ERIKS Wins Silver Microhive Award for Commitment to Workplace Giving
July 2025
ERIKS has been awarded the Silver Microhive Award in recognition of its commitment to workplace giving and community impact. The accolade, part of the 2025 Microhive Awards, celebrates organisations that are leading the way in fostering a culture of generosity, inclusivity, and social purpose through micro-giving. ERIKS staff across the UK and Ireland contributed over a 12-month period through the scheme, which rounds down employees’ net pay to the nearest pound and donates the pennies to charity.

To qualify for a Microhive Award, at least 10% of an organisation’s workforce must participate in the scheme. Silver status is reserved for those where 15% or more employees have signed up - demonstrating a meaningful commitment to social value, even during challenging economic times. The initiative continues to gain momentum, with £8.5 million raised for UK charities to date, including over £1.8 million for NHS-related causes.
In addition to the award, ERIKS has also earned the right to use the Microhive Social Purpose Quality Mark. Introduced in 2023, the mark provides a formal endorsement of an organisation’s dedication to supporting the communities they care about.

It can be used in ESG reports, stakeholder communications and on company websites to demonstrate tangible action on social responsibility.
Pamela Bingham, CEO of ERIKS UK & Ireland, said: "We’re incredibly proud to receive the Silver Microhive Award. This recognition is a testament to the generosity of our people and their commitment to making a real difference. At ERIKS, social value is not just a principle - it’s embedded in how we operate as a business. Supporting initiatives like Microhive is one of the many ways we show our dedication to community wellbeing and responsible business practice."
