Responsible Business
We are a business that puts a healthy business, communities and environment at the very heart of our growth strategies.
We understand that Mayo Wynne Baxter does not exist in isolation nor are we a firm that is simply a way of making money. Our employees depend on our firm and our clients, suppliers and the wider local community are all affected by our firm and what we do.
We take our corporate social responsibility (CSR) seriously and take time to understand our firm’s impact on the wider world and considering how we can make this impact as positive as possible.
We believe that we are stronger together and that our differences make us strong.
We know that we are more confident, more effective and perform at our best when we can completely be ourselves and that the more diverse perspectives we have, the more we can learn, grow and thrive.
We are committed to promoting a culture that supports and values diversity and inclusion. Our aim is for our firm to be truly representative of all sections of society and for all staff to feel respected and able to give their best.
It is our company policy to engage with and be a part of the local communities we serve. As a firm we endeavor to support a charity that benefits the communities which support us.
Our aim as a firm is to have the biggest impact to the single charity we choose to partner with. This partnership usually lasts for a two year period, with the charity being selected by our staff. This also binds each of our offices together in the events and activities that we organise, which in turn leads to targets being reached and recognition and rewards for the teams.
Our Company Charity for 2023 – 25 is Air Ambulance Kent, Surrey and Sussex. Air Ambulance Charity Kent Surrey Sussex (KSS) is an independent charity at the forefront of Helicopter Emergency Medical Services (HEMS).
It costs £45K per day to operate their world leading, life-saving service, 87% of their total income is raised through incredible generosity of their supporters. KSS has dedicated the last 33 years to saving lives and providing cutting-edge, pre-hospital critical care.
They’re a vital part of your community, your lives and your safety. KSS is driven by their purpose of saving lives and ensuring the best possible outcomes for their patients. Last year alone, KSS was called to respond to over 3,200 incidents.
Our aim is to raise as much money for them as possible but also to raise their profile and show people the difference they make to patients.
The Social Mobility Business Partnership (SMBP) is a volunteer-led charity supported by Mayo Wynne Baxter since 2017.
It is a collaboration of 170 commercial organisations, professional services firms and professional sports teams working in towns and cities across the U.K. who are all committed to supporting students from low-income backgrounds in their pursuit of a career in business. Since 2014, SMBP has grown from offering opportunities to 20 students in London, to over 470 student places across the UK in 2021.
For more information about this year’s event, please visit the SMBP website.
At Mayo Wynne Baxter, we understand that some people have hidden disabilities – disabilities that aren’t immediately apparent and that those people may need additional support or assistance.
We also appreciate that not every person with a disability will want to disclose the fact of their disability to all those that they meet during their daily life, therefore, as part of our ethos of inclusivity and equity, we will wear the Sunflower to discreetly offer our support to those who need it.
Please let us know how we can help you by contacting us here.
We are stronger together.
We take a responsible attitude, go beyond the minimum legal requirements and follow straightforward principles to ensure that the firm’s activities leave a positive impact on our suppliers, clients, community, staff and environment.
We also show support by sponsorship and attendance of events that promote or benefit the local communities/businesses (BHA, CTFC, Sussex Cricket, Lewes Hockey Club, Pulborough Cricket Club, Storrington Bowling Club), as well as encouraging employees to support local causes.
A major aim of Mayo Wynne Baxter is to drastically reduce our paper use, we hope to eventually be a paperless business but this is a work in progress! We try to be environmentally aware and have installed automatic lighting and recycling systems are in place. We also cut down our carbon costs with locally sourced materials and services.
