Corporate Social Responsibility
Tate is aware of its contribution to society and that every business activity we undertake will have an impact on the community and environment. We are committed to conducting our business in an ethical and responsible manner, which is reflected in everything we do.
Environmental & sustainable trading
Tate is accredited to ISO Environmental Management System Certification ISO 14001:2004.
Our environmental impact as a service based organisation, with no manufacturing facilities and limited transportation requirements, is minimal. Tate is, however, committed to following best practices in the day-to-day conduct of its business including the use of sustainable and/or recyclable materials when available.
Health & Safety
Tate is committed to meeting all the requirements of relevant health and safety legislation. Formal policies are in place throughout the Group which are regularly reviewed and updated for changes in legislation and best practice.
Inclusion & Diversity
Tate actively encourages diversity in the workplace. In itself it has a wide and varied employee base with employees from a variety of social and ethnic groups at all levels of the business. In support of this, parts of the Group have been awarded the “JobcenterPlus positive about diversity” commendation and are active in ‘Local Employer Partnerships’.
Tate believes that by breaking down the barriers that traditionally have restricted access to the labour market it will encourage job opportunities for all. The Group works to support the communities in which it operates and to help its clients and suppliers achieve their diversity objectives. It is committed to provide all employees with a work environment free of discrimination related to sex, race, colour, religion, age, ethnic, or national origin, disability, or other inappropriate basis.
Applications for employment by disabled persons are always fully considered, bearing in mind the aptitudes of the candidate concerned. In the event of members of staff becoming disabled, every effort is made to ensure that their employment with the Group continues and that appropriate training is arranged. It is the policy of the Group that the training, career development and promotion of disabled persons should, as far as possible, be identical with that of other employees.
