Soil Association campaign for healthy, humane and sustainable food, farming and land use and is an environmental membership charity and organic certification body. It exists to build a world where people, animals and the planet can thrive. Employees embody these core values and ambition and are encouraged to undertake regular volunteering projects. Staff rewards include an opportunity to have tickets to attend the Valley Fest festival, which is close to the organisation's headquarters, where they can get together with their colleagues and also help to spread the word about the association to other attendees. A staff Christmas party is held each year and always includes a creative fancy dress theme that is suggested by staff. The most recent theme was ‘Mad Max Meets Countryfile', with inventive costumes and plenty of entertainment. Wellbeing initiatives include regular yoga classes and a lunchtime running club.
