Working towards a sustainable future
Corporate social responsibility
We are advocates for corporate social responsibility and embrace a desire to help make people’s lives better.
We are committed to a 5-year plan to actively reduce our carbon and address wider sustainability.
We are currently carbon neutral for energy use, company vehicles, flights, and waste streams.
We will continue to work towards being climate positive by offsetting more carbon than we produce.
Additionally, we offset our employees’ carbon.
Having a positive impact is important to us.
We understand that as a business and as a group of individuals, what we do and how we do it has a consequence on people’s lives, now and in the future. We have long been advocates for corporate social responsibility. We regularly support local initiatives in our community, whether that be local charities or particular projects that help to make people’s lives better.
Our Employees
Being a large employer of people also has a great influence on the health and wellbeing of the community. We are proud not only to be a Real Living Wage Employer, but also ensuring our staff have access to a great work environment and such things as mental health support and training.
We are committed to providing a comprehensive mental health support service to our people, and 19 colleagues at our Hellaby site are now formally trained as mental health first aiders and responders.
We take pride in making our work environment safe, fun and fulfilling. Perhaps that’s why the average length of service at Parseq is an amazing 10 years! You can find out more about life working at Parseq in the Careers section.
Our Planet
Working towards a sustainable future
“I am committed to driving down our carbon emissions and addressing the wider impact we have on the environment. That’s why we are working on a comprehensive five year sustainability plan with environmental auditors. This will include a full ‘lifecycle assessment’ of our supply chain and raw materials, operations, energy, maintenance, transportation, and waste management. We will devise concrete plans to address these and pledge to significantly reduce our impact in these areas by the end of 2028.”
Offsetting
Working towards a sustainable future
Parseq is carbon neutral for energy use, company vehicles, flights, and waste streams. We are further committed to becoming carbon positive to support the Government’s target of the UK being Carbon Net Zero by 2050* and as part of a collective environmental mission to reduce 50% of global CO2 emissions by 2040.
This means not only will we offset all the carbon we as a company produce in the course of our work and operations, but we will fund more to create a positive contribution to reducing C02 emissions.
Additionally, through Ecologi, we offset a large proportion of the carbon our employees produce during the course of their general living, food, hobbies and holidays, enabling a ‘Carbon Friendly Workforce’. We also have employee initiatives like Bike to Work and Lift Share to help our employees further reduce their carbon footprints.

Some of the carbon projects we support
We fund the planting of native and diverse trees in Madagascar, Mozambique, Nicaragua, Kenya and Uganda. The planting projects are carried out by Ecologi’s partners Eden Reforestation.
The climate projects we help to fund include renewable energy generation, forest protection, and community initiatives such as providing access to clean water.
