Creating a positive impact in the communities where we work
At ACS, we are committed to creating a positive impact in the communities where we work. We believe that construction is not just about building structures but also about building relationships and improving the lives of the people around us. Our dedication to social value is at the heart of every project we undertake, as we actively give back to the local areas in a variety of meaningful ways.
Supporting Local Charities
We proudly support two local charities that are close to our headquarters in London: Electric Umbrella and Rural Care. Electric Umbrella provides invaluable support and respite for adults with learning disabilities, helping them lead fulfilling lives. Rural Care works to empower disabled adults by providing vocational training and job opportunities, ensuring they have the skills to thrive in the workplace. Through donations and volunteer efforts, ACS helps these organisations continue their vital work within the community.
Investing in Local Communities
ACS goes beyond just building – we believe in investing in the local economy. We prioritise sourcing materials from local suppliers, which not only reduces our environmental impact but also supports local businesses and creates jobs. We also make a point of employing local residents, ensuring that our projects provide direct employment opportunities for people in the surrounding areas.
Community Engagement and Education
As part of our commitment to social value, ACS opens its doors to local schools and colleges, offering site tours for students studying construction-related courses. These tours provide valuable hands-on learning experiences, allowing the next generation of builders, architects, and engineers to gain insight into the real-world applications of their studies. We believe in nurturing young talent and inspiring them to pursue careers in the construction industry.
Making a tangible difference in the lives of those less fortunate
Helping Those in Need
ACS is also dedicated to supporting vulnerable members of the community. We regularly collaborate with nearby homeless shelters to offer our time, resources, and expertise, helping to provide shelter, food, and other essential services to those who need it most. Our team is passionate about making a tangible difference in the lives of those less fortunate.
Through these initiatives and many more, ACS strives to create a lasting and positive legacy in every community we work in. By prioritising social value, we ensure that our construction projects not only transform the physical landscape but also enrich the lives of the people who live and work there.
