Fighting climate change
Sustainability is a core element of our CSR strategy. At Claranet, we recognise the significance of our environmental footprint, even if it’s small, and are dedicated to perpetual improvements in energy conservation and waste minimisation throughout our operations. Our Senior Management Team has defined environmental and energy policies with a structure for setting and revising environmental objectives and goals.
• Our approach to environmental management includes:
• Committing to lessen our environmental impact.
• Integrating environmental performance and management into our business practice.
• Encouraging recycling and eco-awareness across our workforce, clientele, and suppliers.
• Reducing eco-toxic emissions from company vehicles.
• Reducing our energy use.
• Aligning with stakeholders to meet or excel in environmental standards.
• Adhering to applicable environmental laws and regulations.
• Conducting regular audits to measure and report on environmental metrics and establish goals.
Our energy management is focused on:
• Complying with legal standards for energy use.
• Implementing and, where possible, exceeding best practices for energy management.
• Allocating resources to meet our energy objectives and improve our management system continuously.
• Procuring energy-efficient solutions and services when feasible.
• Using data to monitor significant energy use and set targets for reducing consumption across the enterprise.
Our commitment to sustainability is reinforced by certifications such as ISO14001 for Environmental Management, ISO50001 for Energy Management, and the Cisco Environmental Sustainability Specialisation.
Aiming for net zero by 2050, we are proactively seeking ways to achieve this sooner. Our efforts are transparent, with an external Carbon Reduction Plan available upon request.Equal opportunity
Offering the opportunity to advance our people’s professional development is one thing, however, ensuring that everyone, no matter who they are, has that opportunity is something that we pride ourselves on. Diversity and Inclusion is a highly regarded topic at Claranet and one that we strive to work towards. We are committed to driving diversity and inclusion in a measurable way.
Our HR and Management teams are working closely on diversity and inclusion initiatives to support the reduction in the gap in pay between men and women. We have a group of employees who have volunteered themselves to work together the ensure some of the most meaningful diversity and inclusion dates throughout the calendar year are acknowledged and/or celebrated with the goal of ensuring all of our employees feel a sense of belonging at Claranet. We are a signatory with the Tech Talent Charter (TTC) who pride themselves on bringing organisations together to drive greater diversity and inclusion within the Technology sector. Not only does this support women getting into technology, but those from multi-ethnic and lower socio-economic backgrounds as well. We are excited to be a part of this movement and hope to contribute to making the UK technology sector truly inclusive. We are also one of the founding members of the Technology Community for Racial Equality (T4CRE). We are proud to support this organisation that is focused on promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in the technology industry (https://tc4re.org/who-we-are/).
Our recruitment strategy and policy also heavily supports this. The makeup of our Senior Management Team further evidences our commitment to inclusivity, as it continues to represent an equal split between men and women, which is essential to leading a diverse workforce and promoting equality.Wellbeing
