Thatcham MIRRC

Thatcham has a charitable donations group which meets regularly to decide which charities the company will support. They often sponsor members of staff for taking part in fundraising events from a team who walked the ‘moonwalk' for Breast Cancer, a member of staff who cycled from John O Groats to Landsend for the NSPCC and another who participated in ‘three men in a boat' for the Bi-polar Organisation. Thatcham has a corporate social responsibility committee made up representatives from each area of the business who meet regularly to discuss CSR issues, suggest new action points and comment on existing ones. All company owned vehicles are also selected on their CO2 emission efficiency. They carefully monitor the use of electricity, gas and water and have implemented a range of energy efficient programmes to ensure they are reducing their energy consumption. 8 wind turbines have been installed to generate some of their own electricity and have installed a lighting voltage management system which reduces power use by 25%. Thatcham are regular visitors to local schools and youth organisations where they promote safety on the roads.

One of Thatcham's company values is innovation and therefore they recognise and reward an employee who demonstrates a commitment to this particular value. Twice a year employees can nominate a colleague for a Value Award. The awards aim to promote and encourage commitment to their core company values and consequently acknowledge individual employee contribution. Each winner for the 4 values is given a voucher and champagne to recognise their success. Employees who completed the management certificate had their certificate presented by the Chief Executive and enjoyed a celebratory lunch and fun learning event.
