Responsibility
ENVIRONMENTAL
Within the last couple of years, Leader Optec has taken significant steps to become more environmentally sustainable. Our goal is to promote environmental consciousness throughout the company and to adapt our operations in turn to reduce our environmental impact.
Not only do we look at our own operations to maximise sustainability in the workplace, we look to our partners to ensure their environmental goals align with ours. Please view the following links to see how our partners are achieving sustainable growth:

ETHICS
Leader Optec is passionate in maintaining high ethical standards with all aspects of our trading and existence. We encourage diversity in the workplace and ensure a safe and equal working environment for our team. We expect our vendors, customers and all associated with the business to do the same.
COMMUNITY
As a family-run business, we are committed to making a positive impact on our local community and the communities we do business with. Developing relationships with local businesses and charities is important to us and contributes to our core values as a company. We carry out events on a regular basis to help aid a variety of charities. Here are just some of the charities we have supported in the past:
St Kentigern’s Hospice, Alder Hey Children’s Hospital, local homeless Shelters, Comic Relief, Macmillan, Tommy’s, Movember for Men’s Health, Children in Need, The Alzheimer’s Society, British Heart Foundation, RNLI, Ty Gobaith.
To support young people in our community, we have created an apprentice programme, bringing in apprentices for engineering and production roles. We aim to develop their interest to work in a positive working environment and to develop knowledge in the fibre industry to set them up for future careers.
Not only do we see the importance of building relationships within our local community, but within the fibre optic community too. Leader Optec are a member of the FIA (Fibreoptic Industry Association) where we network with peers in our industry by attending tradeshows, seminars and webinars.
