INSPIRING FUTURE ENGINEERS AND INNOVATORS: Reach one million young people with educational technologies, learning content and skills development to support future engineers and innovators.
CHAMPIONING YOUTH & COMMUNITIES
It is essential that we inspire the next generation of industrial engineers and innovators to ensure we have the right skills for the future. By providing educational products, inspirational learning content and immersive skills development opportunities, we help young engineers and technologists embark on exciting careers.
At the same time, we support our communities to improve people’s lives and create a more sustainable world by enabling and empowering our people to make a meaningful difference through our local giving fund and two paid volunteering days each year.
OUR 2030 GOALS
SOCIAL IMPACT PARTNERSHIPS: Support our social impact partners to develop solutions that improve lives – including supporting The Washing Machine Project (TWMP) to help 100,000 people in need.

INSPIRING THE NEXT GENERATION OF ENGINEERS
Brilliant ideas, bold experimentation, and a drive to solve real-world problems — this is what defines the engineering talent of tomorrow. Across universities and student teams, innovation is already happening: in labs, in workshops, and in late-night brainstorming sessions. They’re shaping a better world — from ideas to action. And RS is here to support that journey by providing the tools, funding, and inspiration needed to help turn concepts into real impact.
SOCIAL IMPACT
Making Amazing Happen for a Brighter World with SolarAid
RS is proud to partner with SolarAid in a multi-year mission to light up lives across Africa. Together, we aim to raise £1 million through corporate donations, matched funding, RS PRO product contributions, fundraising, and gifts in kind. This ambitious effort will help deliver clean, safe solar light and power to 150,000 people living in rural communities without access to electricity—empowering education, improving health, and unlocking opportunity.
Because when we work together, amazing things happen.
Volunteer days
One of the initiatives is that each employee can take 2 paid days off each year to focus on giving back in their communities by doing volunteer work. Some employees choose to go alone, giving their time for a cause that's particularly special for them - and some choose to work together to perform charitable acts in groups.
