  Fighting climate change

  We have an environmental statement and are working to improve our ESG governance generally. Wwe formulated a plan to become net zero by 2030 which is available on our website.; What we are doing to reduce our emissions ; -Our People – we launched a WIKI within Teams containing advice on how to minimise your environmental impact. ; -Our Suppliers – 95% of our environmental impact comes from suppliers. We have reviewed our supplier onboarding process to score their environmental impact and are in discussion with Key suppliers so we understand what they are doing to limit Carbon emissions and how we can work with them to make this happen.; -Our Customers – our sales efforts focus on transitioning customers to cloud services and low energy products such as FTTP. These are more efficient and will reduce emissions over time.; 95% of our emissions are from our supply chain/customer usage of our products and we are working on our supplier strategy to fully understand their plans and as well as proactively transitioning our customers onto more environmentally responsible products and services (e.g. Broadband -> FTTP) to help them hit their targets. ; 5%- us We have moved to 96% home working, reduced our office footprint from 6 to 1 and have seen a substantial reduction in our emissions and utilities usage (reported annually). This equates to over 350 people no longer commuting. ; Our People come together if they need to at head office or in a network of small hubs, for example all teams meet at least once per quarter and some choose to more frequently. ; This cuts carbon emissions significantly as ; -over 350 people no longer need to commute every day, ; -over 90% of internal, supplier and customer meetings take place over Teams ; -We reduced our office footprint from 6 to 1.

Successfully linking Culture and Charity by introducing a fun and quick way to provide companywide recognition and praise for all to see. All our people are encouraged to recognise when their colleagues have performed well by giving them ‘Praise’, The best thing about this – every time someone is praised, they get to donate £1 to one of the 12 Charities. In 2023, we raised £9,000 through Praise recognition, which was part of the £45,000 total we donated.; When things happen in the world that we've not planned for, people will turn to their leaders to see how we will support them, recently, we sent medical and food supplies to the Romania – Ukraine border and donated to the Red Cross Ukraine Crisis Appeal.; Recent Regional and National Charity initiatives ; Bare Necessities; Bare Necessities is a toiletry bank based in South Manchester, founded by two friends, determined to do something to help local people have equal access to personal hygiene products.

This opens up an exciting opportunity to widen our recruitment activities to include groups of people who previously were not open to us because of the geographic and physical barriers that working in a fixed location bring. Removing these barriers and proactively searching out new ways to attract and recruit people from all areas of society will enable us to grow a much more diverse workforce with all of the cultural, social and financial benefits that this brings.; we have always considered that we drive a culture that promotes inclusion and diversity. We have always celebrated all our people's successes, but complacency is dangerous and there is always more we can do.
