At Severn C Products we are committed to embedding social responsibility at the heart of our business. As a supplier of promotional items to schools, businesses, and charities, we recognise the importance of creating a positive impact on the communities we serve. Our Social Values Policy outlines our commitment to delivering social, environmental, and economic benefits through our work.

1. Donations to Schools and Charities

We believe in giving back to those in need. As part of our social value commitments, we will donate promotional products or essential equipment to a selected school or charity every year. These donations may include educational materials, sports equipment, or other resources that support learning and community well-being. By donating to schools and charities, we aim to enhance educational opportunities, support underfunded programmes, and make a tangible difference to those who benefit from our contributions.

2. Staff Volunteering

We actively encourage our staff to get involved in volunteering initiatives. Each employee is given two paid volunteering days per year, enabling them to contribute their time and skills to local schools, charities, and community organisations. Volunteering activities may include mentoring students, assisting with charity events, or participating in environmental clean-up projects. This not only benefits the community but also enriches our employees by fostering a sense of purpose and personal growth. Our goal is to collectively contribute at least 100 volunteer hours annually.

3. Local Partnerships

Building strong, meaningful relationships with local businesses, schools, and charities is central to our approach. We strive to partner with local suppliers wherever possible, supporting the local economy and reducing our carbon footprint. Additionally, we collaborate with community organisations to co-develop initiatives that address specific local needs, such as fundraising events, educational workshops, and awareness campaigns. Through these partnerships, we aim to deliver long-term social value that benefits both our business and the communities we serve.

4. Environmental Benefits

As part of our commitment to sustainability, we are dedicated to reducing our environmental impact. We prioritise the use of eco-friendly materials in our promotional items, including recycled, biodegradable and ethically sourced products. We work closely with suppliers who share our environmental values, ensuring that our supply chain is as sustainable as possible. Additionally, we aim to reduce waste by minimising packaging and promoting reusable products. 

We Have invested in green technologies including ground source heating for our building and solar panels with battery storage of our energy. Our environmental initiatives also extend to internal practices, such as reducing energy consumption, minimising waste in our offices, and encouraging recycling wherever possible.

5. Monitoring and Reporting

We will regularly review and report on the progress of our social value initiatives to ensure we meet our commitments. Our social values targets will be measured and shared with stakeholders to ensure transparency and accountability.

By implementing this Social Values Policy, we are committed to making a positive, lasting impact on society and the environment, aligned with our core values and business objectives.
