Social Responsibility at B&Q
Since 1990 we have taken a positive approach to the challenges that social responsibility presents and have developed solutions that not only address our environmental and social impacts but also add value to our business and its reputation.
Our core values
Environment
Every product we sell at B&Q has its own unique life cycle or story. As such we have a responsibility to ensure that any possible environmental impact is as low as possible during manufacture, use and disposal.
Ethical Trading
It is our duty to ensure that everyone involved in B&Q supply chains benefits from trading with us. Our customers want great products at great prices, but not at the expense of the people who make them. We are committed to sourcing products responsibly.
Diversity
At B&Q we are committed to eliminating all forms of discrimination and ensuring an inclusive environment irrespective of age, gender, marital or civil partnership status, colour, ethnic or national origin, culture, religion, religious belief or similar philosophical belief, disability, political affiliation, gender identity, gender reassignment or sexual orientation.
Community
We have a significant influence on the communities in which we operate, and our aim is for all our stores to be welcomed as 'good neighbours' in the communities that they serve, including the contribution of skills and funding to selected community projects.
