ESG Social

We have been hardwired to contribute to society since 1933

We have always tried to be a force for good and contribute positively to society since we started in 1933. As a family business in the UK’s smallest county, we have strong ties to society and the environment around us, and we are hardwired to contribute whenever we can

We invest in the future; sustainability and contributing positively to society are important parts of the family legacy. Each member of a family business does what feels like the right thing to do, and for CS Ellis, it has always been about how we exist in Rutland and the impact we have upon our environment and our community

Doing the right thing has never felt more relevant than it does today, and we will continue our efforts towards sustainability and our social impact
