Lawton Communications Group

There is a budget in place specifically in place for fun and social events. These have included a team photography competition, wear it pink day for breast cancer and a Eurovision lunch. As an organisation they also hold formal team building events. The most recent was an externally facilitated two day event with their client services and business development teams. Such events allow employees to relax and have fun outside of the work place and gain new skills.

Minimising their impact on the environment is a core part of the company's culture and new employees are informed from their first days within the company through their environmental induction presentation which is further emphasised in the group chairman's presentation. They have a dedicated engagement manager who is responsible for managing and promoting corporate social responsibility issues. They are committed to reducing their impact on the environment by minimising energy consumption, recycling as much as possible and reducing business travel wherever possible through conference calls, encouraging use of public transport and car sharing. They have light sensors in all common areas to ensure lights are not left on unnecessarily. Water filters on all taps discourage people from buying bottled water and there are clearly labelled recycling bins for paper, cardboard and glass. They are committed to becoming carbon neutral by the end of 2010. They also support the local community through a number of industry and education links with local schools, colleges and universities as well as relationships with other local organisations.
