Corporate Social Responsibility old

Lincad is a family-owned business, and the ethos of the company is one of valuing and nurturing employees and taking as much care of the wider environment as possible. We take our company values seriously and believe it is possible to be both profitable and ethical in today’s climate as long as you have the right Company culture.

Employee welfare

Employee welfare is at the heart of what we do.  Lincad takes pride in strong employee relationships, indeed the health, safety and wellbeing of our employees has been paramount to our success.

Lincad is a Living Wage Employer, and we offer our staff flexible working policies and a range of employee benefits. We also take care of our employees physically with a scheme giving payments towards gym membership and membership of the Government bike to work scheme.

As well as Christmas parties and other social events, we host an annual Summer party for all staff and their families which is always well attended, is a great chance for us all to meet socially and encourages the family atmosphere.

Links with local universities and Further Education colleges

Over the years, Lincad has sponsored many employees to complete further education including taking degrees and HNDs. We pay for the college fees and also give them paid time off to study.  We have also taken a number of students from Surrey University on a years’ placement as part of their Engineering degrees.  This has been very successful for us and something we hope to continue.

Sustainability and the environment

Lincad is committed to being as sustainable as possible. We have implemented several environmental measures to reduce our carbon emissions from operations, including the installation of a 50kW solar PV system, new recycling measures around the business and LED lighting across the facility. We are installing an electric car charging point on our premises.

Ethical trading

With the rapid global growth in cell manufacturing capacity over recent years, Lincad carries out due diligence on suppliers to ensure the avoidance of conflict minerals and counterfeit goods in the supply chains. Where it is practicable to do so, Lincad aims to source locally from the original manufacturer to improve supply chain management. Post COVID 19 this will become more important as the UK begins to build and recover from the pandemic and we are committed to sourcing as much as practicable from the UK.
