Corporate social responsibility
We recognise that our work has an effect on the environment. We are committed to continuous improvements in environmental performance and the prevention of pollution. We have a bronze award under the London Mayor's Green Procurement Code. We promote corporate social responsibility through ‘green’ events and initiatives, Fairtrade supplies and measures to reduce and offset our carbon footprint. We actively promote the ‘give as you earn’ charitable donation scheme and provide paid time off for staff volunteering, voting and blood donation.
Our values
Our values are:
- Fair - we are fair in the way we treat each other and the people and organisations we deal with
- Impartial - we are impartial in our decisions and actions
- Transparent - we are transparent about how we work
We aim to put the voter first.
Retirement age
The Commission does not have a retirement age.
Working well together
We have a recognition agreement with the Public and Commercial Services Union (PCS) and work with staff trade union representatives to support good employee relations.
Equality and diversity
We support the recruitment and retention of a diverse workforce. Equality and diversity is at the heart of our activities externally, as well as within our employment practices.
