Why Cambridge Businesses are Moving Beyond a Day Out
For many companies, “corporate volunteering” means a pleasant team day outdoors. But in Cambridge, a growing number of employers are going further, choosing to invest in partnerships that leave a lasting mark on the landscapes and communities that make our city thrive.
From One-Off Days to Enduring Impact
Over the past three years, leading businesses such as ARM and Illumina have partnered with Cambridge Past, Present & Future (CPPF) not only by sending staff to volunteer, but by investing in deeper, year-round programmes. The results speak for themselves:
Thousands of native trees planted, strengthening local biodiversity.
Walking trails restored, improving community access to nature.
Fragile habitats regenerated and protected for future generations.
Alongside these tangible outcomes, employees gain meaningful experiences that boost wellbeing and team cohesion, connecting them directly with the land they help to restore.
Why Strategic Partnerships Matter
This isn’t about CSR box-ticking. It’s about:
Delivering measurable ESG outcomes that stand up in board reports and stakeholder updates.
Strengthening your employer brand with authentic, local impact.
Investing in staff wellbeing through nature-based activities proven to reduce stress and build resilience.
Aligning with Cambridge’s civic identity, protecting the green spaces that make this city unique.
