Fighting climate change

European Electronique recognises the importance of environmental issues and responsible energy usage is an integral part of our company ethos and forms a part of our Environmental Policy. As such we only partner with manufacturers such as DELL, ACER, HP Inc, HPE, Lenovo, Microsoft, and Circular Computing all of which have stringent design criteria for energy efficient products. Our Product Managers for each of our vendor partners regularly obtain information with regards to new product specifications and energy usage. These Product Managers make sure that the specification for each product meet our strict energy usage standards. The information is kept within our Quality Management System and document library. This enables both our Sales teams and Technical staff to access this information when required for issue to Contracting Bodies.

Covid-19 recovery

European Electronique (EE) understands the challenges posed by COVID-19, and we are dedicated to supporting economic recovery and enhancing social value in alignment with the Public Services (Social Value) Act 2012. We understand the importance of building resilience, not only within our organisation but also within the communities and public sector organisations we serve. Our approach encompasses a comprehensive range of skills development opportunities, tailored to address the evolving needs of the IT sector and the wider public services ecosystem.

Our commitment is two-fold, focusing on enhancing the capabilities of our workforce and providing skills development opportunities to members of the wider public sector and contracting authorities utilising this Framework Agreement.

Tackling economic inequality

EE believes in the power of education and skill development as catalysts for economic recovery and social improvement. Our approach encompasses both accredited and non-accredited training, along with a focus on soft and practical skills, demonstrates our commitment to adding value and supporting the communities we serve.

Equal opportunity

For several years, European Electronique has proudly run these apprenticeship schemes, annually welcoming around 10 new apprentices across various roles, including technical, administrative, and sales positions. The apprenticeship, spanning over two years, is meticulously structured to incorporate both external and internal training sessions. This comprehensive training regime is aimed at not only imparting essential skills but also facilitating the attainment of accreditations that are instrumental for a prosperous career.
Our apprenticeship programs are a cornerstone of our broader Corporate Responsibility initiative, demonstrating our unwavering dedication to sustainable and responsible business practices. Through these programs, we forge lasting bonds of trust with all stakeholders, including customers, suppliers, professionals, and the wider community. Our actions in Corporate Responsibility underscore our pledge to not just business excellence but also to making a positive impact on the environment and society at large.
EE is prepared to provide framework members up to 3 placements. This approach ensures that both EE and members not only comply with the Public Services (Social Value) Act 2012 but also contribute significantly to the recovery and growth post-COVID-19, tackling economic inequality, and providing meaningful opportunities to students and communities.

Wellbeing

European Electroniques's (EE) culture and values revolves around giving back to the communities we work within. We firmly believe that business should not only be about profit, but also about creating and adding value to society.
