Our ESG Report demonstrates the importance of working together and the impact that people and strong partnerships can make.
At Serica we pride ourselves on our inclusive culture and actively encourage people to get involved, be open and share their knowledge and experience. Our staff-led committees take the lead in community engagement, working with charities, schools and universities. We offer student placements and invest in developing our people and a world class apprenticeship scheme through Opito.
This committee promotes energy and STEM education in schools, universities, peer organisations and energy institutions. They also decided to support local schools and clubs with provision of learning and sporting equipment.
The education committee starts with supporting young people and finishes with developing our employees, engaging with many initiatives in between. It’s been a fantastic year for Serica and we are fully committed to delivering more
Key Education Partners
We encourage and help Serica staff to give back to their communities and this committee supports charities throughout our local communities and those with special meaning for our staff or contractors. As a company we focused our efforts on helping specific charities.
In 2025, we plan to continue to maximise our impact in the local community by developing our strong partnership network and expanding our engagement activities across London. Additionally, we will continue to support our staff and communities, through volunteering, fundraising and donations. We have a range of fundraising events planned from running to taking part in a sleep out!
Key Charity Partners
Our D&I strategy aims to develop a company culture that is inclusive and attracts diversity. As well as being the right thing to do, this benefits our organisation, bringing diversity of thought and experience to empower, educate and enrich our business. Our Equal Opportunities and Dignity at Work policy commits to providing equal opportunities to all employees or candidates, regardless of age, disability, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, race, nationality or ethnic origin.
As the new D&I Chair, I am excited to continue building on the strong success we’ve achieved in recent years – success that inspired me to join the Company and now the Committee. By continuing to champion diversity and inclusion, we ensure that every voice is heard, valued, and contributes to our shared success, making Serica a place where people not only excel, but truly enjoy coming to work every day.
Key D&I Partners
We actively promote our industry to service leavers who may not have considered a career in the energy industry before but who’s skillsets match up well with the roles and lifestyles our industry can offer.
Serica is a founding member of the Offshore Energies UK Industry Armed Forces Forum which aims to bring together member companies from all sectors of the energy industry and its supply chain to promote the Armed Forces Covenant, share best practices and jointly promote career opportunities.
Serica is proud to support our armed forces and by reaching the Gold Award status of the Employers Recognition Scheme, under the Armed Forces Covenant, we have strengthened that commitment. We set up our Armed Forces Support Group to recognise those working in our organisation who have links to the military (whether that be veterans, reservists or those with family members serving)
