Success for us is delivering high quality, sustainable schemes that we’re proud to be associated with
It’s also having a growing portfolio of happy, long term clients who value our partnership
Equally success for us is to continue to strive with our commitment to our Environmental, Social and Governance factors – we make it our own great responsibility to contribute to a sustainable future.
As Arrow evolves, we take pride in the projects we are involved with, the people we work with, and we are mindful of how we work. We see no end to improving our working practices and our ambition to work towards becoming a net zero carbon company continues.
Environmental
Our vision for sustainability
Our aim is to work with people that share our vision for sustainability. We work tirelessly to get good schemes through the planning system, utilising our creative thinking and the latest innovative technologies to promote schemes that contribute to the growing demands of our country for new homes, net zero carbon communities, better infrastructure and new healthcare developments. We provide our clients with advice keeping the best interests of the environment at heart with a goal of making existing and new communities desirable to live within, providing jobs, and creating a vibrant culture that inspires visitors and future generations.
Our flexible approach to business allows us to help minimise our carbon footprint. We actively encourage flexible working solutions to suit our team. Our offices are central and in proximity of a range of public transport modes therefore we encourage the team and visitors to use sustainable transport, walk or cycle where possible. Our new office was carefully designed with a climate-conscious mind to be energy efficient, constructed mainly using recycled and sustainable materials with plenty of natural light sources.
Social
At Arrow, we
celebrate you!
At Arrow, we work hard to ensure our environment is not only a safe, supportive and inclusive place of work but also a great place to work! We are fortunate to have a dedicated team from which our successes have grown. To create a sustainable business, our team must feel valued, therefore it is imperative to nurture our people and provide the greatest opportunities for learning and development. We encourage diversity and offer team coaching to strengthen our relationships – inclusivity and equality is paramount to our practice. We want people to grow and feel confident to share their views for which we welcome fresh new ideas to the table and embrace change.
Our multidisciplinary team approach provides us with a combination of skills and insight to enable one another and apply new areas of expertise to our learning. We value our collaborative partners, and we continue to build upon these relationships through joint events and CPD.
Social
Creating a culture
that is equal and welcoming to all.
We are committed to the well-being of our team by offering flexible working solutions to encourage a healthy balanced lifestyle, alongside our empathetic approach where we offer support with mental health to those in need. Throughout the year we enjoy team away days such as volunteering with Charities in our local community to help with biodiversity projects in the area. This has proved valuable to build on relationships within our team and members of the local community. We understand the importance of giving back and how we can all play a part in supporting each other. As a business we have pledged healthy donations to charities such as The Little Princess Trust, Alzheimer’s Society and The Chiltern Rangers.
Governance
Establishing clear and effective governance for ESG
Our focus is to promote strong oversight, transparency, and risk management at all levels of our organisation, ensuring the resilience and long-term preservation of value for our business and team.
We maintain strong corporate governance practises through management accountability, and proactive risk management. We are financially responsible and understand the balance between financial success, developing the business, and our social and environmental responsibilities.
We are committed to high ethical standards through a strong Code of Ethics and Business Conduct and leadership that promotes a culture of integrity. We also cultivate strong stakeholder relationships through transparency, open communications, and responding to stakeholder input.
We establish clear and effective governance for ESG, set goals and establish accountability.
