Our Guiding Framework
Our Guiding Framework shapes everything we do. It incorporates our driving purpose, it outlines the behaviours we work by, and the goals we are all working together to achieve. These are our values and vision.
As a family-owned business, we know it’s our people who make us successful. And just as in a family, everyone should feel welcome, included, and connected at Wates. We strive to be an organisation where everyone loves to work and to provide a safe space where everyone can be themselves.
Wates Together
Our Diversity and Inclusion plan is our long-term blueprint to create a business where everyone is welcomed, included and connected. We call this #WatesTogether.
Inclusion and Diversity
We are committed to building an organisation which is more representative of the communities we serve, offering equality of opportunities to diverse talent and an inclusive work environment where this talent thrives. We have set ourselves bold targets that will take time to achieve, but we are moving in the right direction and we are committed to achieving sustainable change. Find out more about our inclusion and diversity strategy
Social Value
Our approach to social value is rooted in our belief that how we do business, is as important as what we do. Our programmes and activities are focused on creating work and training opportunities, particularly for people furthest away from the workforce, such as care leavers, ex-offenders and ex Services personnel; building sustainable communities through employment, skills and awareness, and advocacy of trade with the social enterprise sector.
Environmental Sustainability
The Wates Group is committed to the long-term sustainability of the built environment and we’re working to eliminate carbon from our operations by 2025.
As a Group, we have three ambitious environmental targets to achieve by 2025: Zero Waste, and Zero Carbon, from our operations and Positive Nature Enhancement. We’re also working hard with our customers to help them find ways of reaching their own environmental targets.
Our Six Flexible Working Principles
We’re committed to having a workforce that more accurately reflects society and providing an environment that positively encourages flexible working through working arrangements and benefits. Following the introduction of sector-leading Family Leave Policies in 2020, we have become one of the first construction companies to support flexible working across every part of our business, including for site-based employees. By 2025, we intend all our roles to be flexible, and we already advertise all new vacancies as flexible. Our six flexible working principles are designed to allow our colleagues and teams to develop working patterns that take into account individual preferences, allowing everyone to perform at their best.
