SR2 – Socially Responsible Recruitment

SR2 is a B Corp-certified, community-focused IT recruitment company operating within the IT space. It approaches the business with a focus on its social, corporate and environmental responsibility.

• The business has committed to making two financial donations a year to underrepresented charities, equalling 5% of its profits. SR2 also encourages volunteering, with each member of the SR2 team committing to at least two days a year of their time to local community projects. In its fifth year of operation, it has made donations of more than £250k and 1,200+ hours of volunteering to under-represented local charities in Bristol and beyond.
• SR2 donations make a significant impact in its communities with an example being Young Bristol, which received over £50k from the company. Young Bristol used the funds to build an SR2 Media Suite, which enabled youths in the under-privileged areas of Bristol to get access to computers and the internet.
