At PGL, we believe how we do business matters just as much as what we do. That’s why our Better Beyond Adventure strategy helps guide decision making across our business as we work to support our colleagues, young people, communities and the environment.
Our approach has been independently recognised through our Certified B Corporation accreditation. Certified B Corporations are assessed against standards relating to social and environmental performance, accountability and transparency. For us, certification is part of our commitment to continually improve the way we operate.
Our pillars of Better Beyond Adventure

CHAMPIONS OF WELLBEING
We’re a people business and look to support our colleagues and guests. Our key focuses are wellbeing, diversity and the Real Living Wage. How?

Breakthrough Highlight
Protecting the wildlife at PGL Marchants Hill
Nestled in the stunning Surrey countryside, Marchants Hill is just a stone’s throw from The Devil’s Punchbowl – a magical spot and official Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). This natural habitat is buzzing (and scampering!) with British wildlife. Think roe deer, wood mice, hedgehogs, badgers, and red foxes, not to mention plenty of chirping birds.
The Marchants Hill team decided to welcome our furry and feathered neighbours by building them new homes! From bird boxes to hedgehog hideaways and buzzing bee houses, these wildlife shelters quickly became home to many creatures. Now, we’re adding signs so visitors can learn how to enjoy the local critters’ company respectfully. Do come say hello!
