Community Investment Strategy

We believe that in aligning ourselves with a key charity partner we can offer a much more effective level of support than would be possible with a less strategic approach.

In working primarily with one carefully chosen charity partner with an obvious affinity to MCC community and business activities, we hope to ensure the buy in and support of employees, directors, customers and all other stakeholders. We will also develop long-term partnerships with other relevant charitable organisations. MCC will review all charity partnerships on an annual basis.

Whilst we have much to offer our partners in the way of financial support, assistance in kind and access to volunteers, we also recognise that our partners have much to offer us. They can offer benefits to our employees as outlined above, links to the local communities in which we operate and information and advice on strategic issues with which they are concerned.
