Corporate Social Responsibility activities in an effort to:

HOLT
consultancy continually identifies CSR activities in line with our policy and
encourages employees to participate.
Promoting Education and Skills
Employees - we want our employees to enjoy their work, feel challenged and
have opportunities for development. To this end we have introduced Continuing
Professional Development of 35 hours per year. This means our staff take time out
to attend relevant conferences and events and sit professional exams, supported
by HOLT consultancy.
Interns – we provide opportunities for a student with an interest in
compliance to join us as a Compliance Intern to get involved in all aspects of
our business.
Schools – HOLT consultancy are sponsors of the F1 in Schools initiative
and take time out each year to help students to design, manufacture and test a
compressed air powered balsa wood F1 car.
Clients – we want our clients to have a good reputation and have a good
relationship with their regulator. We provide tools, training and mentoring
that help our clients to understand the importance of maintaining stability
within the financial sector through compliance and AML.
Supporting Health and Wellbeing
Helping
others - we want our employees
to be able to help others in an emergency, should the need arise. To this end,
our employees are trained in Heart Saver First Aid CPR and Fire Safety.
Staying
healthy - exercise is important
for the well-being of our employees. We actively encourage training and
exercise and staff have access to a swimming pool and gym.
Fundraising - we encourage fund raising events, particularly those that
involve exercise, e.g. football matches, marathons, walking, fun-runs. Our
staff took part in the Standard Chartered marathon, Standard Chartered
10km walk and the 5km Darkness into Light walk for mental health awareness in
2017.
Donating
and volunteering - DIFC regularly
encourages firms in the DIFC to take part in its CSR initiatives and we are
committed to supporting its ongoing efforts. In 2017 we were involved in the
Eliminate the Thirst Campaign where we handed out bottles of water to workers
around the DIFC area and the Donate Clothes for Humanity campaign where our
team donated clothes and shoes.
Reducing
our Environmental Impact
HOLT
consultancy is a small company but understands that every company should take
action to conserve energy and resources.
Our
office policy requires staff to turn off PCs, monitors and printers at the end
of each working day.
Our
company recycles paper including shredded paper. This is collected by InfoFort
who provide a free collection service through their GreenBox service.
We
ask that staff keep printing to a minimum.
