Community
We will support the local communities in which we live and work through giving of our time and experience to organisations and causes that directly benefit people in need and or promote social inclusion and learning in general

Society
Through our policy of seeking local suppliers, and where possible British made goods, we will not only support Staffordshire Business, but will minimize transport and its negative effect on the atmosphere.

Environment
We aim to reduce the resources we consume in terms of energy, paper and fuel on a year-by-year basis and will always seek to introduce or use new technologies that will help us in this goal. Wherever possible we will choose energy sources from suppliers that promote production from renewable methods.
