Making a difference
Fortem are not only about the bricks and mortar, they pride themselves on transforming the lives and the communities where they work.
They work to improve local communities on a daily basis, from community projects and protecting the environment to creating employment and supporting local businesses.
Through their many social value projects, Fortem helps communities in a number of different ways other than just their repairs and maintenance service.
Some of the ways Fortem have helped communities previously include:
Fortem have two smart4life digivans which provide FREE WI-FI, helping to close the digital ability gaps.
Last year Fortem provided around 16,000 hours of work experience for local school children.
On each contract that Fortem manages over 80% of their spend goes back in to the local area.
10.4% of all of Fortem’s employees are management trainees or apprentices
Fortem were the first company in the UK to achieve the Carbon Trust Standard.
Last year Fortem invested £1.4m in local charities and communities.
Throughout the life of the Repair & Mantain contract, Fortem will be working closely with both Johnnie Johnson Housing and Equity Housing Group to develop further ways in which they can work closely across the communities where we both have homes.
