Sole ownership by the Trust ensures that all profits generated from working within the community are either reinvested in the Group or used by the Trust for charitable purposes. The result is a strong business providing local employment, a proactive CSR policy working within the community and a Charitable Trust driving a wider charitable agenda. Our ownership The ownership of the Eric Wright Group by the Charitable Trust has created a unique long-term partnership between the commercial and charitable arms, borne out of a philosophy of social integration that goes beyond corporate social responsibility, enabling the entire organisation to function in the manner of a social enterprise.
