Our award winning Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programme plays an important role within our company, and has already raised thousands for our chosen charities. Every year our staff nominate a charity that is near to their hearts, and we undertake a whole host of fundraising activities to support this good cause.

We also conduct a successful apprenticeship project with a local school. Based on the concept of the popular BBC show, the children are encouraged to develop business ideas and present them to Sapphire’s CEO.

The programme has previously won The Lord Mayor of London’s Heart of the City Award.
