We, the undersigned, commit to honour the Armed Forces Covenant and support the Armed Forces Community. We recognise the value Serving Personnel, both Regular and Reservists, Veterans and military families contribute to our business and our country.

The Armed Forces Covenant

An enduring covenant between the people of the United Kingdom, Her Majesty’s Government and all those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces of the Crown and their families

The first duty of Government is the defence of the realm. Our Armed Forces fulfil that responsibility on behalf of the Government, sacrificing some civilian freedoms, facing danger and, sometimes, suffering serious injury or death as a result of their duty. Families also play a vital role in supporting the operational effectiveness of our Armed Forces. In return, the whole nation has a moral obligation to the members of the Naval Service, the Army and the Royal Air Force, together with their families. They deserve our respect and support, and fair treatment.

Those who serve in the Armed Forces, whether Regular or Reserve, those who have served in the past, and their families, should face no disadvantage compared to other citizens in the provision of public and commercial services. Special consideration is appropriate in some cases, especially for those who have given most such as the injured and the bereaved.

This obligation involves the whole of society: it includes voluntary and charitable bodies, private organisations, and the actions of individuals in supporting the Armed Forces. Recognising those who have performed military duty unites the country and demonstrates the value of their contribution. This has no greater expression than in upholding this Covenant.

Section 1: Principles of the Armed Forces Corporate Covenant

1.1 We MEES Solutions Ltd will endeavour in our business dealings to uphold the key principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, which are:

Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment

2.1 MEES Solutions Ltd recognises the value serving personnel, reservists, veterans and military families bring to our business. We will seek to uphold the principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, by pledging to the following:
- Armed Forces Friendly
We also pledge the following:

Actively supporting and promoting Armed Forces events such as the Poppy Appeal and Remembrance Day activities. These are currently marked across our social media channels, and we will expand this by sharing content more widely through our full range of digital marketing platforms. Highlighting the involvement of one of our team members, an ex-Forces employee who participates annually in the Royal British Legion Remembrance Parade. We will use this opportunity to raise awareness and show our continued support for the Armed Forces community. Appointing an Armed Forces Champion within the business, who will lead on outreach efforts, assist with Armed Forces-related fundraising, and serve as a point of contact for internal and external engagement. Continuing to support a team member who serves as a Regional Armed Services Liaison Officer (RASLO) for Alcoholics Anonymous. This role involves supporting the local Armed Forces community in their recovery and sobriety, and we are committed to enabling this important work.

2.2 We will publicise these commitments through our literature and/or on our website, setting out how we will seek to honour them and inviting feedback from the Service community and our customers on how we are doing.
