Fighting climate change

During the delivery of any customer contracts, Secarma are always looking for ways to reduce our carbon footprint. Our management team have approved our commitment to halve our overall carbon emissions by 2030.

To support this, we have developed processes to allow for remote delivery of the majority of our testing and audit services which has drastically reduced our carbon footprint through the reduce need for consultants to travel to site. Unless expressly requested by a customer during delivery of our contractual services. Secarma will always look to deliver engagements remotely to minimise our carbon footprint and impact.

Outside of this we have implented the following processes to improve our commitment to help fight climate change:

We separate our waste to reduce the amount sent to landfill.
We promote a paperless office approach but use 100% recycled paper where necessary.
We are committed to reducing our environmental impact by using collaborative tools to reduce travel needs.
Our ‘Cycle to Work’ scheme provides vouchers to encourage better ways to travel to the office.
We encourage the use of public transport and car sharing and have schemes in place. Travel card loans are available to encourage use of public transport.
Staff members have access to our Electric Vehicle leasing scheme with Octopus.
We promote a high level of recycling activities and encourage our staff to reduce single use plastic.

Covid-19 recovery

During COVID-19 Secarma transitioned to a remote working model immediately with our employees having the immediate ability to work from home as they had personal work laptops and mobile phones. We have also invested in remote working and webinar tools such as Microsoft Teams which enables us to communicate and collaborate effectively internally and with customers whilst working from home and reduces the need to travel for onsite meetings. This resulted in a efficient period of transition and supported our teams to continue delivering services without customer impact to the same high standard.

On any contracted service Secarma will endeavour to support organisations and businesses to manage and recover from the impacts of COVID-19, including the remote delivery of services where appropriate to limit the risk of COVID-19 transmission and any financial costs for our customer such as expenses.

Tackling economic inequality

Throughout Secarma’s growth and expansion, we as a business have created new jobs and developed skills to tackle economic equality and through our security assurance and consultancy offerings. Help our customers to identify gaps within their information security teams which could be filled via recruitment activities or staff training and development.

Secarma have tackled this challenge by rethinking our corporate social responsibility and recruitment policies and requirements. Allowing us to explore conversations with candidates who have been unsuccessful or unlucky in previous recruitment opportunities, designed collaborative initiatives with universities and school leavers, implement more flexible hybrid working policies, put a greater emphasis on investment in skills and career development for internal staff members and ensuring all staff members earn a living wage.

By doing this we also add value to our customer engagements by reviewing risks within their own supply chains which may not have been considered such as legacy, unauthorised or vetted subcontractors or suppliers, excessive working hours that could lead to a disgruntled employee becoming an insider threat, deviations from social media or branding best practices that could lead to potential defamation risks alongside many others.

Equal opportunity

Secarma have defined ‘Equal Opportunity’ and ‘Equality and Diversity’ policies in line with our ISO policies and management systems. Which outline our commitment to providing equal opportunities to all employees. These are taken into consideration across the delivery of all customer engagements within the scope of a proposed customer contract and when looking to recruit new staff members or explore career progression opportunities for staff members.

Wellbeing

To ensure Secarma staff are happy, healthy and feel like they have a safe environment they can succeed and excel in even when non office based and working remotely.

We set ourselves the aim of creating an open door culture that promoted openness to remove stigma around mental health concerns and honesty on tackling mental and physical health challenges. We implemented several mental and physical wellbeing initiatives that are available to all staff members. These include:
Dedicated Mental Health First Aiders- Our MHFA team members play a key role in supporting colleagues across the company.
External access to trained specialist counsellors where required
AXA Doctor at Hand - providing a private online GP service, available 24x7 for all staff members.
Access to AXA Private Medical Insurance
Quarterly Team Building Events, Socials and our Annual Snowdon Hiking Trip and Skills School
Saved links to commonly used external support and mental health services - including Samaritans, Mind, CALM, Anxiety UK, Mind Out and several smaller community charities.

Additionally, all members of the Secarma Leadership and Management Team have an Open Door Policy and are available if employees need someone to talk to without having to go through their line manager.
