Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG)
At Hatmill, we’re committed to sustainability and social responsibility. Our charitable efforts are integral to our culture, reflecting our dedication to positive impact. Since 2019, we’ve allocated 1% of profits to support causes, showcasing our commitment to social welfare. As part of our ESG strategy, we aim for net zero emissions by 2039 and B Corp certification in 2024, aligning business success with societal and environmental responsibility.
Donating 1% of profits
Since 2019, we have donated 1% of our profits to charity. This year the three deserving charities chosen by the team were:
- Leicester Hospitals Charity – supports Leicester’s Hospitals by funding life-saving equipment, cutting-edge research, and improvements to patient care and hospital environments across Leicester Royal Infirmary, Glenfield Hospital, and Leicester General Hospital.
- PAPYRUS Suicide Prevention is a UK charity dedicated to preventing young suicide by offering support, resources, and training to young people and those concerned for them, through its confidential HOPELINE247 service.
- War Child UK works to protect, educate, and stand up for the rights of children affected by conflict around the world, providing life-changing support in areas such as education, mental health, and family reunification.
Simon Dixon, Founder of Hatmill said:
“We genuinely care about helping to build a brighter future for our clients, colleagues, and communities. We’re proud to support these inspiring charities, not just financially but also through in-kind contributions as our charities of the year.”
I’d like to thank Hatmill Limited for their recent gift. It is wonderful to see their support of Leicester Hospitals Charity.
This generous gift will be well used by Leicester’s Hospitals. As they kindly donated towards our High’s and Low’s group, we are able to put their donation towards support for our youngest patients living with diabetes.
- Sunita Patel, Head of Leicester Hospitals Charity
Thank you to everyone at Hatmill for choosing to support PAPYRUS. The donation to PAPYRUS will help us to reach more people across the UK, and support more young people at risk of suicide.
Here at PAPYRUS, we are very grateful for this support as sadly suicide remains the biggest killer of anyone under the age of 35 in the UK today, so support from businesses like Hatmill really does make a difference to our work.

Chatsworth Challenge
The Hatmill team recently completed the Chatsworth Challenge, a 21 mile walk round the Derbyshire countryside to support Burnley Young Carers. The team raised over £2500 to buy Christmas gifts for the young carers in recognition of the incredible job they do caring for their vulnerable parents or guardians.
“Our Young Carers experience many difficulties with responsibilities most children never encounter. The past two years have been incredibly hard, with isolation and limited contact outside of the home environment. The donation from Hatmill and the fabulous Christmas presents they work so hard to provide for our Young Carers, really do mean the world to them. The Young People feel appreciated and grateful that their hard work doesn’t go unnoticed”.
- Alison Harris, Burnley and Pendle Young Carers
