Our customers need us to stay one-step ahead. We invest heavily in our people to enhance their personal development and growth through world-class training.

We do all we can to support young talent. Structured internal and external training is coupled with exciting opportunities for growth within our business.

Sustainability is the touchpoint that underpins every element of our work at WRc.

Our sustainable approach to business is focussed on four key areas.

People & Ethics
Customers & Suppliers
Sustainable Innovation
Environment & Communities

People & Ethics

Our people are the most valuable element of our business. We are committed to providing a safe, healthy and inclusive workplace where our employees can be themselves and achieve their full potential. Our culture is nurturing, inclusive and flexible and two-way communication is encouraged at every level. Our business will be stronger and more successful if we value the contributions of everyone equally.

Sustainable Innovation

Innovation is embedded into how we think, act, and grow. We have created a working culture in which change is welcomed, different perspectives are encouraged and innovative thinking is a state-of-mind. In doing so, we’re able to be even more responsive to global trends and challenges.

Environment & Communities

Much of our work is about delivering long-term environmental impacts. We take great pride in the active role that we play in helping customers to protect the natural world, make better and more efficient use natural resources and transition to the low-carbon economy. Within our own operations, we are working hard to minimise our own impacts and make positive contributions to our local communities.

Responding to global challenges

The trends and challenges which shape our future sometimes seem vast and overwhelming. However, if we put our energies and trust into a powerful combination of determination, supply-chain collaboration and innovation, we can make the world a better and more sustainable place for future generations. We believe that there are many reasons to be optimistic. Working together with our customers from the regulated industries, government and industry as well as partners in academia and science, our world-class solutions offer answers to some of the greatest challenges we face.

Aligning with the UN's Sustainable Development Goals

We support the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). They help us to understand where our work makes a difference. They also act as guiding principles for our business and our services and product innovation roadmap. We touch all of the SDGs through our operations, our work, our research and our strategic vision. However, we have identified the SDGs where we make the most impact. Find out more about how our services and solutions align with the SDGs.
