Join us at our recent London Build event, where we joined forces with our social impact partners, The Washing Machine Project, to successfully assemble nine life-changing 'Divya 1.65 flat-pack' washing machines. 🙌 From this batch, five of these machines are set to be sent to Shangilia, a school dedicated to providing support for street children in Nairobi, Kenya. Additionally, three machines will be making their way to an orphanage in Mombasa, Kenya. Lastly, the remaining machine will be delivered to a women's empowerment group in Liberia, renowned for their incredible work in crafting reusable sanitary pads for women and girls within their community. #TheWashingMachineProject #Divya #LondonBuild #WeAreRS #MakingAmazingHappen #ForABetterWorld
We believe that promoting diversity and inclusion within our own business and across our value chain leads to greater innovation, better decision making and ensures we can recruit and retain top talent to our industry. We've set specific diversity targets to ensure our team reflects the communities we serve by working towards 40% of our leaders being women and 25% ethnically diverse by 2030. We also ask our supplier partners to prioritise diversity and inclusion within their own businesses and sourcing programmes with their suppliers. As part of this commitment, we have established our first supplier diversity and inclusion programme within the RS Integrated Supply business in the US. We have chosen to start in the US as supplier diversity within procurement is already a mature and best practice approach there due to supporting regulation. It is also a high priority for our customers. Our aim is to provide opportunities to businesses that have historically been underrepresented in global supply chains by making it easier for them to partner with us. By working with small, disadvantaged, women-owned, ethnically diverse, and other underrepresented businesses we are building stronger and more diverse supply chains, which ultimately helps to create more equal communities and resilient local economies. #WeAreRS #SupplyChain #Diversity #RSGroupPLC

We’ve got some great news to share, as we have won the award for Best Company for Sustainability Reporting within the Industrials sector at the Corporate ESG Awards 2023. Awards categories were assessed by a panel of independent judges comprising of sustainability professionals in the financial markets, academics and independent experts.

I believe this is testament to the strong progress we have made since launching our 2030 ESG action plan in November 2021. "Our 2030 environment, social, and governance (ESG) action plan is fundamental to our purpose, strategy and decision-making and is key to driving greater long-term value for all our stakeholders including our people, customers and suppliers. "Over the last year, we have focused our attention on how we can harness our knowledge, expertise, products and service solutions to help our customers and suppliers on their ESG journeys and I am delighted that our communication of this progress is being recognised within the investor community.’’ We would like to congratulate all of our fellow nominees and winners!

Sunday 10th September was 2023's Suicide Prevention Day! We're sharing an incredible story from our RS Family to help raise awareness this Suicide Prevention Day. ❤️ It comes from two colleagues, Jenny and Stuart, who virtually met on LinkedIn, before Stuart joined RS. Stuart noticed that Jenny had commented on a mental health page that she followed; who were advertising mental health awareness pins, which she wanted to get for her 15-year-old, Izzy, who had suffered with mental health. Jenny shared "I couldn’t risk getting something like a pin, so wanted to know if they did a magnet version." "When Stuart joined RS in December, he came to me and said he had something for me… he had ordered the pins, removed the pin and converted them to magnets!" She added, "I do believe this act of kindness has helped Izzy to be open about her mental health even more and realize she can have a future and dream big." A truly inspiring story from our RS Family, thank you to Jenny, Izzy and Stuart for allowing us to share & help to raise awareness. 🙌 Find out more about World Suicide Prevention Day and how you can help to raise awareness: https://weare.rs/461GLvi International Suicide Hotlines: https://weare.rs/45WW0Wq #RSFamily #WeAreRS #OurPeople #MentalHealthAwareness
