In striving to be an employer of choice, Active has always had a keen focus on creating an environment to support employees to be the best that they can be. In our current and future industry, developing a diverse and inclusive culture is key in building a workplace which makes everyone feel involved and supported in all aspects of work and life.
We succeed by being better allies and in building self-awareness to create knowledge of how we can use our own privilege to amplify the voices of others for a more equitable environment.

Active Cares is the charitable element of our Corporate Social Responsibility initiative. Over the years we have ran marathons, volunteered at warehouses, cleaned up gardens, baked cakes, and more to raise money for several charities. We believe that contributing to our local communities and society is an important aspect of a great workplace and we offer up to two paid days per year to volunteer with our charity partner.
Active Wellness is our health and wellbeing initiative. We launched Active Wellness in 2018 with the aim to provide support to our employees centered on our pillars of wellbeing physical, mental, financial, environmental and social. To date our team of volunteers for the Wellness Committee has organised events around mindfulness, yoga, spin class, nutrition, financial advice, health checks and office massages.
