Corporate Social Responsibility
Commitment to Community & Charity
At Prima Dental We believe in
making a meaningful difference
beyond our business
Our commitment to charity is embedded in our culture, supporting both local and national causes that positively impact lives. Through employee-led initiatives, company sponsorships, and hands-on involvement, we actively contribute to a variety of fundraising efforts, ensuring our support reaches those who need it most.
Each year, Prima employees nominate a charity to support, and for 2025, we are proud to be fundraising for Scoo-B-Doo
a charity dedicated to supporting neonatal babies and their families at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital.
OUR CHOSEN CHARITY
In addition to our chosen charity, we proudly support other initiatives, including Lions at Large, raising funds for the Big Space Cancer Appeal through the Pride of Gloucestershire Trail. Our charity committee ensures that every event and initiative is driven by our employees’ passion for giving back, fostering a culture of generosity and community spirit.
GLOUCESTER HARTBURY WOMEN’S RUGBY
At Prima Dental, we are proud to partner with Gloucester Hartpury Women’s Rugby, supporting the women’s team alongside working with the Gloucester Rugby Foundation, which nurtures the next generation of female athletes.
As sponsors of the girls’ rugby camps held during school holidays, we are committed to providing opportunities for young players to learn, grow, and develop their skills in an encouraging environment.
These camps do more than teach rugby – they build confidence, teamwork, and resilience, empowering young women to take on challenges both on and off the field. By investing in grassroots rugby, we help ensure that future generations have access to high-quality coaching and the chance to foster a lifelong passion for the sport.
Charities we have supported over the past five years
Our fundraising efforts span the entire year, with a packed calendar of internal events designed to bring our team together for great causes.
These include charity raffles, quiz nights, family summer fun days, and sporting events, such as last year’s Prima to Paris in-house cycle ride, where employees took on the challenge of cycling the equivalent distance from Gloucester to Paris.
We also encourage volunteering, offering opportunities for our team to give back to the community in meaningful ways.

SUSTAINABILITY
At Prima Dental, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. We are committed to minimising our environmental impact through innovative initiatives, ensuring our operations are both energy-efficient and responsible.
Our recent installation of solar panels across all three of our HQ sites is a testament to our dedication, reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 90 tonnes per year and an estimated 2,270 tonnes over their lifetime – equivalent to 5.7 million miles driven in an average petrol car.
Prima exclusively utilises green energy, further reinforcing our commitment to a cleaner future.
We take a holistic approach to sustainability, integrating responsible practices across all aspects of our business. In 2023, we achieved zero landfill waste, a milestone made possible by meticulous recycling initiatives, contract reviews with waste management services, and the exclusive use of recycled paper for packaging and marketing materials.
We have significantly reduced our reliance on disposable plastics, eliminating 330,000 plastic cups annually, and introduced waterless urinals, saving over 1.5 million litres of water each year.
Our energy-efficient production facilities include intelligent lighting, air source heat pumps, and improvements to our compressed air system, resulting in annual carbon savings of over 100 tonnes – the equivalent of planting 4,760 trees per year.
By prioritising local suppliers and reducing global travel, we further mitigate our environmental impact while fostering strong community relationships.
With ISO 14001 and ISO 50001 certifications achieved in the last twelve months, our dedicated Energy Champions continue to drive meaningful change, ensuring Prima remains a leader in sustainable excellence.
