eaga in the Community
eaga is a people business with more than 4,000 Partners (employees) committed to delivering outstanding service to its customers. Central to our success is our commitment to the principles of employee ownership (Partnership) and a strong set of corporate and social values. The company’s Partnership ethos underpins our approach to business and how we interact with the local communities in which its employees live and work.
eaga was founded to lead government funded efforts to improve the living conditions of vulnerable people living in cold, damp and energy inefficient homes. More than £3m has been invested in the independent Eaga Partnership Charitable Trust and funded vital research into solutions to fuel poverty. Local community organisations, charities, schools and individuals can also apply for funding from the eaga Community Foundation fund which supports projects related to the environment and education in the local communities in which eaga’s employees live and work.
Working to deliver key central and local government contracts, eaga is uniquely positioned both at the heart of policymaking and at the front-end delivery of social improvement programmes in some of the most vulnerable communities in the UK. eaga’s Partners are engaged in making a difference to people’s lives on a daily basis.
eaga is an active member of Business in the Community and the Newcastle Gateshead Initiative. The company is also a member of Business in the Community's Percent Club. The Percent Standard is a voluntary benchmark, measuring the contributions made by companies though cash donations, staff time, gifts in kind and management time, shown as a percentage of pre-tax profits.
eaga has a policy of encouraging Partners to get involved in supporting its local communities, backed up by company funded time off for volunteering. The company works with the Prince's Trust and the School Governor's One Stop Shop to recruit school governors and Princes Trust mentors from its workforce. Partners are also encouraged to give to charities of their choice through payroll giving.
