Social Responsibility

"Dentaid The Dentaid Charity is very fortunate to have wide-ranging support from Hague Dental which covers fundraising, employee engagement and the donation of time, skills and equipment. The partnership started when Hague was looking for a challenging way to engage their staff in a charity team building exercise.  They settled on the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge which saw more than 30 staff raising over £9,100 for the charity.  Weeks later, an opportunity presented itself for Hague to further support Dentaid by equipping and fitting out the charity’s newest mobile dental unit.  Designing a surgery to fit in the space presented a unique challenge but Hague’s engineers overcame the technical challenges to install the dental chair, x-ray, delivery cart and other equipment they donated in record time as the vehicle was desperately needed for charity dental clinics.  Since then, the dental has been used for well over 100 clinics for people experiencing homelessness, harm, poverty and abuse.  Patients include rough sleepers, those undergoing treatment for head and cancer, survivors of domestic violence and people using foodbanks and other support services. Thousands of treatments have been carried out by volunteer dental professionals which have helped the most vulnerable people in our communities out of dental pain and feeling more confident in their smile."

"I've had the pleasure of working with Hague Dental Supplies, and I have to say, their commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is inspiring. Over the past year, Hague has really stepped up their game, making a big impact on both their industry and community. John Cawley and his leadership team knew they needed to clarify their brand values and build a strong team culture to drive their CSR initiatives. They invested heavily in developing a solid CSR strategy that matches their core values of quality, accuracy, and excellence. And this isn't just about ticking boxes – they genuinely want to create lasting, meaningful change. Hague’s values are at the heart of everything they do. They’re dedicated – they put their heart and soul into every project, aiming for excellence every time. This dedication shows in their long-term view of sustainability. They’ve applied CSR principles to all areas of their operations and made sure the entire team is on board. Hague’s community and charity efforts are just as impressive. They’ve used their skills and resources to support various initiatives, like fitting out a Dentaid van and fundraising for the local charity, Finlay's Touch. These activities not only help the community but also bring the team closer together, making dentistry about people, not just machines. Hague Dental Supplies is a fantastic example of how investing in CSR and leadership development can make a real difference. They’re not just leaders in their industry; they’re champions of responsible business practices, making a positive impact every day."

"With the focus on companies looking to make a positive social impact, Hague have really embraced this. From supporting large and small charities, (with one charity especially close to me), as an employee I appreciate it and am pleased to be part of the different projects to date. I am grateful for the work we do and hope it makes a difference."

"I'm incredibly proud of how our company's culture and ethos have evolved within the dental industry, becoming a true reflection of our core values. We have created an environment where patient care, innovation, and ethical practice are at the heart of everything we do. Our commitment to social corporate responsibility is evident in our sustainable practices, community outreach, and dedication to improving oral health for all. Every team member embraces these principles, working together to elevate standards in dentistry while driving the success of our company. This shared dedication has made us a leader in creating a positive impact within the dental industry."

"The day after your fundraising event we looked at the figures and decided to take the plunge and contact all the kid’s oncology hospitals in Surrey and Kent to offer our support. We were previously only helping Sussex kids. Your incredible contribution literally gave us the confidence and stability to pledge support to kids battling cancer and other serious illnesses all across SE England. Since your fundraiser we have distributed thousands of pounds to families, we’ve sent 12 family National Trust memberships out and 2 Hospital Survival Bags to spread Fun, Happiness, and Hope to those who really need a boost. Thank you, Hague Dental, for everything you’ve done to support Finley’s Touch!"

"I love that Hague supports a chosen charity every year. The team come together and put all their efforts in to attend a charity walk on their weekends off and what we get out of it at the end are truly amazing memories as well as immense pride on what we have achieved. The work that goes into putting on such an event, is all done behind the scenes with several individuals getting involved to ensure we have everything we need to make sure the event runs smoothly. Our efforts to become greener are getting there slowly and again we educate ourselves on how this protects the environment. We are looking to become paperless in the future which will be another big change, but I know we will do our best. Overall, the future of Hague is greener and I’m so proud to be a part of that change."

"As a team we all appreciate that a business needs to give back to the community, its staff, and the environment.  Our CSR policy has become the corner stone of Hague with the charity fundraisers and our yearly hiking challenging becoming the highlight of the social calendar and a real team building experience.  You can feel the difference in the business with closer working relationships between the teams and the want to keep giving to the charities.  The other side of the CSR coin is the want to improve the environment and our carbon footprint.  We have embraced the recycling bins install at our HQ, the need to move to cleaner, greener working practices, greener travel and the reduction in energy consumption.  We are moving toward a paper free office with the use of I.T. systems that allow us to complete all daily tasks electronically.  Hague really is embracing CSR and the need to continually improve."
