Fighting climate change
At FlyForm, we are committed to tracking our social value goals. As a partner to UK public sector, we can support our customers’ Net Zero Carbon goal by 2029:
In 2019, we made the move to push our mobile workforce to use trains instead of cars. Rail travel accounts for 14 grams of CO2e emissions per passenger mile, which is dwarfed by the 158 g/CO2e per passenger miles from journeys in cars.
Our Senior Management team have had their company vehicles replaced with electric cars. Even with electricity generation, carbon emissions of an electric car are around 17 – 30% lower than driving a petrol or a diesel car.
We are passionate about rewarding our staff with meals and events. Where possible, we choose restaurants that focus on sustainable food. Sometimes we opt for vegan food which is proven to reduce an individual’s CO2e footprint by as much as 50% when correctly sourced.
We have almost no technical infrastructure ourselves. We leverage cloud systems for agility and due to lower CO2e emissions.
While FlyForm is a relatively small organisation, we can still make a difference as we scale. We create this positive change through our partners, our staff, and through technology.
FlyForm is a pureplay partner of ServiceNow. ServiceNow have maintained 100% renewable electricity, achieved carbon neutrality, and committed to net zero by 2030 (https://www.servicenow.com/content/dam/servicenow-assets/public/en-us/doc-type/public-document/servicenow-global-impact-esg-fact-sheet-2023.pdf). ServiceNow are tracking their Science-Based Target initiative (SBTi) goals, and they have realised an 82% and a 42% reduction of GHG emissions for 2022 (against a 2019 baseline) for Scopes 1 & 2 combined, and Scope 3 emissions, respectively.
The ServiceNow platform enables positive change through digital transformation (see image below). Additionally, the platform includes an ESG solution (https://www.servicenow.com/solutions/esg-solutions.html) that empowers its customers to achieve operational excellence, increase compliance and activate ESG across the organisation.Covid-19 recovery
As part of supporting the global COVID-19 recovery, we have taken the following actions:
Creating employment: We are actively working with ServiceNow on their Next Gen programme. Next Gen is designed to help bring more people into the digital skills arena. In 2020, we were involved in one of their first UK pilots (Tin Smart) which took people from under privileged backgrounds in the Midlands and put them through training. This was called out by ServiceNow at their Global event. From our success there, we were invited to a new initiative helping to reduce the digital skills gap, both by upskilling the existing workforce, and bringing fresh talent into the industry from underrepresented backgrounds – with the aim of benefiting our customers and partners across the UK.
Supporting organisations and businesses to manage the impact of COVID-19 through new ways of working: We transitioned from face-to-face to online project workshops. This helped our customers to work more flexibly, also reducing the stress on the environment thanks to minimised transport requirements.
Supporting physical and mental health: During lockdown, FlyForm initiated a variety of processes to ensure employees were taking care of their mental and physical wellbeing. Activities such as the 10-minute check in, where our employees pair up for a week at a time to ensure each day, they have an opportunity to connect, and increase morale and team building across departments.
Improve workplace conditions: Whilst many of our teams have continued to work remotely since COVID-19, we encourage train as a preferred method of travel when meeting colleagues in the office. Many of the processes implemented during lockdown, such as wellness programme, to support a remote working practice, have carried on since.Tackling economic inequality
At FlyForm, we help tackle economic inequalities by creating employment opportunities locally in Wales, as well as in the rest of the UK by fostering a ‘remote-by-default’ work culture. Our growth supports wider economic growth through our staff, suppliers, and local economies.
To create new training and employment opportunities to those who face barriers to employment, we are actively working with ServiceNow on their Next Gen programme. Next Gen is designed to help bring more people into the digital skills arena. In 2020, we were involved in one of their first UK pilots (Tin Smart) which took people from under privileged backgrounds in the Midlands and put them through training. Since then, we have been invited to a new initiative helping to reduce the digital skills gap, both by upskilling the existing workforce, and bringing fresh talent into the industry from underrepresented backgrounds – with the aim of benefiting our customers and partners across the UK.
The very work that we do through ServiceNow implementations, helps put new innovations and disruptive technologies to use as part of our customers’ Digital Transformation journeys.
Internally, we have our own product development and innovation department, FlyForm Labs. FlyForm Labs is dedicated to turning creative concepts into practical digital solutions. For example, we designed a GDS Toolkit for our public sector customers to deliver inclusively designed accessible services to the public reducing the costs to provision, operate, and maintain.
One of our core targets at FlyForm is to positively impact 200 million lives by 2030, and FlyForm Labs is a major driving force towards that goal.Equal opportunity
Diversity and inclusion is part of our fabric, not only because we feel it’s the right thing to do but because we understand that a diverse and inclusive workforce will give us a competitive edge.
Our business has a flat management structure and has been built to ensure we have a strong culture. It is important to us that that culture can remain in place as we scale. We strongly believe in employing the best people in the ServiceNow eco-system, irrespective of background, disability, orientation, or ethnicity. Our principles in diversity and inclusion aim to provide a welcoming culture to all our employees. We share and celebrate career progression across the business and support in-work progression of all our staff, which includes succession planning.
In a SME, it is important to share the progress we have made:
The Senior Management Team has female representation
Majority female voice in the CEO’s Office
Our consultancy team brings diversity from India and multiple European locations
50% Engagement Managers are female
We have two native Welsh speakers – as a Welsh business we are passionate about this! We have started producing technical content in Welsh to serve our Welsh customer base
These are not just statistics for our business, they are part of the culture we are proud to have built and are passionate about protecting.Wellbeing
At FlyForm, we promote wellbeing internally and externally:
1. Internally - physical and mental wellbeing at work:
FlyForm's co-founders, Phil and Arron Davies, are huge advocates for mental and physical health and wellbeing. This has created a supportive and open workplace from the interview process through to offboarding, supporting physical, mental and spiritual aspects of wellbeing.
FlyForm has an abundance of services to support employees which include Private Medical Healthcare, EAP services and free online exercise classes.
FlyForm have a structured onboarding programme to ensure that all employees have direct contact across the business.
Investments are being made in our benefits and HR department to further this support and ensure every FlyForm employee is taken care of.
Since COVID-19, we have embarked upon an initiative to have Mental Health First Aiders across our organisation.
FlyForm's senior management team run weekly, monthly and quarterly updates with transparency across the board which creates an environment of openness and trust.
2. Externally – helping build integrated communities:
FlyForm are very passionate about our local community in South Wales where we have sponsored local organisations such as Tonyrefail Boys Club, Wyndham Boys Club, Revolutionize Dance Club and Pontypridd Schools U11s Rugby. These clubs are in economically disadvantaged areas and provide a life-line to children seeking wholesome, social, engaging activities.
More broadly, we have made several sizeable donations such as the Taraloka Women’s Buddhist Retreat which provides much needed refuge. By offering free of charge services, we have partnered with ServiceNow to build an application for an NGO providing welfare services (food, water etc.) in South Africa. In 2021, we donated to support repatriation of people in Afghanistan. We are also working on the creation of a simple digital solution to help bring standardisation and efficiency to charitable organisations.
