Grand Plan
The Grand Plan underpins everything we do.
It’s Olympia Events ethical ethos, which is reflected not only in our actions but in the way we are built. Plastic-free, compostable and reusable initiatives are woven into our products and processes.
We recruit locally to benefit the community and our staff are able to earn London Living Wages and beyond. Partnerships with local universities and colleges ensure that everyone is involved. At Host Olympia, we’re committed to enhancing our community and environment.
Community
Targeted initiatives ensure that we add value to our London community.
We begin with our recruitment strategy, which aims to deliver at least 80% of casual staff from within a 10-mile radius of the venue. Beyond that, we partner with Well Grounded, who help us recruit people that are deemed harder to reach, offering them work as baristas. This ensures that we have a wonderfully diverse team.
With regards to employment, all our staff have the opportunity to earn London Living Wage and beyond. This is a key element of our commitment to contribute to the financial well-being of the people living and working in the local community. Similarly, our London Larder local supply chain helps to keep more money in the surrounding area.
Finally, we offer a resident discount for those living in London W14. All you need do is show proof of address dated within three months to benefit from a 10% discount on all our retail operations.
City Harvest
We work in partnership with City Harvest, a charity distributing over 12 tonnes of food per week to the community so that any excess food we have onsite will be given to those in need.
