Fighting climate change
As an organisation we are committed to reducing our impact on the environment and working with our staff, suppliers, customers and partners to embed this in our work.
Our organisational model is built around effectively utilising technology to minimise travel, with hybrid working and working from home as the default model. Where travel is nescessary we utilise public transport or low carbon travel options.
We utilise recycled and refurbished technology through reputable and credible suppliers to minimise the impact of our technology and actively discourage paper products (unless required for accessibility) to minimise the waste from our work.Tackling economic inequality
Tackling economic inequality is central to our corporate mission. Our work with entrepreneurs and small and medium sized enterprises is focussed on creating business communities that are resilient, learn from each other and are able to scale.
As an organisation we provide coaching and mentoring both 1:1 and in groups to small businesses to build reflective practices, whilst bringing organisations together to explore opportunities to grow together.
We also provide more specialist support to individuals from deprived backgrounds, working with charities and not for profit organisations to support both their staff and the users in building core skills that are necessary in a modern workplace.
