SEGRO is proud to have signed the Armed Forces Covenant, demonstrating our commitment to supporting serving personnel, reservists, veterans and military families and recognising the valuable contribution they make to the workplace and wider society. The Armed Forces Covenant is a national promise that those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces, and their families, should be treated with fairness and respect and face no disadvantage as a result of their service.
Why it matters to SEGRO
The Armed Forces community brings a wide range of skills and experience to civilian workplaces. This has particular relevance to the industrial and logistics sector, where skills developed through military service, including leadership, logistics, planning and operating under pressure, can transfer naturally into civilian careers.
As a long-term owner and developer of industrial and logistics real estate, SEGRO also supports organisations operating across the defence and aerospace sectors with the infrastructure they need to grow and operate successfully. We are a member of Make UK Defence, helping us deepen our understanding of the sector.
Our commitment
Through the Armed Forces Covenant, SEGRO has committed to:
Promoting the Armed Forces Community, recognising key dates and raising awareness of the contribution made by serving personnel, reservists, veterans and military families.
Supporting employment opportunities, recognising the skills and experience gained through military service and ensuring applicants are considered fairly through our recruitment processes.
Supporting reservists, including seeking to accommodate training and service commitments where operationally possible.
Supporting health, wellbeing and development, through the benefits and learning opportunities available to SEGRO colleagues.
Encouraging community involvement, giving colleagues opportunities to support local causes, including Armed Forces-related charities and events.
We are committed to fostering an inclusive workplace where everyone is treated with dignity, fairness and respect, and where the diverse experiences and perspectives of the Armed Forces Community are valued.
