Our Values

Dedication to Communities

At our heart is a team of people passionate about what we do and about the world around us; from our commitment to help advances across all areas of life science, to our desire to create sustainable and environmentally friendly events and business activities. Our commitments include;

Donations & Aid

Our company preserves a budget to make monetary donations on an annual basis to various charities of our choice. In the last 5 years, we have generated over £16,500 in charitable donation.

Preserving the Environment

We aim to proactively protect the environment, whether through internal processes such as recycling, conserving energy, and a no-paper policy, or via activities like our ‘plant a tree’ guarantee, where a tree is planted for every event feedback submission we receive.

Inclusivity & Welfare

Oxford Global exists as an environment in which individual differences and the contributions of all team members are recognized and valued. We encourage a high degree of respect amongst all staff and make provision of training, mentorship and pastoral care easily available to all employees.

Equal Opportunity & Diversity

Ensuring fair and equal representation is extremely important to us and is firmly embedded in our hiring policies and speaker/partner invitation process.

You can read about this process, as well as how we put our values into practice in our CSR Policy.

Alongside these commitments, we follow a set of four guiding principles that help drive our mission and goals:

We strive to deliver outstanding quality in our preparation and delivery of products, focusing on a high level of customer satisfaction and a valuable and discussion provoking event.

We take pride in delivering industry leading innovative conferences in terms of themes, topics and formats. We encourage initiative always and want an environment where all team members feel empowered to have informed innovation.

Every individual commits themselves to building their knowledge of the industry in order to contribute to new topics, event improvements and to have interactions that are useful and insightful. Our content must reflect our position as an industry thought leader and contributor.

We collaborate with our communities to deliver the most relevant and valuable platforms. We work together between teams in-house to deliver better experiences for clients and a productive and enjoyable work environment for staff.
