Featured Workplace Factors

Leadership

90% of staff agreed

I have a great deal of faith in the person leading this organisation

Saint-Cobain is dedicated to the environment and has several different schemes in place to help. A tree planting scheme is in place, where for every 10 tonnes of expected waste not produced, a new tree is planted on site. This project was started with the aim of creating a wildlife area to recognise and remind every person on site each day, the need for duty or care and the positive effects this will give towards the environment. To support their local community they try to fill available vacancies with local people and also do a lot of work with the local schools. They work closely with North Yorkshire Business and Education Partnership and sponsor and become involved in the Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths Fair that they organise. As part of their commitment they also support local schools in career management and interview practise.
