				Information about Egg home Corporate responsibility Awards Advertising Egg in the community Code of business ethics
		We believe the way we interact with our people, the communities in which we operate and the broader society - our Corporate Responsibility - has a bearing on our overall financial performance. Our values Our core values at Egg are honesty, integrity and respect for people. We respect our people's individuality and diversity, encouraging them to develop their careers in a stimulating environment in keeping with our values. Our customers are the reason we exist and we constantly look to offer them the products and services that put them in control of their money. Community and charitable giving Egg People are active in their communities and are encouraged to contribute time to good causes. During 2005, the Group made total contributions of £250,000 into our local communities including Derby Playhouse, Derby County Football Club (football in the community scheme),Young Enterprise and the Dudley Festival of Water and Light. In addition to all the support we already give, Egg in the community aims to give a bit back to the communities in which our offices are based. This enables us to fundraise and donate to local and national charities that our people want us to support. Some of the charities we supported in 2005 included CSV Allies, Girl Guides, NCH The Childrens Charity, British Heart Foundation, Acorns Childrens Hospice, Macmillan Cancer Relief, Heart Link, Brompton Foundation, Caring for Animals, Meningitis Trust and the RSPCA. We also raised an additional £53,000 for specific charities such as Comic Relief, Children in Need and the Tsunami Disaster Appeal as well as donating the use of our contact centre for taking the donations for Children in Need and Comic Relief.
