Policy Owner: Senior Management

Date of Review: August 2026

1. Our Commitment

At Cajuncy Staffing Solutions, we are committed to integrating sustainable practices into every aspect of our business operations. We recognise our responsibility to minimise our environmental impact, promote social equity, and contribute positively to the economic well-being of the communities we serve. This policy outlines our commitments and actions in line with the three pillars of sustainability: Environmental, Social, and Economic.

We believe that by actively promoting sustainable practices, we can create a more resilient and responsible hospitality industry, attract top talent, and build stronger, more meaningful relationships with our clients and staff.

2. Our Sustainability Pillars

Pillar 1: Environmental Responsibility

We are dedicated to minimising our environmental footprint by promoting a "net-zero" culture within our own operations and with our staff on assignment. Our focus areas are waste reduction, energy consumption, and sustainable travel.

Commitments & Actions:

Paperless Operations: We will digitize all internal and external communication, from candidate applications and contracts to client invoices and reports. Our goal is to be a fully paperless office.
Energy Efficiency: We will implement energy-saving measures in our offices, including the use of energy-efficient lighting, power-saving settings on all equipment, and a policy to switch off all electronics when not in use.
Waste Management: We will implement a robust recycling program in our offices and provide guidance to our staff on-site at events to promote effective recycling and waste reduction.
Green Commuting: We will encourage our internal employees and event staff to use public transport, cycle, or carpool for their commute. We will explore incentives to support these green commuting options.
Supplier Engagement: We will prioritise working with suppliers who demonstrate a clear commitment to environmental sustainability, such as those with eco-friendly products or certified green credentials.

Pillar 2: Social Responsibility

We are committed to building a diverse, inclusive, and ethical business that prioritises the well-being and professional development of our staff.

Commitments & Actions:

Fair Employment & Well-being: We will ensure all our staff, both internal and temporary, receive fair wages, comprehensive benefits, and a healthy and safe working environment that adheres to all UK labour laws and regulations.
Diversity & Inclusion: We are committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workforce. We will actively seek candidates from all backgrounds and provide training to all our staff on diversity, equality, and inclusion.
Staff Training & Development: We will provide ongoing training for our temporary staff on sustainability best practices relevant to the hospitality industry, such as reducing food waste, proper recycling procedures, and responsible use of resources.
Community Engagement: We will support local charities and community initiatives, seeking opportunities for our staff to participate in volunteer programs that align with our values.

Pillar 3: Economic Responsibility

We will operate our business in a manner that ensures long-term economic viability while providing significant value to our clients and staff.

Commitments & Actions:

Ethical Procurement: We will maintain high ethical standards in all our business dealings, including working with a supply chain that operates with honesty, fairness, and transparency.
Local Talent Focus: We will prioritise recruiting and placing staff from local communities to reduce travel emissions and support the local economy.
Strategic Partnerships: We will build long-term, sustainable partnerships with clients who share our commitment to responsible business practices, helping them to meet their own sustainability goals.
Ethical Financial Management: We will operate with financial transparency and integrity, ensuring we are a stable and trusted partner for both our staff and our clients.

3. Policy Implementation & Measurement

The responsibility for implementing this policy lies with all employees of Cajuncy Staffing Solutions. Senior Management will provide the necessary resources and leadership to drive these initiatives.

We will regularly monitor our progress and report on key sustainability metrics, such as:

Percentage of internal operations that are paperless.
Energy consumption of our offices.
Number of staff trained in sustainability best practices.
Participation in community engagement initiatives.

This policy will be reviewed annually to ensure it remains relevant, effective, and aligned with evolving industry standards and regulations.
