At Britvic we recognise the importance of establishing good relationships with the communities in which we operate, and are committed to working in partnership with our chosen charitable organisations.
We appreciate that a mix of financial support, as well as actual involvement with time, skills and donations in kind are all beneficial when investing in charities and communities.
We believe in demonstrating to our employees that we are responsive to the charities and organisations they most care about and we therefore facilitate their giving in a variety of ways, including matched funding, product donations, payroll giving and volunteering via student mentoring, school governorship and factory visits.
In addition we have a company charity, voted for by our employees, which we encourage various fund-raising events throughout the year, such as charity book sales, cake-bakes and team events.
We are members of the London Benchmarking Group (LBG) along with many other FTSE companies, enabling us to better capture and report on our community investment and to benefit from shared best practice in this area.
Did you know that Britvic contributed £430k to its communities in 2007, and this year is supporting education in Cameroon via The Rainforest Foundation and our Really Wild Drinks Co., and is helping UNICEF raise money for their Emergency Relief fund.
