Our ESG Report spotlights Serica’s people-led approach. We are proud to say that our people have taken the mantle of ESG and owned it.
As our business expands, we aim to be employer of choice, so we listen to and empower our people. We operate with an inclusive and positive culture where everyone feels empowered to bring their true selves to work. Our staff-led committees take the lead in community engagement and we also invest in future workforce, with student engagement, and investment in the UK’s world-class apprenticeship scheme.
Investing in the next generation
We recognise the personal and professional value training and development brings. We actively encourage our people to take charge of their personal development with a generous training budget.

investment in training, apprenticeships and further education in 2022
I preferred the idea of a hands-on workplace to 9-5 in an office, so applied for the OPITO apprenticeship. Offshore on the Bruce platform no two days are the same and I am constantly learning, hoping to become a valuable asset to my team. One day I’d love to be OIM
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.
We have a lot of engineers and science-based specialists on our team. As part of our community outreach we have been excited to support Maths Masterclasses, mentor pupils on c.v. writing and interview techniques and coach teams participating in international engineering competitions
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.
Our Charity Committee has done great work in building relationships with local charities, supporting individuals with fundraisers and giving back to places where we operate. 2023 will be about continuing to do this!
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.
2022 has been another progressive year on our D&I Journey. This year our Committee focused on building relationships, increasing awareness and reviewing our practices
