Corporate Social Responsibility HomeAboutCorporate Social Responsibility We have four core values which inform every single decision made at the company. People Our high-quality services would be impossible without our highly motivated people. Our team is always seeking to innovate, improve services, and safeguard the high standards that we hold ourselves to. Environment We are committed to conserving natural resources and protecting the environment. Through our continual investment in innovative systems, we are striving to maintain the lowest carbon footprint possible. Quality Our reputation is built on quality and this is something we strive for daily. Ensuring outstanding quality and excellence in all aspects of what we do is a cornerstone of our business, products, and service delivery. Integrity Caring for our people, local communities, and the planet is at our core and embedded into the DNA of College Group. We are honest, ethical, and fair because integrity underpins everything that we do. We have a range of CSR projects at College Group and are very involved in community life. Some of our initiatives are: Education Since 2017, we have awarded an annual further education bursary to support emerging talent in our community. The bursary is administered by Louth & Meath Education & Training Board and awarded to a leaving certificate student from O’Carolan College. An independent panel of retired educators selects a promising student to receive a fund of €16,000 towards their third-level education. Previous recipients are Liam Mannion (studying Science – Mathematical, Physical and Geographical), Nicole Glass (studying Science), and Rachael Sheenan (studying to become a primary school teacher). We aim to provide more than just financial support as part of the bursary, which is why we were delighted to welcome Liam for a work experience placement at College Group. John Gilroy (CEO, College Group) with Rachel Sheehan Sport Several of our employees are closely involved with local clubs, so supporting sports activities is a natural fit for us. We have a three-year sponsorship agreement with Kingscourt Harps AFC, a former FAI Soccer Club of the Year winner. We support the Moynalty team and are the main sponsor for Nobber GFC, which is also the team one of our engineer apprentices plays for. Whether in official roles such as team coach or committee member, or simply as enthusiastic spectators, we love encouraging our community’s sporting talent! Nobber GFC team with John Gilroy (CEO) and Riona Gilroy (Operations Manager) Village Life We regularly contribute to village life; for instance, with our five-year sponsorship of Christmas lights and decorations in Nobber village, and the iPads we donated to the Nobber Friendship Club to help combat isolation and improve access to online services and conveniences. We’re involved in a variety of events, such as Christmas concerts, Nobber Fair Day and a fundraising Strictly Come Dancing in aid of the GAA. We also helped the primary school with a drama stage. Initiatives like these are very important to the entire team.
