Corporate Social Responsibility
At Pinnacle we take Corporate Social Responsibility very seriously. We feel that how we treat our employees, contractors and community is key to who we are as a business.
We We recognise that most of the Corporate Social Responsibility that we undertake is not a project requirement, we do it because it is the right thing to do, and because working with and encouraging young people in our communities is not only about the company’s future, or our industries future it is about young people and communities building their own futures.
We work closely with York Conservation Trust, National Trust, English Heritage and Yorkshire Churches Day to promote the World of Heritage Conservation and the opportunities available.
