Social mobility
We support social mobility in the communities we serve through partnerships with registered charities, nonprofit organisations, social enterprises, educators, and our supply chain. With these organisations, we have created skills and employability pathways that help ensure everyone has the opportunity to reach their potential.
We focus our efforts on causes that closely align with our core business. These cover skills and employability with a focus on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education, energy affordability and the natural environment, to support the energy industry.
What is social mobility?
Social mobility is the ease with which someone’s socio-economic standing or situation can change and recognising that we all contribute towards our society and place of work, regardless of where our lives started.
We believe that people’s circumstances at birth should not determine outcomes in the rest of their life. Characteristics like ethnicity, gender, accent, jobs their parents did or where they are from should not impact the opportunities available to them or their chance of success.
The aim is to ensure there is a fair playing field for all that wish to take part. See below for more information about some of the partners we work with in the UK.
