  Fighting climate change

  As a small, digital-first consultancy, our environmental impact is greatly reduced by having always adopted work-from-home practices and avoiding maintaining a physical office. Our transport and paper use is very modest, and while we are happy to travel for major meetings with clients, the majority of our work is conducted within the client's digital workplace and video calls. While we are aware of the environmental impact of colossal data centres that support the cloud (considering power and water) we believe that centralised systems for decentralised workers is an efficient approach considering the shift in working practices in the last 30 years, and in the pandemic and post-pandemic years.

  Equal opportunity

  In our own company and with clients, we focus on individual strengths and respect individual differences. We follow all relevant legislation, such as the Equality Act 2010, and always support additional legislation and policies that our clients work within. As a small team of colleagues, we respect each other's privacy while welcoming conversation about personal and social topics, such as gender, race, family, neurodivergence, physical and mental health, disability, LGBT+, and religion. Further, we discuss and highlight accessibility issues with technology vendors and clients in order to improve employee experience and inclusion. ClearBox works to help clients provide a good digital employee experience. We perform employee research so we can advise the client on user experience (UX) and usability. Good usability requires accessibility. We are very aware of individual differences and always care and advise about colour, user interface design, and vocabulary and readability. We understand that accessibility has a relationship to disability, and that disability can be permanent, temporary (injury, overwhelmed), situational (life-stage, activity, distracted). Further, we discuss Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) with the technology vendors we work with.
