Corporate Social Responsibility
At Landsker, our Corporate Social Responsibility is deeply ingrained in our values, and we are thrilled to share with you our initiatives. Each year, the Landsker team nominates charities close to our hearts, causes that truly resonate with us. After careful consideration and a voting process involving all staff members, we proudly select our Charity of the Year.
Our approach to Corporate Social Responsibility is woven into the very fabric of our organisation. Our core values guide us in making a meaningful impact on the community around us, as well as encouraging us to work to the best of our abilities. We continuously act responsibly to help our clients make the best business decisions.
Our Charity of the year, The DPJ Foundation
Our Charity for the year 2023/24 is the DPJ Foundation, their mission is to share the load and provide vital support to individuals in the agricultural sector who are facing challenges with their mental health. We are particularly passionate about this cause as we regularly work with farmers through our Farming Connect projects.
By partnering with the DPJ Foundation, we aim to make a tangible difference in the lives of those who contribute so much to our communities.
Throughout 2023/24, all fundraising activities undertaken by the Landsker team will directly support the DPJ Foundation. In addition, we empower our team members to personally contribute by offering each of them an annual paid volunteer day. On this day, they can participate in activities of their choice, allowing them to show their personal support for this fantastic cause. Landsker is also assisting DPJ to become more business like and successful in how it grows and operates the charity.
We invited Kay from the DPJ Foundation to join us at one of our regular staff learning days to give us an insight into the charity.
⠀
Kay spoke about the services which the DPJ Foundation provides to anybody in the agricultural sector, including their Share the Load helpline, counselling service and bereavement support. Our team really benefited from learning about the symptoms which could indicate anxiety, depression or suicide which really improved our mental health awareness.

We would highly recommend this training session to other likeminded businesses!
