Our Policies
Equality
Here at the Cave Sustainable Architects UK we firmly believe that all people have the right to be treated with dignity and respect. We aim to develop and promote a culture where all individuals receive fair and equal treatment in all aspects of employment and customer relations. We further recognise the benefits of a diverse workforce and understand that equal opportunity does not mean treating everyone the same but valuing and adapting to people’s differences.
Environment
Cave is a sustainable architectural practice with a social business model. Our designs focus on sustainable low tech construction techniques and geared towards community build and ownership. As a sustainable social enterprise we are committed to promote environmental good and even best practice. Our aim is to educate & train our clients, staff and the wider community we build for, to reduce our collective environmental impact and contribution to global pollution. All members of the Cave Co-operative Architects UK are part of integrating and maintaining environmental considerations within the organisation.
