At Beaver Pest Control, we’re not just in the business of pest control—we’re in the business of caring for our communities, our planet, and each other. Our everyday work is fueled by a genuine passion to create real, positive change, and our Social Value Policy is the friendly blueprint that guides us every step of the way.
In this blog, we’d like to share how our six key pillars shape our culture and community impact, all while keeping things down-to-earth and relatable.
Building Strong Community Connections
We believe that a thriving community starts with real, heartfelt connections.
Getting Involved Locally: We love partnering with local organisations—from housing associations to schools and charities—to help meet the needs of our neighbours. Whether it’s supporting local events or contributing to causes that matter, our community work is all about making a tangible difference. You can learn more about our community efforts on our CSR page .
Giving Back: Our charitable contributions aren’t just about donations; they’re about listening to what matters most to our customers and employees. By supporting carefully chosen causes, we help address everyday challenges and celebrate local successes.
Caring for Our Environment
Every little step counts when it comes to protecting our planet.
- Smart, Sustainable Practices: We’re committed to reducing pesticide use and embracing smarter, eco-friendly techniques like the IERDC approach (Inspection, Exclusion, Restriction, Destruction, and Communication). These practices not only protect the environment but also make our work safer and more efficient.
- Reducing Waste Together: From recycling uniforms to minimising office waste, we work closely with our suppliers to reduce our environmental footprint. Our goal of reaching net zero emissions by 2050 is a team effort that starts with simple, everyday actions. Find out more about our green initiatives on our Sustainability Commitment page .
Spreading Knowledge and Awareness
We’re all about sharing ideas and learning from one another.
Hands-On Workshops: We host practical workshops where community members can learn everything from pest prevention tips to the basics of biodiversity and sustainability. It’s all about empowering you with knowledge that makes a difference at home and beyond.
Partnering with Educators:Â By teaming up with schools, colleges, and community centres, we help spark curiosity and encourage sustainable practices among people of all ages.
Prioritising Our People
At the heart of everything we do are the people who make it possible.
- Wellbeing Comes First: We offer flexible working arrangements, wellness programs, and support systems like mental health resources, ensuring that our team feels cared for every day.
- Growing Together: With training programs and clear career pathways, we invest in our employees’ futures, helping them build the skills they need to succeed.
Doing Business the Right Way
Integrity and transparency are at the core of our work.
- Honest and Fair: From clear supplier contracts to open communication, we hold ourselves to high standards of fairness.
- Safety and Accountability: We take our responsibilities seriously, maintaining strict health and safety standards and a zero-tolerance approach to corruption. This means every decision is made with care and a focus on doing what’s right for everyone involved.
A Journey of Continuous Improvement
Our commitment to social value isn’t a one-off—it’s a journey. Every year, we review our Social Value Policy to make sure we’re meeting community needs, staying on top of industry best practices, and continuously improving our approach. We’re in this together, every step of the way.
