Ethical Governance
We recognise the importance of ethical and transparent governance to ‘hold the business to account’. Therefore, we have built an experienced group of independent advisers to provide robust governance on finance, technical, brand and social value development. Their combined experience enables them to provide stewardship and access to a diverse range of global networks.
We are the facilitators of social change and recognise the powerful contribution of individuals when building the RISE programme.
Imprinting Skills for Life through ChangeMaker RISE
ChangeMaker RISE represents the social and ethical pledges that we stand for
Reduce Poverty
Increase Equality
Sustain Employment
Empower Social Value
By imprinting skills for life that enable society to RISE, we are bringing together those most in need, with a keen focus on improving mental health.
We are deeply committed to supporting ex-military and young people, because they are often marginalised and require support to redefine their sense of self. Both groups are experiencing mental health issues on a scale not previously see, which can leave them lacking the emotional resilience required to live a meaningful life.
We reinvest profit into our unique ChangeMaker RISE programme which improves the skills and emotional resilience of ex-military and vulnerable young people, here in the UK. Experience tells us that our approach strengthens the impact we can make on both groups, leading to an increased sense of self and the ability to create a legacy for society.
Our Social Pledges
RISE up out of Poverty – Remove barriers to social mobility that increase choice and remove individual poverty
RISE into Equality – Provide equal access to 3D technology and skill development
RISE on to Employment – Develop emotional resilience that enables individuals to gain and sustain employment
RISE of Social Value – Embed social value into the supply chain and empower both business and society to RISE.
Our Training
The ability to fail and learn is critical when maintaining an innovation mindset and culture. Our centre provides the time away from day to day priorities and promotes knowledge transfer, and innovation through failure.
• Practical industry training on emerging technology
• A dedicated pathway for young people to increase 3D skills
Our training model will remain agile, responsive, and provide regular exposure to technology that stimulates creative and collaborative thinking, with the ability to try and fail in a controlled environment.
