Corporate Social Responsibility

At envirovent, our approach to corporate social responsibility (CSR) is built around balancing sustainable business growth with community investment, and support for our people.

As one of the largest employers in the local area, with over 280 employees representing 22 nationalities, we are proud to be a diverse, inclusive, and equal‑opportunity employer. Our CSR initiatives are shaped by long‑term partnerships and a commitment to making a positive and measurable contribution to the communities in which we operate.

We believe strong local partnerships create lasting social value. Our community initiatives include:

• Annual charitable donations to local organisations, including St Michael’s Hospice and Friends of Harrogate Hospital.

• Main front‑of‑shirt sponsorship of Harrogate Town F.C., reinforcing our long‑term commitment to the town and its community. For every sponsored shirt purchased, a donation is made to a locally focused health and wellbeing charity.

• Ongoing partnerships with Beckwithshaw Cricket Club and the British Army’s Army Foundation College, supporting community engagement, development, and opportunity.

We recognise the importance of education and early career development in supporting long‑term social sustainability.

We actively:

• Offer work experience placements and insight days for students from local education providers.

• Engage with young people to provide exposure to careers in engineering, manufacturing, and business, helping to build future skills within the region.

Reducing environmental impact is central to how we design, manufacture, and operate:

• We work closely with accredited waste management partners to divert waste from landfill wherever possible.

• Our products manufactured here in Harrogate, including those supplied through public sector tenders, are designed with recyclability and longevity in mind.

• We promote ethical and responsible sourcing, partnering with suppliers that hold ISO 14001 environmental management certification.

• envirovent is a signatory to the BEAMA Climate Commitment, reinforcing our commitment to reducing carbon emissions across our operations.

• We are actively transitioning our energy supply towards fully renewable sources, supporting long‑term carbon reduction goals.

Our people are fundamental to our success. We are committed to:

• Maintaining a safe, inclusive, and supportive workplace.

• Promoting diversity and equal opportunity across all areas of the business.

• Investing in long‑term employment and skills development within the local economy.

What strengthens our corporate social responsibility initiatives is the connection between sustainability, local community support and our people and by building local partnerships and strengthen our relationships with organisations we create consistent opportunities for us to continue to grow.
