Corporate Social Responsibility

At L&M Plus Consulting, we believe that the actions of businesses have a significant impact on the lives of people not only in their local areas, but far beyond; not just in terms of the products and services they offer or the jobs and opportunities they create, but also in terms of working conditions, human rights, health, the environment, innovation, education, training and community development.

L&M Plus Consulting is a signatory to the Worldwide Charter for Fair International Commerce. This reflects our commitment to promote sustainable and positive business practices with respect to social and environmental values, reflecting the core values of the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights, labour conventions of the International Labour Organisation (ILO) and other internationally recognised principles.

As a signatory to the Armed Forces Covenant we are offering a 50% discount to members of the Armed Forces Community (personnel past and present, and their immediate families) for talking therapies, personal development, career coaching and skills development training. You can find a copy of our company’s pledge document here.

We support the UN’S Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and participate in the Green Impact sustainability and social responsibility scheme designed to support businesses across the Isle of Wight to improve their environmental performance and reduce operational costs, whilst making the Island a cleaner greener and more attractive place to live, work and do business. Following a robust audit, we received our Silver Award certificate for achieving a Silver Standard in 2020/2021. All electricity that we use comes from 100% renewable sources like sun, wind and water.

We partner with non-profit organisations on the Isle of Wight, UK and worldwide to support sustainable community development and civil society initiatives by sharing our expert knowledge and skills. For a number of years our Founder and Director Zoryna O’Donnell has worked with Community Action Isle of Wight to deliver free training courses for representatives of non-profit organisations on the Isle of Wight.

Since 2017, as an expert in local government and community development, Zoryna contributed to a number of projects funded by the UK Embassy in Ukraine as part of their wider programme of support to the reform of decentralisation in Ukraine.
