Community Social Responsibility at Scrutton Bland

Through our Scrutton Bland Foundation CIC we are committed to being a responsible employer and we strive to ensure we are doing the right thing by the communities in which we live and work.

Our Foundation is dedicated to raising money and giving our time to good causes. We actively promote staff development and wellbeing. And we take every opportunity possible to make our business environmentally and economically sustainable.

Our Values

Our values underpin everything we do at Scrutton Bland. They reflect our work as a modern and forward thinking business, built on the historic strength and foundation of a partnership.

We are committed to:

  • Exceptional client service as set out in our Client Care Charter
  • Transparency, Trust and Integrity in everything we do: the founding principles of our partnership business
  • Always providing clear advice and effective solutions, based our innovation and how we apply technology and our intellectual property

Supporting our people

Scrutton Bland recognises that our people are our greatest asset and an essential part of our success and continued growth. We are therefore committed to providing a working environment where people can thrive and where individual career paths are supported. We provide training and support and numerous employee benefits such as flexible working.

We want to attract and retain talented people and do this by offering apprenticeships, school leaver programmes and summer internships and actively encourage professional and personal development in order for every one of us to achieve full potential. We encourage creativity and open discussion amongst all of our people in order to help us to continually  develop as a business and ensure that our work is having a positive impact on all our people, the local community and environment.

Caring about our community

As a business and group of individuals who live and work locally, we enjoy supporting local charities and regularly take part in fundraising and volunteering for local causes. We donate to a variety of charitable causes and engage in numerous fundraising and volunteering activities. We have established a salary based charitable giving scheme where staff can donate on a monthly basis directly from their salaries and the total amount is then matched by our Partners before being donated to local charities.

As a firm of professional advisers, we use our expertise to provide pro bono advice to local charities, not-for-profit and educational organisations  within the local community. In addition, the Scrutton Bland Knowledge Academy offers education and information to our existing clients and the wider business community.

Striving for sustainability

Scrutton Bland is strongly committed to developing an ethos of responsibility and care for the environment and promoting sustainability across our sites. We encourage recycling, reusing and reducing waste and have introduced a paperless processes to help us  achieve this. We actively endorse car share schemes and offer a cycle to work scheme which helps employees with the cost of buying a  bike and cycling equipment. We are continually  striving to become more sustainable and finding new initiatives to reduce our impact on the environment.

Our CSR vision is simple: to be our community’s most responsible employer by doing the right thing.
