Corporate Social Responsibility

As a business, BSE 3D use CSR to achieve better relationships with our customers and clients, as well as people in our local community. We also embrace CSR to amplify, rather than degrade, the society that we and future generations inhabit. This is further shown by BSE3D’s signing of the Building Service Engineers Declare pledge, which is a pledge signed by us to reduce both our and our client’s impact on the climate.

How We Practice CSR

At BSE 3D, the implementation of our Corporate Social Responsibility can be broken down into three main categories:

Environmental

We encourage our team to reduce their printing. This is a simple action that can save resources by encouraging our employees to print only when it is necessary, allowing us to save paper and protect the environment. We also encourage our employees to do their mark-ups on a pdf, instead of paper, where possible, to minimize our paper use.

Our new office refurbishment has also helped to make our company setting more eco-friendly. Before we moved into our new office, we refurbished and replaced inefficient services to make the building more efficient. This included adding LED lights with motion sensors to save energy. We also improved our office by adding heat recovery ventilation and heat pump air conditioning, to accommodate the staff and visitors in our office, whilst enhancing the working environment.

Ease of access to public transport has also been introduced in our office relocation. Our office is a 7-minute walk from the train station, which can reduce emissions as employees now have the option to commute by bus/train. Public transport access is also convenient and fuel efficient for site visits and meetings with clients.

Social

We support our staff to become STEM ambassadors. At BSE 3D, almost half of our team are STEM Ambassadors that help inform and inspire the younger generation. The long-term aim of this is, is to inspire students to actually take up careers in our industry, to help with the skill gap of engineers the industry is facing. STEM ambassadors invest their time into STEM activities with schools to teach children about more opportunities they have in the future in the wider construction industry.

As well as our STEM ambassadors being a part of the social aspect of Corporate Social Responsibility, we also invite the younger people/students to take part in work experience with us. As a part of this work experience, the students can be exposed to several aspects of the inner workings of the business, including engineering, business/finance, and administrative responsibilities. This can help develop their understanding of the different career paths within the industry. It can also help them gain a broader understanding of what we do as a company, which may aid them in their decisions later.

Economic

We support early career engineers through tuition funding and apprenticeship schemes. This means that BSE 3D can help in investing in the younger generation to help fill the skills gap of engineers in the industry. This also helps early career engineers and apprentices to gain valuable theoretical, personal and industry skills and experience, due to the combination of work and education.

We also offer tuition funding for external training courses for our colleagues. This enables our team to develop their skills and special interests to better themselves, and the business. We support our engineers in their training and development goals to improve their skills to better deliver our client’s projects. In addition to training courses for our engineers, we also provide funding for our admin and support staff to diversify their skills to support our team. For example, our Office Manager recently completed a mental health first aid course to ensure there is support for both physical and mental health for all around the office.

“BSE|FM were recommended to us by the owner and operator of the Great Northern Hotel at Kings Cross. BSE|FM have installed and maintained heating, ventilation, air conditioning and power systems for a number of years, helping us manage the plant through a combination of vast professional knowledge combined with the ability to diplomatically drive forward our agenda without fear of upsetting incumbent teams.”

“After a laborious search and to my relief, I found BSE|FM to help with answers to my heating problems. You visited my property promptly when we had a useful discussion and you looked over our home to size up our requirements. A quotation was received and within weeks the installation and commissioning was being carried out by your team swiftly, efficiently and with great courtesy and to the schedule as quoted. Any queries I had were always answered and dealt with satisfactorily. The lead engineer was a pleasure to deal with, as was the rest of the team. I would confidently recommend BSE|FM to anyone who has an interest in having a new heating/air conditioning or air source heat pump system installed.”
