Fighting climate change

Cloud21’s quality and compliance team have been extremely busy over the last 24 months and have recently become ISO14001 certified demonstrating our commitment to reducing its environmental impact.
Ambitions for 2024/25
For this service we will:

• Implement a reduce, reuse and recycle scheme (coffee pods, pens and batteries)
• Eliminate single use plastic bottles from our office headquarters
• Promote rail travel over air travel for practical journeys
• Promote the ‘green leaf hotel’ scheme where practical to do so
• Accurately measure commutable mileage
• Reduce paper use and printing at the our headquarters
• Reduce emissions by 7.14% (19.23 tCO2e) from baseline

We believe it is all about making small changes in order to make a big impact and promoting environmental sustainability.

Cloud21 has implemented a carbon reduction plan in line with the NHS’s carbon reduction roadmap.

Wellbeing

We have a company-wide approach called VIBE (Valuing Inclusion, Belonging and Equity), which includes the provision of resources and support to improve physical, emotional and mental health and wellbeing which complements our company values.

Our VIBE team promote social inclusion and wellbeing by running events that supporting charities, such as Samaritans and MIND.

We understand stress can impact a person’s mental health, this can result in absences and even resignations, but more importantly, it can impact people's lives fundamentally. Making sure that work is a safe place to discuss wellbeing and mental health by creating an inclusive and supportive environment will provide employees with the tools needed to manage mental health.

We look to reduce the pressure and stress involved in modernising systems and technology leveraging our past experience and sharing this with all stakeholders involved.

Initiatives we are looking to run within the next 18 months:
• Run Health and wellbeing webinars and sharing resources to support our teams such as ‘NHS Every mind matters’ and the ‘6 ways to wellbeing’.
• Continue to raise mental health awareness through running company lead events such as ‘fun-runs’ or ‘Movember’ to promote mental health awareness.
• Offer mentoring support from trained mental health first aiders to support our staff.
• Ensuring we continue to develop our Wellbeing policy.
