Our Social Responsibility

Payara believes that having a social responsibility to our team, our community and our environment makes a difference. We work hard… but also play hard and value opportunities to connect with the wider world sharing common goals to make the world a better, healthier and fairer place. Payara supports many initiatives to do this – see our policies to find out what we support and stand up for- but we also try to give back to the world in which we live by interacting with it in positive, meaningful ways. Have a look at the social projects we are involved with, what our team is volunteering for, or to see what we do together to make a difference.

Supported Charity of the Year

The Bumblebee Conservation Trust

The Bumblebee Conservation Trust is an organisation in the UK that makes efforts to monitor and conserve bumblebees and their habitat.

As official BusinessPlus Members of the Bumblebee Conservation Trust, Payara combines financial support and consistent internal awareness raising for the cause throughout the year. The decision to support this charity specifically was made through our annual, company-wide Conservation-Charity-of-the-Year vote to ensure that Payara supports the ecological cause that the majority of Payarans feel most passionate about. Passion, after all, is one of our core values.

Payara hopes this support will spur individual Payarans to make eco-conscious decisions and protect the bumblebees in their areas around the globe!

Our Commitment To Payarans’ Wellbeing

Payara’s vision includes respecting and caring for the individual, supporting them to develop to their full potential. We have established high standards of both physical and mental wellbeing, and therefore we actively encourage all Payarans to take part in, or reflect on, diverse wellbeing activities. We have engaged with the local UK government initiative ‘Worcestershire Works Well’ – an organisation that shares our passion for workplace health and offers advice and accreditation for all forms of wellbeing – from which Payara is proud to have earned accreditation for a proven commitment to our team’s wellbeing.
