Our Social Value
At NRG, creating social value is embedded in everything we do. We are committed to making a lasting, positive impact by supporting initiatives that drive economic, social, and environmental progress in the communities we serve.
Diversity, Inclusion, & Belonging
We foster inclusive workplaces where everyone feels they belong. Our Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging in the North East LinkedIn group brings regional businesses together to share learning, tackle barriers, and drive inclusive change across our region.
World of Work
We are passionate about helping young people prepare for their future careers. Through our World of Work programme, we offer employability support to secondary school students, including mentoring, CV advice, and interview preparation, helping to bridge the gap between education and employment.
Charity and Community Engagement
We are proud to support Smart Works Newcastle and Suitability by Society Matters CIC. These partnerships provide practical support for individuals preparing to re-enter the workplace, including interview coaching, mentoring, and clothing donations. Our Head Office is home to one of the region’s first external donation stations, helping to expand access to these vital services.
Inclusive Recruitment Practices
We champion inclusive hiring processes that remove bias and promote equity. This includes anonymised CV screening, inclusive language in job adverts, and multi-channel attraction strategies tailored to reach underrepresented talent. We also support clients in building inclusive employer brands that resonate with today’s diverse workforce.
Disability Confident Employer
As a Disability Confident Committed employer, we ensure our recruitment practices are accessible, fair, and inclusive. Our team receives ongoing training in equal opportunities and participates in lived experience sessions to deepen understanding and improve outcomes for disabled candidates.
Diversity Reporting
We provide clients with data-driven insights to shape inclusive recruitment strategies and identify opportunities for improvement. Through regular diversity reporting, we help organisations monitor representation, address inequalities, and build more equitable hiring outcomes.
