As with the services we provide to our customers, Pirean takes the real-world view in how we conduct ourselves as a business and strives to always consider the broader impact of our activities upon the individual and the environment.
From office procedures, business workflow and staff conduct, to travel and promotional activities, our goal is to be proactive in controlling our consumption and our emissions, whilst maintaining our business momentum and our reputation as a responsible and respectful corporate entity.
Our commitment to our workforce and our surrounding environment means that we have an active programme of corporate citizenship that aims to encourage our employees and our community to better themselves and to strive to improve the predicament of others.
Pirean complies by the internationally recognised GoodCorporation’s Corporate and Social Responsibility guidelines and is also registered with the Charities Aid Foundation.
Social Responsibility
Contributing to the community is hugely important to us, and we sponsor numerous charities. We also operate a charitable giving programme, enabling our employees to give generously and enable them to receive the maximum benefits when doing so.
Where possible we work with local charities for activities such as IT recycling schemes. We donate our unused IT equipment to a local charity, Jamie’s Computers, who repair, restore and recycle computers for under-privileged individuals and charities.
Environmental Responsibility
At every stage of our supply chain we ensure that we are acting responsibly, and our suppliers operate ethically and in consideration of their environmental impact. We subscribe to BSI’s ISO140001 for our environmental governance, working to achieve their robust environmental policies.
We recycle all of our paper waste, securely disposing of written materials and we endeavour to only use ethical sources who give consideration to sustainability.
Pirean and The White Hat Ball
For the past two years Pirean has been an active sponsor of the White Hat Ball, an event held by the IT community to raise money for NSPCC's service, Childline. The final tally for this years event came to £100,000, making it one of the biggest fund raising events for Childline.
Pirean is proud to have been involved and is committed to continue to support this fine cause.
In addition to supporting the White Hat Ball, Pirean's record of sponsorship and giving throughout 2010 also includes contributions to MIND (as part of the Mont Blanc Challenge), Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (as part of the London to Paris Bike Challenge) and miscellaneous sponsorships for the NSPCC, Dreams Come True and Jubilee Sailing Trust.
