Corporate social responsibility
Page Content
ICG operates a corporate Give As You Earn scheme and encourages employees to give their time to charities. To support this each employee has two paid days a year for direct charity involvement.
During the course of the year around a third of our staff donated their time to local charities by participating in ICG Challenge Days.
As a corporate citizen we are continually considering ways in which we can reduce our impact on the environment.
