Social value has always been part of Shield Services Group’s DNA. Since our inception, supporting good causes, helping the disadvantaged, and giving back to the communities we work in has been central to the way we operate.
As we move into 2026, we’re strengthening our commitment even further.
Since 2021, Shield has actively measured and tracked all social value activity, ensuring transparency and real impact across our offices and project locations. This includes charitable donations, fundraising initiatives, free community works, apprenticeships, and volunteering hours donated by our teams.
In 2026, our focus includes:
-
Supporting local and national charities
-
Running staff-led fundraisers and initiatives
-
Sponsoring local sports teams and community clubs
-
Creating opportunities for school leavers, apprentices, and trainees
Social value isn’t a box-ticking exercise for us, it reflects the family-led values that define Shield. Whether it’s removing asbestos free of charge for a school, raising funds through Shield 50, or sponsoring grassroots initiatives, we believe businesses have a responsibility to contribute positively.
Clients increasingly value working with contractors who demonstrate ethical responsibility and community impact. By choosing Shield, clients partner with a company that delivers not only technical excellence but meaningful social contribution.
