🌿 Sustainability starts with people.

This Mental Health Awareness Week, we’re reminded that sustainability isn’t just about caring for the planet, it’s also about supporting the people who bring our mission to life.

At Rocket, we believe that taking care of our team is just as important as protecting the environment. As part of our wider sustainability initiatives for our growing Rocket community, we’re proud to invest in education and training to ensure we have certified Mental Health First Aiders across our team.

From building a supportive culture to providing a safe space to talk, we’re committed to looking after our people, because sustainability, at its core, is about care.
A few ways we’re putting this into practice:

✨ Certified Mental Health First Aiders across all departments
🥐 Regular team breakfasts to check in and refuel
🏃‍♀️ A run club to keep minds and bodies moving
🎉 Team socials to celebrate, unwind, and stay connected

These initiatives are just one part of a bigger picture: a workplace where wellbeing is valued, community is cultivated, and people can truly thrive.
