PEOPLE PLANET PURPOSE
Our People and Planet pillars define how as a business we want to position ourselves on issues such as diversity and inclusion, sustainability, and community.
As a growing organisation our vision for the future is to be both an employer of choice and partner of choice to our customers and suppliers. We understand that by having a strong purpose in People and Planet helps to reinforce and grow our other strategic pillars of Customer and Performance.

By working with purpose, we hope to create the desire for our associates, our customers, and suppliers to choose to work with us daily, building a sustainable business and providing security for our families and our community.
As a company our success is closely tied to associate engagement, trust, growth and development and teamwork and to help us facilitate this we participate in different schemes and progammes. These include being affiliated gold members of the Mental Health Charter, charitable payroll giving and organising volunteering days.

We support community investments and educational programs, and our volunteering and philanthropy is driven through the People Operations team.
Routeco’s D&I policy is reviewed annually to ensure that we benchmark against best practise and advisory resources from Inclusive Employers
To help foster an inclusive workplace, we provide ongoing diversity and inclusion training to all employees, not just our management teams.
We understand that diversity and inclusion are not a one-time effort or training session, it is a commitment to continual learning, improvement, and action to do our part in ensuring that diversity and inclusion is an everyday reality.
Our open voices survey is completed every two years where we gain internal feedback from our associates on their thoughts and feelings on D&I through several defined questions.
We aspire to have a diverse and inclusive workforce because we understand that this moral imperative drives better outcomes for both our associates and our business.
We also believe that a more inclusive workplace, where people of diverse backgrounds, cultures and perspectives work together and support each other will enrich and create a better environment for everyone.
Routeco are committed to embedding diversity and inclusion across the whole organisation. We recognise and celebrate the value that a diverse workforce brings, and we are fully committed to the elimination of any unlawful and unfair discrimination.
Routeco have membership with ‘Inclusive Employers’. This prioritises our understanding the unique inclusion and diversity challenges within our organisation providing tailored, action-focused support from established leaders in the field.
We aim to place inclusion
at the heart of all we do.
To promote a culture of responsibility and giving across our company, we encourage our associates to participate in charity events where our we offer corporate contributions to individual and group fundraising activities.
We donate annually to the community foundation with our level of donation enabling a named corporate fund. This is reviewed annually with 2021 -22 being dedicated to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion focussing specifically on ethnic minority communities around social mobility among young people and development of professional careers.
