Acorne plc...
corporate responsibility
At Acorne, we take the business of providing fun and excitement seriously...
As well as practicing our own 'good housekeeping' at Acorne headquarters – from recycling to buying our milk from a
family farm half a mile from our offices – we always work with responsible partners, like the Whitbread Group whose
restaurant brands redeem our Leisure Vouchers. Whitbread are committed to implementing sound Environment and
Energy policies across their group.
As managers of the Virgin Experience Days brand, Acorne regularly contribute to Virgin Unite and the Virgin Green
Fund – innovative organisations that are helping make business a force for good:
Virgin Green Fund
A leading independent private equity firm investing growth capital in the renewable energy and resource
efficiency sectors in North America and Europe. Using a fresh alternative to carbon off-setting, the
Virgin Green Fund focuses on funding research and development into real sustainable solutions.
Virgin Green Fund
Virgin Unite
The non-profit foundation of the Virgin Group, uniting people to tackle tough social and environmental
problems in an entrepreneurial way. 100% of donations go direct to the frontline, where they are needed,
as all overheads are covered by Sir Richard Branson and the Virgin Group.
Virgin Unite
Virgin Money Giving
Acorne supports the work of Virgin Money Giving, an innovative not-for-profit fundraising
company that gives charities the best deal. By charging only what they need to process
donations, and collecting Gift Aid for free and passing it onto charities in full, Virgin Money
Giving ensures that the maximum possible funds go directly to good causes.
