Give back to communities
With inclusion being an integral part of our company’s DNA, we actively listen to our customers, colleagues, and local stakeholders to make sure we understand their changing needs, and that we are best placed to support the communities we serve. As part of our Play for All philosophy, we have set up a HAGS Inclusive Network, full of academics, subject matter specialists, teachers, parents and children, to support us in ensuring our products serve community needs.
We also support ordinary people who do extraordinary things to make the world a better and more inclusive place. We support our colleagues in fundraising activities, and even embark on fundraisers to represent HAGS. From districts in Gothenburg or Manchester, to those in Paris or Seville, our approach is both global and local.
