At Oscrete, being a part of the community isn’t just a responsibility, it’s a way of life. Our business thrives on partnerships, connection, and a deep-seated commitment to helping our local neighbourhoods grow, prosper and feel proud.
From revitalising outdoor spaces to inspiring the next generation of engineers, we aim to make meaningful contributions that echo far beyond our products. We’re proud to support educational and environmental projects, champion responsible manufacturing, and create platforms for youth empowerment—all rooted in our values and behaviours.
One shining example of this commitment is our ongoing partnership with The Academy at St James’ through The Venturists programme. Scott Wilson, one of our dedicated team members, has volunteered his time and expertise to guide young minds in developing a Wildlife Haven on school grounds—an initiative born from their Youth Social Action Project. This venture not only introduced pupils to sustainable thinking but also connected them with professionals from Jet2.com, Vanquis Banking Group and the Aire Rivers Trust.
This outstanding project has caught national attention, with The Venturists being shortlisted for the BBC Radio Leeds Make a Difference Awards 2025 in the Green Award category. We’re thrilled to see these students recognised for their innovation, care for the environment, and collaboration with industry. It reflects exactly the kind of purpose-driven future Oscrete is committed to building.
Our ESG responsibilities fuel everything we do—ensuring we invest in the education, growth, and wellbeing of our surrounding communities. Through initiatives with the West & North Yorkshire and Bradford Chambers of Commerce, Bradford’s UK City of Culture 2025 sponsorship, and the Fair Work Charter, we continuously strive to support a thriving, inclusive, and sustainable future.
Volunteering is more than corporate social responsibility at Oscrete, it’s an embodiment of who we are. Our team members regularly give their time, creativity, and compassion to projects that uplift and transform communities.
We’re proud to stand behind efforts like the Venturists’ Youth Social Action Project. Scott Wilson’s mentorship has been vital in empowering young people to realise their vision of an environmentally sustainable school space. His involvement reflects our belief that real change starts with stepping up, sharing knowledge, and believing in potential.
Beyond schools, our people support diverse causes: from running hands-on workshops and career talks to mentoring students and participating in local regeneration efforts. Whether it’s through armed forces support via the Armed Forces Covenant, or internal leadership growth through our Oscrete Emerging Leaders programme, we ensure our people are empowered both inside and outside the workplace.
Every volunteer at Oscrete represents more than a company; they carry forward our legacy of positivity, respect, support, and collaboration. It’s a movement—one where business and community rise together.
At Oscrete, we don’t just make construction chemicals, we build a culture shaped by what we believe and how we act. Our values and behaviours are more than words. They are daily actions, conscious choices, and our guiding compass:
These values and behaviours power our innovation, deepen our community ties, and set the foundation for a future we’re proud to help build.
