Stronger communities
Supporting our communities
Spirax Group is responsible and committed to positively contributing to the communities in which we operate.
We work to address global sustainability challenges such as poverty, hunger, access to education, inequality, climate change and biodiversity loss.
Our global community engagement programme, ‘Giving today for a better tomorrow’ focuses on meeting local needs today so that our communities will be stronger and more resilient now and in the future.
Our colleagues once again demonstrated their commitment to community support, contributing over 22,000 hours to volunteering activities in 2025. This brings our cumulative total since the launch of our One Planet Strategy in 2021 to c.112,000 hours.
In 2025, our operating companies contributed cash and in-kind donations valued at £201,177, compared to £228,200 in 2024 (both at average currency exchange rates during the year). Since the launch of One Planet, our operating companies have donated over £1.45 million to local charitable causes.
During 2025, the Education Fund approved 38 new grant applications, and donated £562,529 in respect of these, as well as paying £256,435 in respect of multi-year grants. To date 179 applications have been approved from across the Group, covering 38 different countries. The total value of grants paid out since the Education Fund began operating in 2022 is £4,058,532.
How we make a difference
We deliver a combination of local and Group-supported activities. All Group colleagues are entitled to three days of paid volunteering leave each year, to give their time, talents and expertise for a wide range of good causes.
Our operating companies are encouraged to support their communities by identifying local needs, donating cash or other forms of help to meet those needs.
Our key strategic targets:
- Deliver 150,000+ hours (cumulative) of colleague volunteering globally by 2025
- £2 million of cash or in-kind donations (cumulative) made by our Group Companies by 2025
- Establish a Group Education Fund and donate up to £15 million by 2030
