Social value

Plan Thrive is Mitie’s bold commitment to uplift 1 million lives, transform 1,000 places and champion inclusive partnerships.

Our social commitment

Reflecting our purpose to create better places and thriving communities, the programme drives locally tailored initiatives. These improve access to employment, skills development, career progression and wellbeing support.

We’re proud to embed social value in our activities, delivering positive change for people, places and the planet through volunteering, diverse supply chains and meaningful employment.

Through Plan Thrive Mitie has committed to leave a positive legacy for the communities we serve. We have pledged to uplift 1 million lives, support 1,000 places to prosper and build responsible and ethical supply chains. To complement the ambitions of Plan Thrive, Mitie launched the Sustainability and Social Value Supplier Charter in March 2026. It ensures the highest standards from both parties in our interactions with our supply chain.

The ‘S’ in ESG

Our 80,000 colleagues each recognise the importance of making a positive difference to the lives of the people and communities we touch – and it’s a responsibility we take very seriously.

Our industry-leading ESG initiatives form a key part of all our activities, from the thousands of hours of volunteering work we deliver to our efforts to reduce carbon impacts and protect natural environments.

Mitie’s Sustainability and Social Value Supplier Charter sets out our expectations of suppliers and supports the shared goals of not only uplifting lives, but transforming places and building inclusive partnerships.

Ultimately, we know that by leading the way we can encourage others to do the same. And together we can make a measurable difference to society.
