At The Outlier Group, we are committed to acting as a responsible corporate citizen, recognising our obligation to positively impact the communities we serve, the environment, and society at large. Our Social Responsibility Policy outlines our core principles and commitments in sustainability, community involvement, ethical business practices, and employee well-being.

1. Commitment to Sustainability

We recognise the importance of reducing our environmental footprint and are committed to integrating sustainability into our business practices. To achieve this, we will:

• Reduce Waste: Actively minimise waste across all areas of our operations, including energy consumption and resource use.
• Promote Sustainability: Implement eco-friendly policies, such as recycling, reducing single-use plastics, and promoting remote work to minimise carbon emissions.
• Work with Ethical Suppliers: Ensure that our suppliers share our commitment to environmental sustainability by sourcing materials and services from responsible and ethical vendors.

2. Supporting Communities

At Outlier, we believe in giving back to the communities that support us. Our community involvement includes:

• Charitable Initiatives: We commit to regularly participating in charity work, whether through donations, volunteering, or partnerships with non-profit organisations.
• Pro Bono Services: We offer our consulting expertise to selected not-for-profit organisations to support initiatives that align with our values.
• Local Engagement: We engage with local businesses and support regional communities by focusing on projects that drive long-term benefits for people, especially in underserved areas.

3. Ethical Business Practices

Operating with integrity and transparency is central to our business. Our ethical principles include:

• Honesty and Transparency: We conduct all business with integrity, providing clear, honest, and transparent communication with clients, partners, and employees.
• Compliance with Laws and Regulations: We comply with all relevant laws, industry standards, and ethical guidelines in every market we operate in.
• Respect for Human Rights: We maintain high ethical standards and ensure that human rights are respected across our entire supply chain.

4. Employee Well-Being

Our employees are at the heart of our success, and we are dedicated to creating a positive, inclusive, and supportive work environment. Our commitments include:

• Health and Safety: We prioritise the health and safety of our employees, maintaining a safe working environment across all office and project locations.
• Diversity and Inclusion: We embrace diversity and foster a culture of inclusion where all employees are respected, valued, and given equal opportunities to thrive.
• Work-Life Balance: We promote work-life balance by offering flexible working hours, remote work opportunities, and mental health support for all employees.

5. Monitoring and Improvement

We are committed to regularly reviewing and improving our social responsibility practices. This policy will be evaluated annually to ensure it reflects current standards, emerging best practices, and the evolving needs of our stakeholders.

By integrating these principles into our operations, The Outlier Group strives to make a meaningful, lasting contribution to society, the environment, and the communities we work with.
