Buckinghamshire Business First Group receives Gold CSR Accreditation

The Buckinghamshire Business First group has been awarded Gold CSR Accreditation by CSRA. We are delighted to be recognised for our environmental policy, support for charities, and dedication towards our staff.

CSR Accreditation is a great way for organisations to be recognised for their work in supporting communities, charities, their own people, and more. There are three levels of accreditation: Bronze, Silver and Gold.

We are particularly proud to have been awarded the highest possible level of accreditation, something that reflects our commitment and drive to produce the best outcomes not just for businesses, but for people, communities, charities and the environment.

As a result of our accreditation, a tree has been planted in our name by CSRA Trees, an environmental initiative operated by The Green Earth Appeal, in partnership with CSRA, who design and run the CSR Accreditation scheme.

Some of the highlights from our application included:

  • The positive environmental impact of the grant funding we deliver, including a reduction of 186,968 tonnes of CO2
  • Promotion of, and support for, local charities and not-for-profits
  • Flexible working practices for our team
  • Helping local people train and up-skill, improving their work and learning opportunities
  • Donations to charity
  • Support for the Armed Forces Covenant

Buckinghamshire Business First wins International CSR Award

Buckinghamshire Business First has also been awarded a Gold International CSR Excellence Award.

We joined the likes of Warner Bros. Entertainment, British Gas, Morgan Sindall Property Services and Chandler Garvey in being honoured at a ceremony at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) in London in July 2019.
