compliance services for over 30 years, supporting clients across London and the
Southeast with our locally based engineers. Our team continues to grow, while
our high standards of delivery are always maintained. Our priority is fulfilling the
requirements of the major fire and electrical compliance contracts we’re
responsible for, to protect the safety of citizens, public sector workers and
local residents. Every day we work to exceed the
expectations of our local authority, housing association, blue lights services
and education customers. All our customers need us to
deliver compliant fire and electrical systems, but equally believe in us
because of our responsiveness, flexibility, problem-solving and friendliness. Local by Design We recruit our team
from the communities where we work. This local by design approach extends our
knowledge and insights into community culture, geography and challenges. This in turn enables
us to work efficiently but also improves our ability to negotiate entry into
people’s homes to complete essential works. Being local to the area, means our
team members also have the extra motivation to serve residents well. Our engineers in the
field are coordinated by our central service desk team, who have full oversight
of each engineer’s schedule. Restocking of vans takes place locally. This
equally increases the efficiency of our service and supports local economies in
the process. Working locally has
the further benefit of reducing road miles, cutting down the fuel we use and
supporting work-life balance. The well-being of our colleagues and helping to
achieve a zero carbon planet are things we care about and actively pursue at RGE
Services. We view both things as
core responsibilities of ours, however the wellbeing of our people and the
planet are equally critical to our success. We continuously expand our health
and safety, community and environment programmes to support our customers’ ESG
(environment, social, governance) objectives. Investing in People Our leadership team is enthusiastic about
investing in people who are motivated to learn and wants to expand the diversity
of our team to include more female engineers, while continuously reflecting the
communities where we work. We currently have a 50% BAME workforce. Overall, we have a high retention rate amongst
employees, with many of our senior leaders starting and building their careers
here, demonstrating to others they can do the same. Managing and measuring our responsibilities With the full commitment
of our board and support from our investors, we’re setting targets for our
environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance and regularly reporting
on our progress. Our core purpose as a
business is protecting people and property through fire and electrical
compliance. By necessity we’re a responsible business. Yet we’re committed to
going further, to maximise the positive impacts we have on our team and local
communities and to minimise our negative impacts on the environment. We have a local by
design approach to reduce road miles, a rapidly expanding apprenticeship
programme, diversity and inclusion initiatives, and have made a commitment to
hybrid and soon electric vehicles. These are just some examples of how we
manage our ESG performance. We have six themes for
organising and measuring what we do. These are: Environment Health, Safety and Wellbeing Marketplace Supply Chain Community Governance Taking action Our first assessment
against these six themes highlighted a set of actions should take to bring a
more structured approach to managing and measuring our ESG performance. The actions included: Increasing the governance of ESG in our
business A board member is now accountable for
driving ESG initiatives and progress Maintaining stakeholder engagement We have re-introduced our customer
surveys and introduced an annual employee survey Driving diversity and inclusion We have reviewed our recruitment policies
in line with best practice to encourage more diversity in our business Supporting employee wellbeing A new element to our employee wellbeing
strategy is giving our employees access to a free and anonymous external
