Our responsibility

Corporate responsibility is pivotal to our business

It's important that we reflect our company values within the community, and for a business of our size and scale, that we leverage this to make a positive impact where we can.

I am proud to have led the Community Team in various initiatives over the years, and we are forever welcoming new ideas to improve our employee engagement, wellbeing and community give-back. Almost every month welcomes a new event or challenge to take part in for our Community. Over the last couple of years we have seen more and more of our employees join in and feel the benefit of engaging and taking part in such events. I can’t wait to see what the future holds.

We support our employees

As a Disability Confident Committed employer, we have committed to ensuring our recruitment process is inclusive and accessible for all. Those with a disability or long-term health condition will be provided with the support they need, enabling them to stay in work throughout their career with us.

We’re also committed to supporting our employees at every stage of their career. That’s why we have signed up to the Menopause Workplace Pledge. Women’s health matters, and Menopause isn’t often talked about at work, but it’s where people can find their symptoms most difficult to manage. By making our workplace supportive when it comes to the menopause, we can help our employees' wellbeing, ensuring an inclusive workforce, and an increase in our productivity. Everyone benefits!

Community events

One of our values, Integrity, is an important focus for AFH. We believe in doing the right thing and over the past 4 years, our Community have raised over £60,000 for various charities including; Alzheimer’s Society, Crisis, Mind and, most recently, Birmingham Women’s Hospital, where we raised over £31k in 2023 alone.

Fundraising is not only a chance to give back, but to get all of our community involved in rewarding events such as; quiz nights, raffles, sky dives, fancy dress and survival challenges. These events give the office atmosphere a real buzz and sense of community feeling.

Helping the environment

At AFH we care about our planet and the world that future generations will inherit. So we're committed to reducing our impact on the environment.

We're transferring to green energy in all our offices and we recycle as much as possible. 

Hybrid working reduces our travel to and from the office and we utilise MS Teams to replace some business travel.

To reduce printing, we use ‘follow me’ within our offices, offer a ‘go paperless’ alternative for all our clients, and are continuing to move more of our communication on to digital.
