Our Support of Salford Mayor’s Charter
We are proud to announce that EDGE Energy Performance has become a supporter of the Salford City Mayor's Charter for Employment Standards. This initiative aligns perfectly with our commitment to raising employment standards and creating a positive impact in the community. Together, let's raise standards and make a difference.
The Charter contains a suite of pledges focused on three key categories: investing in the local workforce, being an equal and inclusive employer, and setting the standard for excellent working practices and conditions. Here’s how EDGE Energy Performance will contribute:
Investing in the Local Workforce
We are dedicated to creating training and employment opportunities for Salford residents, particularly those facing the greatest disadvantages. As a Charter mark employer, we pledge to:
Employ Local People: Create and provide employment opportunities for Salford residents, ensuring that our workforce reflects the community we serve.
Develop a Skilled Workforce: Offer training, work experience, and apprenticeship opportunities to Salford residents, helping to build a skilled and capable workforce.

Promote Equalities and Address Discrimination: Ensure robust policies and practices are in place to promote equality and proactively address discrimination within our workforce.
Provide Opportunities for Diverse Communities: Ensure our recruitment and HR practices connect residents from Salford's diverse communities to the opportunities we offer.
Reinforce Good Practice in the Supply Chain: Respect the diversity of Salford communities through responsible business activities and encourage good practices around equalities and diversity in our supply chain.
Setting the Standard
