Our responsibility to the Sky community
The Bigger Picture is Sky’s way of taking responsibility and consistently doing the right thing for the Sky community. It’s not something we can do by ourselves. We need to work with our people, customers, suppliers and the wider community to make sure we’re tackling the right issues and doing it in the right way.
Our vision
We want to involve everyone who has a part to play in our business in activities that benefit our communities.
We want to help Sky people to;
- volunteer their passion, creativity and skills working with charity partners and projects that make a tangible and sustainable difference to the community.
- choose when and who they fundraise and donate to, helping the charities of their choice at the same time as being fully supported by our generous match funding policy.
- see Joining In as a fantastic development experience and a benefit of working for Sky.
We support our people
There are a number of ways that Sky people can get involved with The Bigger Picture.
- We provide individual and team volunteering opportunities linked to community partners in Arts, Sport and Environment.
- We provide 16 hours of paid volunteering time per employee, per year.
- We have a generous match funding policy in place for staff fundraising or payroll giving to the charity of their choice.
Why is Joining In so important?
Without the energy, support and imagination of Sky people, our business would not be able to make the significant difference that we have been able to so far. Joining In is a key part of the culture of Sky and will continue to be essential to the way we work and operate.
