of profits to charities relating to children and childcare

Environmental packaging/products

• We promote the reduction of our carbon footprint by allocating client work to local employees/associates, the use of teleconference facilities and car-sharing options
• We aim to source supplies from local companies to reduce our carbon footprint
• We use where possible recycled paper products or source printing requirements from printers that use sustainable resources

Our community

As an organisation that focuses on learning and self development, we believe we can have a great impact on our local community.

We recently conducted an online survey where we for each response we received, we agreed to donate 5 minutes of time to the community – from this we will be donating 20 days of time to St Mary’s College implementing an internal coaching academy.
