Our CSR policy was formed by our Charity Project Team in 2021, made up of several employees across the business. The team listened to their colleagues to understand what is important to each of them and how as a business we could give back. Our chosen charities for 2021/ 2022 were Sheffield Mind and Sheffield Young Carers. We successfully raised £5,778 for the charities.
Our charity partner for 2023 is Sheffield Children's Hospital Charity.
In support of our CSR policy, the Elevation board also released a brand- Volunteer Program that provides over 400 free business hours for our employees to use in community volunteering projects. Each month the team are presented with various volunteering opportunities to take part in and use their allocated hours. The business feels this commitment is vital in giving back to the Yorkshire Region after spending the last 12 years building such a loyal customer base in the area.
