  Fighting climate change

  Acceleraate is committed to operating a business that is cognisant of its impact on the environment, and its responsibility towards creating positive social impact. As the company continues to grow, we are committed to raising the awareness of environmental and social responsibilities to all employees through communication, training, and strategic initiatives. Our partner vendors (Zoom, Amazon Web Services) play an important role in enabling remote working for millions of people around the world every day, continuing to help take cars off the road for commuters who are able to work remotely. We’re also taking action to make sustainable choices for our company to lessen our impact on the environment. From an operational perspective Acceleraate has not enforced a return to office mandate, thereby reducing the potential carbon generated by unnecessary commuting and, furthermore, all colleagues are provided with suitable technology to enable them to work from any location. Acceleraate strives to: Respect the environment in which we operate, whilst maintaining commercial and operational viability; Conduct all operations in a manner which wherever possible prevents any harmful environmental effects that result from our activities; Ensure that the technologies and partners that we work with support our environmental and social goals; Promote the efficient use of resources and working patterns to reduce the production of greenhouse gas emissions; Train and educate all employees on environmental responsibilities. Our ESG policy can be found at: https://acceleraate.com/docs/policies/Acceleraate_Environment_Social_Responsibility_Policy.pdf

  Covid-19 recovery

  During the COVID-19 pandemic the collaboration and contact centre industry saw thousands of customers expediting their move to cloud communication services, in a matter of weeks. Acceleraate works with clients today to continue optimising and improving those platforms, ensuring the communication and collaboration services remain fit for purpose for the long-lasting changes that were imposed by the pandemic.

  Tackling economic inequality

  A core tenet of Acceleraate’s social responsibility strategy is through the operation of our own charitable Foundation (the Founded Foundation) which provides bursaries for students from disadvantaged and under-represented groups to access targeted educational courses. The Founded Foundation is a shareholder of Acceleraate and aims to complement traditional/state-provided education with the specific knowledge and skills that all businesses need, reducing barriers to entry for under-represented groups. We would welcome the opportunity to partner with UK government entities as we grow and further embed our Foundation.

  Equal opportunity

  Acceleraate is committed to encouraging equality, diversity, and inclusion among our workforce, and eliminating unlawful discrimination. The aim is for our workforce to be truly representative of all sections of society and our customers, and for each employee to feel respected and able to give their best. We are also committed against unlawful discrimination of customers or the public. We provide equality, fairness, and respect for all in our employment, whether temporary, part-time, or full-time. We also make opportunities for training, development, and progress available to all staff, who will be helped and encouraged to develop their full potential, so their talents and resources can be fully utilised to maximise the efficiency of the organisation, and their own career path. Our own Foundation (the Founded Foundation) also aims to tackle inequality by providing bursaries for students from disadvantaged and under-represented groups to access targeted educational courses.

  Wellbeing

  Staff welfare and wellbeing has always been at the core of our business. We strongly believe that happy employees create happy customers, and our culture centres around working hard, and resting well. We have not enforced a return to office mandate and, instead, allow our teams to make their own decisions about where and how they work to best effect and for optimal efficiency. Acceleraate is also a National Living Wage employer, committed to ensuring that our staff are properly rewarded for their efforts, reducing the risk of financial stress. We have a system of regular team meetings for all staff as well as company-wide activities. Our Directors have an open-door policy to allow anyone to have confidential discussions. We also offer private healthcare, life assurance, charity volunteering days and a generous PTO allowance to all employees.
