CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
At Interval Group (hereafter 'Interval'), we recognise our responsibility to contribute positively to the wider community. We believe that social, environmental and ethical considerations are integral to fostering a sustainable, long-term business.
We emphasise to our team that being part of Interval means also being a valued member of society. Our team members are passionate about people and eager to support initiatives that benefit the community.
Interval supports staff in making their own personal choices, including political affiliations, participation in the democratic process and financial contributions to worthy charities and community projects. While Interval actively encourages these activities, it does not undertake them on behalf of its employees. Interval remains politically neutral and does not make political donations or significant charitable grants. Our general policies are outlined below:
(a) Environmental Policy
As a service-oriented business, Interval’s operations naturally have a lower environmental impact than those in other sectors. Nonetheless, we are committed to minimising our environmental footprint and follow recommendations from the Carbon Trust to reduce our carbon emissions. Interval's environmental policy includes commitments to:
-
Recycling: Minimising waste sent to landfill by separating recyclable materials.
-
Water: Providing filtered and purified mains water for personal use on-site.
-
Efficiency: Optimising the efficiency of our building's heating and cooling systems.
-
Energy: Implementing low-energy lighting wherever possible.
-
Technology: Using software that automatically powers down computers to conserve energy.
-
Travel: Encouraging the use of public transport and increasing reliance on video conferencing and webinars.
-
Procurement: Ensuring that our procurement processes aim to reduce Interval's carbon footprint wherever feasible.
​
In line with the UK's Net Zero Strategy and PPN 06/21, we have published our Carbon Reduction Plan here.
(b) Charitable, Political and Community Engagement
Many of our team members actively participate in community projects and charitable activities.
Examples of our charitable involvement include:
-
UK and Ireland: Supporting charities such as Macmillan Cancer Support, Mind, LOROS, Pain UK, Motor Neurone Disease Association, The Lullaby Trust, Better Lives Foundation, The Prince's Trust and a regional NHS Hospital and Community Charity.
-
Germany: Taking on a sponsor role in the IWJ programme, which helps students develop skills for entering the business world.
-
Spain: Organising and sponsoring community initiatives like Pilates in the Park and Young Stars Dancing, promoting overall wellbeing.
-
Global: Hosting successful fundraising events for charities such as the Red Cross, Parkinson's UK and UNICEF UK.
(c) Employee Engagement
Employee engagement at Interval is fostered through respect for the organisation, a clear understanding of our strategy, the ability to influence outcomes and opportunities for personal and professional development. Interval is committed to maintaining a culture of openness, positivity and transparency, which underpins high levels of staff engagement.
We ensure that all team members are informed about the financial and economic factors that impact the company’s performance. Employees are regularly consulted on matters of concern and their feedback is considered in decision-making processes that affect their interests.
Interval operates as a strong meritocracy, where talent and contribution are paramount. Our attractive culture and robust corporate values - integrity, transparency, fairness, passion and excellence in service delivery - are central to our operations. We always strive to act in the long-term interests of our clients and candidates.
Our commitment is further reinforced by our membership in organisations that uphold the highest standards of ethics, equity, integrity, professional conduct and fair practice.
(d) Health & Safety
Interval is dedicated to taking all reasonable and practical steps to ensure the health, safety and welfare of its employees, visitors and anyone affected by its activities.
Interval's approach includes:
-
Assessing health and safety risks.
-
Implementing safe working systems.
-
Providing necessary information, instruction and training.
-
Regularly reviewing and updating health and safety policies.
