Corporate Social Responsibility
Arram Berlyn Gardner's continued commitment to being a responsible firm influences all aspects of our business. It impacts upon the ways in which we operate, how we communicate, our impact on the environment and what as a firm we give back to the community.
Arram Berlyn Gardner's corporate responsiblity is driven by four core service values. Not only do we express our values through the service that we provide, but also through the ways in which we conduct business.
Since our inception we have supported a considerable number of regional charities and given a great deal of consideration to the community in which we operate. This year is first year that we have considered documenting this and we sincerely hope that by putting pen to paper we can demonstrate the values that are central to the ways in which we operate.
We believe that our Corporate Social Responsiblity Statement will evolve further over time and we hope you appreciate our efforts and contributions.

Environmental
To demonstrate our commitment to the environment, Arram Berlyn Gardner, has become a Planet Positive certified business.
Our employees are engaged in a programme to reduce the carbon emissions of the business and are supporting Link Community Development, helping to purchase solar panels for rural schools in Africa which leads to improvements in education and opportunities to teach pupils about sustainability.
Achieving Planet Positive certification is an international recognition of the highest sustainability standards. Arram Berlyn Gardner will now become a more sustainable business and have a positive environmental and social impact.
We have followed a four-step process including the measurement of the company's carbon footprint, and a commitment to reduce emissions by 5% on an annual basis. As part of the Planet Positive certification, ABG promises to support and encourage innovative recommendations and approaches to the implementation of sustainability strategies and use resources efficiently to minimize waste and the usage of water, energy and other consumables in the office environment.
Paul Berlyn our Managing Partner added “We believe that good business goes hand-in-hand with positive social and environmental actions, and achieving and maintaining our Planet Positive certification demonstrates our commitment to reduce our carbon emissions and environmental impacts so that we can be good for the planet. Our employees are a major part of this activity. Working with Planet Positive will help us make the changes happen and create a better way of doing business.”
