We’re committed to making a positive impact on society and the environment and using our resources to better the lives of others.

We work with local schools and colleges, offering talks and mentoring to help engage more students in STEM subjects, as well as partnering on social mobility programmes with organisations like Firm Foundations and Beyond the Box.

We have a programme of undertaking community and charitable projects, which have included: Steel Warriors, Brixton Windmill, Herne Hill Velodrome and Horatio’s Garden.

Our practice is run in an ethical and fair way, with employees, colleagues and clients treated honestly and fairly.

We offer programs to support different routes into the industry including mentorship, apprenticeships and internships for individuals from underrepresented groups.

Our internal Diversity & Inclusion group organises training and events throughout the year, as well as conducting an annual EDI survey to ensure we’re continuing to create the conditions in which everyone can do their best.

Heyne Tillett Steel has been an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT) since April 2021. The move reflects the core values of the practice and acknowledges the commitment and investment of our people to its success.

Alongside the Directors, a Trust Board oversees the strategic direction of the practice and an Employee Council, made up of staff from all levels and disciplines, enables employees to have a more active role in the direction of the practice.

We strive to minimise our environmental footprint in our practice as well as through our designs. We enjoy daily cooked vegetarian lunches, prepared with locally sourced ingredients where possible, encourage active travel through cycling schemes and use 100% renewable energy to power our London office.

Being B Corp certified means that we’re legally committed to considering the interests of all stakeholders in our business operations: employees, customers, communities and the environment. In short; to using our business as a force for good.
