A big part of making Robert Heath Heating great place to work is acknowledging our responsibilities to our employees, our community and the environment. We have divided our CSR policy into three core commitments.
- We believe that for our employees the company should be a positive, inclusive
and safe place to work. - We want to be engaged with our community, using our time and resources to improve other peoples lives.
- We recognise that we can significantly reduce the impact our business activities have on the environment.
Our Employees:
- Equal opportunities and diversity; we are commited to ensuring equal opportunities and promoting diversity both within Robert Heath Heating and in the work we undertake on behalf of our clients.
- Training and Development; The ongoing development of our employees is vital to our success and the investments we have made in the last few years will continue.
- Motivation; While we take our work seriously, we want the company to be an enjoyable place to work and firmly believe that this is a key contributor to keeping our people motivated.
- Health and Safety; we operate a comprehensive Health and Safety policy and work to ensure a safe environment for our employees and visitors.
Community:
- Charitable giving: Each year we support individual charities through the proceeds of raffles and competitions as well as by donating directly to charities.
- Charitable events: We support a number of annual charitable events including the Macmillan Cancer Support Run.
- Supportin
g employee initiatives: We operate a payroll giving scheme allowing our employees to support their chosen charities that benefit from the tax relief immediately.

Environment
- Compliance with legislation: As part of our policy we ensure that we comply with legislation and are particularly conscious of the disposal of potentially harmful waste. We select our suppliers based on their ability to provide a green and ethical supply chain.
