Fighting climate change
Nash Squared is dedicated to combating climate change and publishes an annual Sustainability Report detailing our objectives and strategy for the year. We aim to achieve Carbon Neutrality by 2050, with a target of 2041 for Scope 1 and 2 emissions, and have outlined our approach in a published Carbon Neutral Plan.
By moving to cloud servers we have reduced our IT energy usage. The move to cloud hosting is being completed across all regions in 2022. Printing has been dramatically reduced and is actively discouraged where appropriate. We are optimising the operation of building cooling and heating systems and introducing low energy lighting wherever appropriate and feasible. In most of our offices we have moved to a majority of energy-saving LED light fittings. This will be expanded further in 2022. Our Belgian offices have solar panels for electricity production, reducing the use of electricity generated from coal-fired power stations. We will be moving towards renewables in other parts of the Group in 2022 and beyond. Used IT equipment is disposed of responsibly using suppliers that operate according to our Supplier Code of Conduct. IT equipment is also donated to charities where possible.
Examples of initiatives we can support or run-in collaboration with clients include:
• Volunteering Days: Nash Squared can commit to volunteering days at regular intervals throughout the service period to raise awareness of environmental impact across Manchester communities, including taking part in community conservation days to improve local biodiversity.
• Green Space Development: Nash Squared will commit to maintaining and enhancing green spaces to support biodiversity and health and wellbeing across local client communities. Our teams can support green space maintenance and development including donating trees or plants to enhance communal green spaces within underprivileged areas, or general maintenance of these areas.Covid-19 recovery
Nash Squared operates throughout the UK, with offices in nine towns and cities. Our regional branches are dedicated to engaging with their local communities to bolster SMEs and established businesses within a circular economy. We collaborate closely with our clients to create Social Value plans that enhance their local economies as an integral component of the programs we implement.
To support Covid-19 recovery, Nash Squared delivers career advice/workshops to employment agencies, colleges and community partners aimed at decreasing long-term unemployment (which rose to 13% amongst youths during 2020). We attend career-fairs and promote employment/training schemes (including live careers events) to enhance understanding of the employment market. We help people develop LinkedIn profiles through 1:1 coaching/mentoring. We encourage support for and participation in local and national outreach and skills development events - partnering with schools, colleges, community partners and prisons to provide advice on Tech careers. We will consult with clients to advise on events we can deliver, as well as opportunities for individuals across all demographics to upskill or retrain to support focused career mobility as part of a future talent pipeline.Tackling economic inequality
Nash Squared ardently supports the Public Sector Levelling Up agenda and actively engages with communities to offer opportunities to individuals from disadvantaged or minority backgrounds. Our expansive network champions minority groups by promoting women in technology and advancing female leadership, as well as supporting the BAME community. In collaboration with our clients, we establish programs that bolster their ED&I goals and develop targeted approaches to facilitate these objectives.
Nash Squared is partnered with Working Links Justice, School of Hard Knocks, EvenBreak, BERA Race, Ethnicity & Equality Network, and The Race Ratio (to name just a few), demonstrating that social value, fair and equal access to opportunity and professional ethics are at the heart of our organisation.
Examples of initiatives we have delivered include mentoring days (Working Links Justice) and CV workshops and presentations through EvenBreak and School of Hard Knocks. Our consultants aim to instil confidence in individuals returning to work and will engage with Clients to agree the most appropriate initiatives and community partners to support employability.Equal opportunity
Nash Squared takes pride in being an equal opportunity employer. We are a certified Disability Confident employer with a robust Equal Opportunities policy, dedicated to supporting individuals who are differently-abled or need flexible working arrangements, such as mothers returning to work.
Nash Squared has been delivering Tech Talk Podcasts to a targeted Technology and IT audience since 2008, regularly featuring in iTunes Top 20 charts. Leveraging podcast capability, we provide regular releases of Diversity and Equality Toolkits - a series of podcasts with chairman, CEOs and directors sharing their tips and success secrets on driving diversity and inclusion in their businesses. This provides opportunity for viewers to develop an understanding of shaping culture, the importance of tenacity, learning from mistakes, passion, compassion and, even, courage. Businesses of all shapes, sizes and sectors can take ideas, guidance, and inspiration from these stories as they set out on their own narrative of discovery. The toolkit forms part of internal initiative Inspire's, 'Simple Acts' campaign to change the way the UK does business. Tech Talks podcasts can be leveraged to support increased equality and awareness for clients and their teams, as well as local SMEs, MSMEs and VCSEs.Wellbeing
A happy workforce is a productive workforce. Following the pandemic, we have seen a massive increase in the need to ensure talent, both temporary and permanent, achieve work / life balance, reduce burnout and improve retention. We support mental wellness across our global business, offering clients and candidates access to Nash Squared’s Wellness Hub - a digital toolkit which promotes personal and professional development, access to training and upskilling advice, resources and opportunities, advice on managing stress and increasing personal and professional wellness, interactive sessions with wellness and fitness gurus and meditation and nutrition advice. The Wellbeing hub is accessible not only to our employees and their families but also to our contractors, candidates, and customers.
