**Committed to making a difference**: We think that people are looking for something worthwhile in a company beyond the workplace. Our extensive Corporate Social Responsibility Program gives each member of staff two volunteering days a year in addition to holidays. It sees us reaching out into the local community with our mentoring, group volunteering, and fundraising initiatives as well as supporting international charities through our website sales, matching staff sponsorship fundraising, and carbon offsetting all our flights, amongst many other activities.
