“Aico in the Community was developed to give back to communities and to help make a difference.

Our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programme is very much led from the top – our culture, our values, behaviours and ways of working are apparent, all colleagues are keen to get involved, volunteering their time to support CSR projects, volunteering and helping raise funds for chosen charities.

Colleagues have multiple days allocated throughout the year for involvement in CSR events and everyone is encouraged to use them. We also hold numerous events in the office such as charity cake bakes and fancy-dress days to boost fundraising.”
