Corporate Social ResponsibilityConnecting people. Inspiring futures. Making a difference.
At Clarence Recruitment, we believe that connecting people and inspiring futures means taking responsibility for the impact we have on the world around us.
Making a Positive Difference
Our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programme is built around four pillars. These reflect our commitment to supporting individuals, contributing positively to our communities, reducing our environmental impact and operating ethically and responsibly. As a small business, we recognise that meaningful change starts with everyday actions. Through our working practices, partnerships and business decisions, we aim to make a positive difference, act with integrity and build a more sustainable future. Our commitments are embedded in how we work, the relationships we build and the opportunities we help create, bringing our promise to life:
Connecting people. Inspiring futures. Making a difference.
People are at the heart of everything we do. We believe that everyone deserves to be treated with fairness, dignity and respect, and that access to meaningful employment, learning and development opportunities can make a lasting difference to individuals and communities.
As a small team supporting a wider pool of candidates, we are committed to creating a positive, inclusive and supportive experience for our employees, candidates and business partners.
Our commitment to our people includes:
Champion fairness and inclusion – promote equal opportunities and treat everyone with dignity and respect.
Support wellbeing – foster a positive, supportive and flexible working environment.
Develop future talent – support learning, skills development and progression through our apprenticeship partnership and CPD accredited training partner.
Put candidates first – provide a fair, respectful and responsible recruitment experience.
Communities
We believe that connecting people and inspiring futures extends beyond the workplace. We are committed to playing a positive role in the communities we serve, supporting initiatives that improve people’s lives, create opportunities and contribute to long-term wellbeing.
Through our support for local charitable initiatives and our Clarence Kids programme, we aim to make a meaningful difference, particularly to young people who may benefit from additional support.
Our commitment to our community includes:
Support local causes – contribute to charitable initiatives that make a positive difference in our communities. This year we are supporting two local organisations: The Centre Project in Leicester and Beacon Hockey Club in the West Midlands.
Invest in young people’s wellbeing – fund access to counselling support through our Clarence Kids programme.
Create opportunities – champion employability, skills development and access to meaningful work.
Make a meaningful impact – focus our community support on initiatives that align with our values and deliver tangible benefits.
Environment
We recognise our responsibility to minimise our environmental impact and make more sustainable choices wherever practical. As a small business, we aim to take a proportionate approach to environmental responsibility, focusing on the everyday decisions and working practices that can make a positive difference.
Our hybrid working model and choice of shared workspace reflect our commitment to working efficiently, using resources responsibly and considering the environmental impact of how we operate.
Our commitment to our environment includes:
Work more sustainably – use our hybrid working model to help reduce unnecessary commuting.
Choose responsible workspaces – use a shared co-working space operated by a certified B Corporation.
Reduce waste and resource use – prioritise digital processes, minimise printing and recycle where possible.
Reduce our carbon footprint – measure our environmental impact and identify practical opportunities for improvement.
Responsible Business
We believe that responsible business means acting with integrity, treating people fairly and making considered decisions about how we operate. We are committed to maintaining high ethical standards, complying with relevant legislation and building trusted relationships with our candidates, clients, employees and suppliers.
As a small business, we recognise that responsible practices are reflected in our everyday decisions, from how we protect information and manage compliance to the organisations we choose to work with.
Our commitment to being a responsible business includes:
Act with integrity – conduct our business honestly, ethically and transparently.
