OUR COMMITMENT TO CULTURE & COMMUNITY

Over the years, Cartwright has established longstanding relationships with a range of charities in the community. We have helped them to build partnerships with local business and gain valuable support through strategic marketing campaigns and PR activity.
COMMITMENT TO OUR ENVIRONMENT
Cartwright not only provides pro-bono PR servicing to several smaller businesses nationwide but has dedicated annual time to marathon walkathons and litter picking plus local conservation initiatives with regional primary schools, Nottingham Canal Trust and Birmingham Black Country Life Wildlife Trust.
This year we have audited our scope 1-3 emissions alongside Nottingham Trent University’s Sustainability in Enterprise team and made key updates to the office to make us more energy and waste efficient. Our team also encourages recycling initiatives across internal book and clothes’ swaps to ensure an recycle, reuse and repair mentality.
COMMITMENT TO PEOPLE & CAREERS
We’re proud of our ethics, diversity & inclusivity panel which is entrusted to uphold the fair treatment and respected approach we take to our staff and clients. We are always looking to improve our policies and practices and provide expert EDI training for our teams including essential advice and guidance, which will influence our new and updated EDI policy statement.
We actively ensure in all areas of the business that we continue to assist the learning and development of our talented team. With an award-winning employee wellbeing programme, flexible and hybrid working policies and an annual promise to up-and-coming people in our industry we believe in the future generation.
Cartwright devotes time to delivering careers talks and mentoring both internally and externally as has connections to Nottingham Trent University, Birmingham City Employability panel, The Prince’s Trust and the BBC.
