Fighting climate change

C3IA is fully committed to delivering social value in our day-to-day business operations and in our commercial activities.

We care about the environment and are committed to decreasing our already small environmental footprint. Our dedication to achieving Net Zero no later than 2050 is demonstrated through our annual Carbon Reduction plan where we outline our reduction targets and initiatives; we transparently share this on our website. We are also working to achieve ISO 14001, Environmental Management, to further demonstrate our enthusiasm towards the environment and reducing our impacts.

Where Fighting Climate Change is a buyer-specified SV requirement for a contract we will commit to delivering appropriate value under the Policy Outcome ‘Effective stewardship of the environment’, and the associated Model Award Criteria benefits.

We will provide information in our proposal about how we will add value during the contract period and post contract award we will work with clients and the supply chain to deliver the agreed outcomes. We will report social value information as agreed with the client and respond to all reasonable requests in an open, honest and transparent manner, subject to commercial or confidentiality constraints within the supply chain.

C3IA will monitor contracted SV activity at Board level to ensure our commitments are met.

We care about COVID-19 recovery and throughout the pandemic and beyond have supported all employees across the business. We heavily invest in the continual professional development of our staff, which we consider is of the upmost importance. The physical and mental health and wellbeing of all our staff is vital, therefore we provide numerous internal and external support and helplines for all employees and all our line managers have undertaken specialist line manager mental health training. Furthermore, we have supported and continue to support local schools and sports teams as we understand the importance they have to individuals and their future. Finally, we have embraced hybrid working, utilising technology to effectively collaborate and communicate with individuals and teams across the business.

We proactively engage with local schools, colleges and universities to encourage STEM participation and interest, especially in those from disadvantaged backgrounds and socially deprived areas, offering presentations and demonstrations from our team to inspire the next generation into the ICT & Cyber Security industry. Alongside this, we host work experience for higher and further education so individuals can learn more about the industry and how to successfully enter it.

We care about equal opportunities and this forms apart of everything that we do, as demonstrated throughout our company policies. Our commitment is also demonstrated by our inclusion of bullying & harassment and equality, diversity and inclusion training as part of our e-learning service that all employees have access to.

We employ a wide-ranging workforce which include many ex-service men and women, irrespective of age, gender or socioeconomic background. Every employee is enrolled in our CPD programme where they are encouraged to maintain momentum by completing industry and role specific courses and qualifications to aid their personal progression. Finally, we require our people and supply chain at all levels to uphold the same values where we actively prevent discrimination, harassment & bullying.

We have implemented an e-learning management system which includes focus on mental health and wellbeing and have weekly communication explaining both the internal and external support that is available.
