Social Values

Strategy aims and themes

#1 Surpassing the living wage

The real Living Wage, advocated by the Living Wage Foundation, is a voluntary and independently set pay rate that reflects the true cost
of living. At AP Mitchell, we Surpass the Living Wage across all group divisions to ensure that people are not trapped in working poverty.

#2 Inspire and educate young people

Our Apprenticeship and Work Placement Schemes provide young people with employability skills for the workplace and open their eyes to the huge range of careers in Engineering and Construction.

#3 Support and scale social enterprise

We are a business that operates to deliver social and/or environmental benefits, for example, employing jobs to local people and supporting development of healthy, strong and resilient communities through initiatives to help them help themselves.
