Corporate Social Responsibility

Lincad values and nurtures its employees and takes 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 correct company culture.

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

We are a Living Wage Employer offering our staff flexible working policies plus a range of employee benefits. We also take care of our employee’s physical health by offering gym membership and government ‘bike to work’ schemes.

Links with local education

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 the students paid time off to study.

We have taken a number of students from Surrey University on a years’ placement as part of their Engineering degrees which has proved to be very successful for us and something we intend to continue.

Links with the local community

Lincad continues to help many charities in the local Surrey and Hampshire areas including donations for Princess Alice Hospice, Frimley Park Breast Cancer Charity, Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice Care and the Camberley All Night Café which helps homeless people, many of whom are ex- servicemen and women.

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.

In 2022, we installed an electric car charging point in our car park, introduced a salary sacrifice scheme which allows our staff to lease an electric car through the company and achieved ISO 14001 accreditation demonstrating our ‘green’ credentials.

Ethical trading

With the rapid global growth in cell manufacturing capacity over recent years, we carry out due diligence of our suppliers to ensure the avoidance of conflict minerals and counterfeit goods in the supply chain.

We aim to source locally from the original manufacturer to improve supply chain management where it is practicable to do so. As the UK begins to build and recover from the Covid 19 pandemic we are committed to sourcing as much as we can from UK suppliers.
