Earlier this year, we launched our environmental, social, and governance (ESG) policy, OrbAid. We're excited to share our first Quarterly Impact Report, a reflection of our ESG journey so far. It's an opportunity for us to celebrate achievements, acknowledge areas for growth, and share our dedication to creating meaningful impact. 

Celebrating milestones 

We're thrilled to have reached significant milestones in our ESG journey this year:

  • Over £20,401 in Charity Donations: Testament to our commitment to social well-being and collective responsibility. 

Journeying towards our pledges
