Fighting climate change
We recognise the impact companies have on the environment we all live in. We are committed to being net zero by 2050 in the UK. The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) has validated our near-term emission reduction target of 65% by FY30 against our FY19 baseline as being in line with minimizing global warming to 1.5°C. In FY23, 96% of the energy we purchased in the UK was renewable. We are continually improving the efficiency of our offices and data centers, and are ensuring that our data centers are certified under the ISO 50001 energy management system standard. We are also advancing the sustainability of our IT services, helping our customers to become more sustainable. We are members of the Green Software Foundation, a non-profit with the mission to build a trusted ecosystem of people, standards, tooling and best practices for creating and building green software. We help our customers increase their energy efficiency and reduce their environmental impacts with proprietary technology and next-generation solutions such as cloud computing, desktop virtualization and data center management. We will build on our existing programme of sustainability activities to deliver additional environmental benefits in the performance of the contract.Tackling economic inequality
We provide high-quality learning and development opportunities to young people via our Early Careers Programme and Digital Futures Academy. Our Early Careers Programme provides development opportunities and training to enable young people to jumpstart their careers. We focus on developing potential, and our programme is designed to broaden and deepen knowledge. DXC and Manchester United Foundation have partnered to launch the DXC Digital Futures Academy, a four-year education programme for secondary-school students in the Greater Manchester area. The academy aims to support, inspire and empower young people, connecting them to opportunities and enhancing their career prospects in the technology sector. 50 students aged 12-13 years old are participating in the programme, which includes teaching technology, personal and professional development skills. We will build upon our existing programme of activities to create new jobs and new skills during the performance of the contract.Equal opportunity
We are building an inclusive, high-impact culture based on equitable practices and diverse employee perspectives. We achieve this through our focus on impact-driven programmes - for example, the DXC Dandelion Programme. The DXC Dandelion Programme provides an environment that supports and celebrates the talents and skills of neurodiverse people — such as those with Autism, ADHD or Dyslexia — and helps them build valuable skills to pursue a career in information technology. The DXC Dandelion Programme has been awarded a Silver award for Best Learning Programme that Supports and Promotes Diversity, Equity and Inclusion from the Brandon Hall Group. We are also a Disability Confident organisation in the UK and achieved a top score of 100 in the 2023 Disability Equality Index. 99% of our global workforce is enabled to work virtually, including from home, and all of our people are able to apply for flexible working, supporting the needs of diverse individuals. We also support a diverse, inclusive and equitable culture through our Employee Resource Groups. They provide support, networking and allyship to diverse individuals, as well as valuable feedback to the organisation on how it can better support diverse communities. Our ERGs work closely with HR to continuously evolve our best practice. We have several ERGs including for:
• Gender
• Race and ethnicity
• Disability and neurodiversity
• LGBTQ+
• Armed forces
We will build upon our existing programme of diversity, equity and inclusion activities to support equal opportunity during the performance of the contract.Wellbeing
Caring is core to our values. We take care of each other and work as a team to build a sustainable company that supports our communities. This includes supporting the health and wellbeing of our people and wider society. As a virtual first organisation, 99% of our global workforce is enabled to work virtually, including from home. Working from home can be more inclusive for people with disabilities, health conditions and caring responsibilities. We also run several programmes to support the physical and mental health of our people. This includes:
Wellbeing Awareness Programmes. Working with our partners and delivered by Wellbeing Champions alongside HR, we provide a number of awareness programmes and activities throughout the year centered on improving the health and wellbeing of our employees. For example, walking challenges, healthy eating programmes, and financial planning support.
Employee Assistance Programme, supporting the personal matters of our people. Services are available 24/7, 365 days a year, and include counselling, online CBT and critical incident support, as well as health checks, mood trackers, and wellbeing articles.
Mental Health First Aiders. We work with Mental Health First Aid England, a social enterprise, to train our employees as Mental Health First Aiders (MHFAs).
We will build upon our existing programme of wellbeing activities to support the wellbeing of the workforce in the performance of the contract.
