Social Responsibility
Our Social Values
At SBS, we are committed to making a positive social impact on the communities we are part of and that we work with.
As a business providing services to schools, we are proud that our work ultimately supports the outcomes of children. Our staff are passionate about providing support to our school customers which enables them to focus on the delivery of education, improving the lives of young people.
Communities
We build strong and meaningful relationships with our customers. Our staff regularly participate in events and activities that help promote the wellbeing of school staff and pupils to build a positive and happy environment.
Fundraising
Every year we nominate a chosen charity and participate in varied fundraising events throughout the year. Our staff get to know the values and mission of the chosen charity through our internal awareness raising. In the past we have supported Julia’s House, a Children’s Hospice and SHINE, a young adults cancer support charity. In 2021 we are proud to be working with The Honeypot Children’s Charity, which provides support to young carers.
We raise funds in a variety of ways such as coffee mornings, cake sales, tombolas, auctions, etc. In the future, we are looking forward to providing assistance with some practical activities, such as gardening and DIY.
Staff wellbeing
The physical and mental wellbeing of our staff is our priority and we support our colleagues in a variety of ways, including:
- Mental Health First Aiders
- Employee Assistance Programme
- Buddying
- Flexible working
We foster a supportive culture, reinforced through regular informal catch-ups, an open-door policy at all levels and a strong ethos of openness, positivity and honesty.
Care for the Environment
We have been proud to hold ISO 14001 for over 4 years. This ISO standard for Environmental Management, requires us to set, regularly review and achieve or exceed targets and objectives across many environmental aspects. Our ultimate business goal is to make decisions which are not detrimental to the environment and ultimately reduce our carbon footprint.
