Giving Back

At the heart of our company is a family run business. We are proud to be one of the world’s leading manpower providers, respected by our clients and represented by some of the best people in the industry.

Although we may have grown to become one of the largest recruitment companies in the world, Orion remains an independently – and locally – owned company. Because of this, we are committed to working with local community and charitable organisations. 

This spirit of corporate social responsibility (CSR) is ingrained in everything we do, and wherever we operate around the globe, we engage with local communities as much as possible. It plays a key part in how we operate as a business, providing opportunities that make a real difference.

Our CSR Programme inspires our people to get behind the great work of local charity organisations and community projects, and we are proud that our staff are incredibly proactive in doing so.

Social Responsibility

Regardless of where in the world we operate, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) continues to play an increasingly important role in the business. Our CSR strategy reflects the way in which we operate our main business of 'work' - managing the employment needs of individuals and business - and providing opportunities which can make a real difference to the ongoing development and achievements of our people.

Orion Group is guided by the extensive International Labour Organisations (ILO) standards governing our employment practices and industrial relations. This standard incorporates a genuine respect for employees’ rights to freedom of association, labour organisation, non-discrimination in employment and a safe and healthy working environment provided for all employees.

At Orion we truly value all of our people in terms of their social, intellectual, economic and personal contribution to the business. We also ensure that each employee is treated with dignity and respect. We never discriminate on the basis gender, racial, social or ethnic origin, culture, religion, age, disability, sexual orientation, nationality, citizenship or political opinion.

Our work in the community

Our CSR Programme is designed to inspire our people to get behind the great work of these (and other) charity organisations in their local area. Our staff are incredibly proactive when it comes to charity and we are happy to support fundraising initiatives wherever we can.
