Net Positive
Our commitment to working as a net positive business has been our priority from the very beginning.

We believe that by working in an ethical and professional way, it can have a positive social value impact within the communities in which we work, the people we work with and the environment.
Our whole organisation is dedicated to adding Social Value wherever we work, and we proactively try to make a difference in any way we can. From engaging with local charities offering professional advice, to fundraising, to developing new ways of working to ensure we are adding value to our work, everyone has a part to play and is fully committed to doing so.
Developing and assisting the new generation coming into the industry, has always been a clear passion of Vextrix to ensure opportunities can be given to those who need them.
Over the past ten years, we have continued to develop links with local colleges and universities to offer industrial year out placements and work experience for those studying towards relevant qualifications, recruiting three members of our Liverpool staff as full-time employees after they completed a successful year out.
“I joined Vextrix back in 2014, initially helping out on a temporary basis with more IT focussed projects. Whilst working here, the QS career journey looked interesting and one I decided to look in to. Vextrix supported me through part time study, allowing me to gain experience at the same time as completing my qualifications. After completing my HNC in Construction, followed by my QS degree, I’m now working towards my chartership which I hope to have completed in the next few years.”
Developing relationships with those in our local community who need that extra support is important to us to be able to share the expertise of our staff and offer support through volunteering and fundraising.
Alongside our charity partner, we can engage with young people to offer advice and support to build a better future for themselves.
This is our first year of reporting on our journey to achieving Net Zero by 2030. Our vision is clear, through continued learning from everyone within the business, our personal actions at home, within the workplace and working with our clients, it can have a huge impact to the environment. We have made a commitment to upskill every member of our team so that they can be part of our journey to take ownership and accountability of our planned targets.
We’ve already made great strides towards our goal but we’re not there yet. As we grow, we will continue to learn, refine, and challenge the way we do things internally and working on projects.
