    INCLUSIVE GROWTH

    South Yorkshire is committed to creating a fairer, stronger and greener economy and seeks to maximise the impact on its people and places from all its investments. The intervention rate offered through Skills Bank is determined by a number of factors and potential uplifts. The uplifts reflect the added value which may be attached to businesses who themselves have a broader impact on South Yorkshire and the wellbeing of its citizens. To provide scope for companies to demonstrate their contribution to the broader South Yorkshire economy we have identified four broad headings : South Yorkshire Economic Benefit, Inclusive Employer Practice, Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainability.

    South Yorkshire Economic Benefit

    Q14 Please outline the actions the company has recently taken, or is taking imminently, which will demonstrate its part in supporting the broader South Yorkshire economy highlighting the considered impact those actions are making. Please use one or more of the headings below to respond and clearly describe the actions taken and/or taking. The response to this question will inform the level of support offered through Skills Bank.
    Note: If your application if successful we will require the business to provide an update on the outcomes selected and your response to them in a review following the completion of the training
    A demonstrated commitment to the apprenticeship pathway and imminent recruitment of apprentices helps to support local employment and thereby the local economy.
    Supporting schools with their curriculum, employability skills and promoting entrepreneurship improves the life changes of young people and thereby contributes to the local economy
    The growth of the company which then has a demonstrably positive impact on the supply chain / partners within South Yorkshire will have a multiplier effect for the local economy
    Increased staffing recruited from local populations will have a positive effect on the local economy

    Inclusive Employer Practice

    Q15 Please outline the actions the company is taking, or about to take, which will indicate an active engagement on Inclusive Growth and demonstrates meaningful impact on this agenda. To provide scope for companies to demonstrate their role in Inclusivity we have identified four headings, please use the headings below which are most relevant to your response. The response to this question will inform the level of support offered through Skills Bank
    Note: If your application if successful we will require the business to provide an update on the outcomes selected and your response to them in a review following the completion of the training
    Taking positive steps to enable the recruitment and retention of individuals with a disability demonstrates a commitment to inclusivity.
    Taking positive steps to engage a diverse workforce and have in place clear policies and processes to ensure fair rewards and benefits, opportunity and clear progression routes which are supported demonstrates a commitment to inclusivity.
    Providing work placements for the unemployed and supporting traineeships supports individuals on their career path and contributes to inclusivity.
    STEM ambassadors encourage individuals from diverse backgrounds into careers involving the sciences and are contributing to the inclusivity agenda.

    Corporate Social Responsibility

    Q16 Please outline the actions the company is taking, or about to take, which will indicate an active engagement on the socially responsible agenda and can demonstrate that the company is making a meaningful impact on the wellbeing and communities in the region. To provide scope for companies to demonstrate a commitment to employee welfare and local communities we have provided three headings, please use the headings below which are most relevant to your response. The response to this question will inform the level of support offered through Skills Bank.
    Note: If your application if successful we will require the business to provide an update on the outcomes selected and your response to them in a review following the completion of the training.
    Introducing initiatives to improve the workforce health and mental wellbeing, social and economic mobility demonstrates a commitment to improve the welfare of the workforce.

    Demonstrating the company's direct support of community projects or the support provided to colleagues who volunteer their time & expertise towards community projects demonstrates a commitment to support broader communities

    Sustainability

    Q17 Please outline the actions the company is taking, or about to take, which will indicate an active engagement with the Net Zero agenda and can demonstrate that that the company is making a meaningful impact on its carbon footprint. Please use the headings below which are most relevant to your response. The response to this question will inform the level of support offered through Skills Bank.
    Taking deliberate steps to reduce carbon emissions (carbon released by the company's own processes) and/or utilising carbon capture & storage to reduce carbon emission will benefit the environment and reduce the carbon footprint.
    Taking positive steps to reduce energy consumption by changing processes, smart technology or a shift to green energy will contribute to the national net zero target and the company's green credentials
    Taking positive steps to reduce emissions created by transport both as part of work and travel to work e.g. electric vehicles will benefit the environment and reduce the carbon footprint
    Taking positive steps to reduce waste, landfill, noise and air pollution, and a move towards the circular economy will benefit the environment and reduce carbon emanating from end of life products and waste.
    Investing in carbon offsetting will support the company's journey towards net zero when secured from a well-managed and recognised scheme. The amount of offsetting should equate with the company's carbon footprint.
