Amoria Bond operates on a fundamental belief that every action has an impact, and that we have an ethical responsibility to ensure that our impact as a company is a positive one. This belief is embedded throughout our culture and reflected in our Purpose, Vision, and Values. It’s embodied by Amoria Bond’s Charitable Trust, and accountable through our CSR commitments.
The Amoria Bond Charitable Trust is a registered charity set up by the company in 2009 to promote and facilitate a culture of giving back. It is a grant making trust primarily funded by contributions from the company and our employees.
Our CSR policy and commitments are reviewed annually to ensure we’re fulfilling our purpose of Progressing Lives Everywhere and that our actions are having a positive impact. Our current CSR commitments fall into four key impact areas outlined below.
Help the Community is a core commitment in our five year G.R.O.W.T.H. strategy. Through our Charitable Trust we’ve promised to deliver five charitable projects over five years. The first took place in July 2020 with AB Active - raising over £8,000 for Project Peru’s children’s refuge in the shanty town region of Las Laderas.
We offer all employees a day a year, fully paid, to volunteer at a charity of their choice. Employees have spent that time undertaking fundraising for Francis House, clearing up after the 2021 Cologne floods, helping at soup kitchens and homeless shelters, cleaning up local beaches and much, much more.
Our dedicated wellbeing HUB provides a range of resources available 24/7 for employees. We also offer mindfulness mastery and resilience training, alongside local and company-wide initiatives such as expert-led webinars and team activities. Take a look at our wellbeing playlist.
We plant 1 tree for every NPS survey completed by our clients and candidates, 10 trees per employee every year, 100 trees every time an employee is promoted internally in celebration of their progression, and 1000 trees every time we open an office in a new global location. Read more
Since 2011, we have been supporting the community of Las Laderas, Peru - a desert shanty-town in the foothills of Lima. Between 2011-2017, teams of volunteer employees travelled to the region to help local builders funded by the Amoria Bond Charitable Trust build 101 houses - providing homes and security for more than 500 of the poorest and most vulnerable people in the community.
In 2019 Amoria Bond Charitable Trust opened our second soup kitchen in Las Laderas which feeds hundreds of people every day. The facilities also provide a much needed safe space for vital social, health and educational facilities.
We have developed a friendship with the people of Las Laderas and with our long-term charity partners, Project Peru, who run a children's refuge where we also provide regular support and funding. We are looking forward to our next volunteer trip in 2022 which will see us helping out both within the refuge and the local community.
In 2021 areas in North Rhein Westfalen were badly impacted by heavy floods. Employees from our Cologne office volunteered to help clean-up efforts in affected areas. The company and many employees also donated to the German Red Cross to help the support effort.
Our EU Engineering Contract team and members of their families used their volunteer charuty day together clearing up Zandvoort beach.
Amoria Bond employees from the Manchester head office donated their Easter eggs from the company towards Francis House hospice's annual fundraiser.
Every year Amoria Bond purchases Christmas care packages containing essential items for the people of Las Laderas. In 2020, our AGM raffled raised over £5,000 to buy 177 care packages for the community.
Each December, Amoria Bond employees choose a local charity to raise funds for. In 2020 our teams donated to charities including Schumaneck Kinderhaus (Cologne), Serve the City (Amsterdam), Francis House Hospice (Manchester) and Foodbank Singapore.
In July 2020, employees, along with their friends and families, collectively ran, swam, cycled, walked and even skated the equivalent distance of Peru’s land border to raise money for a children’s refuge in Las Laderas, Peru. The company donated £1 every km covered – raising over £8,000.
The team at our Manchester headquarters funded an entire library - including books and furnishings - for St Wilfred’s primary school. We continue to regularly donate books.
We have a long-standing relationship with N-Gage – a Manchester based charity that provides young people with social and educational support. Most recently, in 2021 we donated furniture and computing equipment, and later this year a team of employee volunteers will be helping redecorate their youth club in Burnage.
Following the 2017 terrorist attack at Manchester Arena, we turned one of our Sales Days into a fundraising event for the We Love MCR emergency appeal for victims and their families.
Employees from our Singapore office volunteered for cooking duty at the Willing Hearts Soup Kitchen, who provide free meals to elderly and vulnerable people. Amoria bond also contributed $2,500 to the charity.
We’ve undertaken many more charity projects through the years and we’re dedicated to continuing our hard work in supporting our communities in the future.
