Fighting climate change

Moving to cloud can help fight climate change through moving to more sustainable facilities. The process of moving to cloud can also identify opportunities to streamline technology needs and reduce the overall hardware requirements, also positively impacting sustainability

Covid-19 recovery

Moving to cloud often enables improved ways of working for employees or improved contact points for customers, both of which are in support of different working styles and improved mental and physical health

Tackling economic inequality

Moving to cloud can create new requirements for the organisation based on a shift in the IT operating model, leading to opportunities for skills change and possible new roles. It also supports development of new services and capabilities from cloud providers which can lead to new jobs and skills

Equal opportunity

In support of our equal opportunities policy all of our projects make use of our diverse community of employees. We always look for opportunities to engage with our customers around multiple topics, including where we can share learning and good practice in areas such as equality and equal opportunities

Wellbeing

Moving to cloud can enable improved ways of working for employees, supporting different working styles which help with both physical and mental health. In addition, the ability of cloud to enable remote working helps to build more diverse project and organisational communities through equal access to services and communications
