Corporate Social Responsibility

We are committed to being a socially responsible business and a trusted partner for our employees, partners and customers. Contributing to a healthier, inclusive and sustainable future is embedded in our purpose and everything we do. We are focused on the sustainability of our business, being a great employer and on making a positive contribution to the communities in which we operate.

Engaging with our community

We each have an opportunity to make a difference, so we empower our people to give back.

Our team strives to make a positive impact on the community by proactively engaging with a local charity, Blackfriars Settlement Positive Ageing, through a combination of volunteering services and donating goods and funds.

We also promote fundraising among our team by offering volunteer days and match funding to boost employees’ efforts.

Protecting the environment

We strive to conserve our natural resources and minimise the impact of our operations on the environment.

In addition to minimising printing and recycling materials wherever possible, we consciously make every effort to reduce our use of energy and water.

By maximising use of IT systems, we minimise travel related emissions, and further reduce carbon dioxide levels by purchasing and maintaining plants throughout the office.

Creating an inclusive workplace

We aim to make Polaris a safe, inclusive, diverse and rewarding place to work.

We value and harness the diversity of our employees, and are committed to creating a working environment where every individual is treated with courtesy, dignity and respect.

In addition to a suite of benefits, our team have access to a Training Framework and Development Zone to support their continued development.

Sourcing
responsibly

We make it our responsibility to operate in an ethical manner, which extends to our partnerships.

environmental and social responsibility.

We select suppliers without prejudice, treat them fairly and work with them to support improvements in their social, environmental and ethical practices.
