Social and Health Policy

Staff health is important to BiP.

Years in advance of the overall ban on smoking in public places in Scotland, BiP had already declared its offices smoke-free.

Staff are encouraged to take regular breaks and exercise throughout the day, and a recent initiative – Fresh Fruit Friday – aims to help those who want to eat more healthily. On-site vending facilities offer a choice of sugar-free and low-fat options and the company has provided numerous water coolers to encourage staff to drink more water.

Cycling to work is also encouraged at BiP, and the company has recently provided a secure storage area for cycles.
