​

At Interval Group (hereafter 'Interval'), we recognise our responsibility to contribute positively to the wider community. We believe that social, environmental and ethical considerations are integral to fostering a sustainable, long-term business.

We emphasise to our team that being part of Interval means also being a valued member of society. Our team members are passionate about people and eager to support initiatives that benefit the community.

​

Interval supports staff in making their own personal choices, including political affiliations, participation in the democratic process and financial contributions to worthy charities and community projects. While Interval actively encourages these activities, it does not undertake them on behalf of its employees. Interval remains politically neutral and does not make political donations or significant charitable grants.

​

Our general policies are outlined below.

​

(a) Environmental policy

As a service-oriented business, Interval's operations naturally have a lower environmental impact than those in other sectors. Nonetheless, we are committed to minimising our environmental footprint and follow recommendations from the Carbon Trust to reduce our carbon emissions. Interval's environmental policy includes commitments to:

• Working practices: Operating with a small physical footprint. Most of our people work remotely or directly at our clients' premises, which reduces the energy, waste and commuting impact associated with larger office space.

• Travel: Keeping business travel to what is necessary, and using video conferencing and webinars in preference to travelling.

• Digital by default: Working digitally rather than on paper, including electronic contracts, signatures and records.

• Technology: Using cloud services rather than dedicated private infrastructure, and extending the working life of devices before replacement.

• Waste: Encouraging responsible disposal and recycling of equipment and materials at the end of their useful life.

• Procurement: Ensuring that our procurement processes aim to reduce Interval's carbon footprint wherever feasible, and taking suppliers' environmental standards into account.

 

In line with the UK's Net Zero Strategy and PPN 06/21, we have published our Carbon Reduction Plan (last updated: 29/09/2026).

​

(b) Charitable, political and community engagement

Many of our team members actively participate in community projects, charitable activities and volunteering.

 

Examples include:

• UK and Ireland: Supporting charities such as Macmillan Cancer Support, Mind, LOROS, Pain UK, Motor Neurone Disease Association, The Lullaby Trust, Better Lives Foundation, The Prince's Trust, a regional NHS Hospital and Community Charity.

• Germany: Taking on a sponsor role in the IWJ programme, which helps students develop skills for entering the business world.

• Spain: Organising and sponsoring community initiatives like Pilates in the Park and Young Stars Dancing, promoting overall wellbeing.

• Global: Hosting successful fundraising events for charities such as the Red Cross, Parkinson's UK and UNICEF UK. Hosting free graduate webinars and volunteering at events such as Form the Future to support the next generation of professionals.

 

Additionally, we are proud to be active members of MSDUK, a leading non-profit focused on driving inclusive procurement and supplier diversity.

 

(c) Employee engagement

Employee engagement at Interval is fostered through respect for the organisation, a clear understanding of our strategy, the ability to influence outcomes and opportunities for personal and professional development. Interval is committed to maintaining a culture of openness, positivity and transparency, which underpins high levels of staff engagement.

We ensure that all team members are informed about the financial and economic factors that impact the company's performance. Employees are regularly consulted on matters of concern and their feedback is considered in decision-making processes that affect their interests.

​

Interval operates as a strong meritocracy, where talent and contribution are paramount. Our attractive culture and robust corporate values, being integrity, transparency, fairness, passion and excellence in service delivery, are central to our operations. We always strive to act in the long-term interests of our clients and candidates.

Our commitment is further reinforced by our membership in organisations that uphold the highest standards of ethics, equity, integrity, professional conduct and fair practice.

​

(d) Health and safety

Interval is dedicated to taking all reasonable and practical steps to ensure the health, safety and welfare of its employees, visitors and anyone affected by its activities. Our approach is set out in full in our Health and Safety Policy (IG-POL-HS-01), and includes:

• Assessing health and safety risks, including those arising from remote working.

• Implementing safe working systems.

• Providing necessary information, instruction and training.

• Regularly reviewing and updating health and safety policies.
