Fighting climate change

Locana is committed to the concept of sustainable development, which requires balancing the need for economic operations and growth with good stewardship in the protection of the natural environment.

We strive to eliminate any potentially adverse impacts of operations on stakeholders and the communities in which we do business by implementing programmes and initiatives focused on utilising resources efficiently.

A few examples include; a remote workforce model with most employees working from their home office thus reducing the carbon output from commuting, implementing paperless work environment to help reduce the impact of our business on the worlds natural resources, and committing to recycling including the reuse, repurposing and donation of computers. Recycling and turning off the lights not only lowers costs, it has a real-world effect. We expect all employees to think about ways they can individually make a difference and make recommendations and lead initiatives supporting company-wide efforts. It takes the combined efforts of all of us to make an impact.

Covid-19 recovery

Locana promotes social distancing, remote working, and sustainable travel solutions to help improve workplace conditions that support the COVID-19 recovery effort in the UK.

Tackling economic inequality

Locana has quality systems and processes in place which ensure all our suppliers are paid promptly and within contractual terms.

Locana believes strongly in addressing global economic inequality and in conjunction with some of our third sector clients, many of the solutions we deliver help to address elements of inequality.

Locana has done significant work for the HarvestChoice program led by the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI). The ultimate goal achieved was to improve the lives of poor people in sub-Saharan Africa through productive and profitable farming. This work involved agricultural value chains and visualisation. We helped develop a flagship web mapping application which put complex, detailed data into the hands of the people who need it, in a format that makes sense. This helped development stakeholders pinpoint strategic investments and maximise results.

Another example is the work we do with 500 Women Scientists, which is a global community formed to serve society by making science open, inclusive, and accessible. Its fundamental mission is to build a means and community for women scientists to connect, learn, share, and grow. Our work with 500 Women Scientists has seen delivery of the Gage platform to connect people around the world using Locana open data and development services. Launched in 2019, Gage successfully met its objectives to provide a fast, efficient resource that enables educators, policymakers, media, and others to quickly connect to the expertise of women and gender-diverse people in STEMM. The platform now empowers thousands of scientists worldwide to exchange knowledge and engage with each other and the public.

Equal opportunity

The diversity of Locana’s employees is a tremendous asset.

The Company is firmly committed to providing equal opportunity in all aspects of employment and strives to provide each employee with a safe and healthy work environment which is free from discrimination or harassment based on age, disability, race, national origin, colour, religion or belief, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, genetics, or other factors that are unrelated to the Company’s legitimate business interests.

Locana has defined a comprehensive Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Charter. We believe in social justice, equity, anti-racism and valuing all we each uniquely bring to Locana.

We believe in hearing and respecting other points of view, and respectfully sharing our own.

We believe that Locana becomes stronger through our unique abilities and varying viewpoints.  Celebrating this strength makes our employees feel more fulfilled and invested in the success of our company.

We believe that all employees should enjoy the freedom of bringing their “whole self” to work.  We strive to ensure that each person feels comfortable sharing as much or as little of themselves with their co-workers and that this does not affect work opportunities.

We believe that all viewpoints are welcomed and can be received with an open mind by our co-workers.

We believe and understand the importance of fostering a positive workplace as a priority for our employees.

We are committed to listening, learning, and progressing as an organisation.

Wellbeing

We make it a priority to maintain a safe, healthy, respectful work environment free of bullying and harassment. The Company will not tolerate sexual advances, actions, comments or jokes related to age, disability, race, national origin, colour, religion or belief, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, genetics, or any other comments or conduct in the workplace that creates, encourages or permits an offensive, intimidating or uncomfortable work environment. Each employee has responsibility for maintaining a safe and healthy workplace for all employees by communicating and acting respectfully, participating in a company culture of open communication to sort concerns if they arise, and notifying someone in management, leadership or human resources of perceived instances of unprofessional or unlawful behaviour.

We expect all employees to follow good health and safety rules and practices and to report accidents, injuries and unsafe equipment, practices or conditions.
