PPL supports the music industry in its normal working day and does not retain a profit – our staff are proud to be able to make an even greater effort in giving something back.
PPL employees fundraise for various music industry and other charities throughout the year. A company Charity of the Year is chosen by the staff and throughout the year we raise money for that charity with various activities. Macmillan Cancer Support was the Charity of the Year in 2011, and in 2012 our staff have chosen Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity.
We have raised thousands of pounds in past years with activities such as sponsored sporting challenges and bake sales, and regularly host a London call centre for Comic Relief. Employees manning the phones on Red Nose Day 2011 helped to raise over £42,000.
It's also important to us to reduce the impact of our business on the environment – PPL has recycling stations on all floors and we work with Julie's Bicycle to audit our carbon footprint and set future goals. We also have a Cycle to Work scheme that has seen many PPL employees choose to get on their bikes to work and reduce their carbon footprint.
