Social Sustainability
Social sustainability describes the idea that future generations should have the same or greater access to social resources as the current generation, as well as equal access to social resources within the current generation.
Public sector organisations have been encouraged to consider the wider issues of engaging with their suppliers and providers in widening the scope and effectiveness of social sustainability.
In support of its Public Sector clients, LHC and its Appointed Companies are committed to delivering social sustainability through LHC framework arrangements, by ensuring that we have policies that address the following.
Social inclusion
LHC companies maintain employment policies that address the development of committed, skilled and adaptable workforces that have support for personal development and training, working in safe and healthy environments. Companies are also encouraged to provide non-business support for their workforce.
LHC companies address local issues, by employing local labour and providing suitable training. They are encouraged to support local economies through local supply chains, SMEs, long-term partnerships and strategic partnerships and provide for local involvement and support for schools, action trusts and community initiatives.
Equality and Diversity
LHC companies maintain policies that address inequalities and barriers faced by employees, customers and residents in under-represented groups, by valuing, learning and benefiting from diverse cultures in their staff and society.
