Fighting climate change

Fighting Climate Change – policy outcome: effective stewardship of the environment.

We recognise the urgency required to fight climate change and have made, and are committed to delivering, the SME Climate Change Commitment:

- Recognising that climate change poses a threat to the economy, nature and society-at-large, our company commits to take action immediately in order to:

- Halve our greenhouse gas emissions before 2030.

- Achieve net zero emissions before 2050.

- Disclose our progress on a yearly basis.

In doing so, we are proud to be recognised by the United Nations Race to Zero campaign, and join governments, businesses, cities, regions, and universities around the world with the same mission.

Covid-19 recovery

Covid-19 Recovery – policy outcome: helping local communities to manage and recover from the impact of COVID-19.

COVID-19 has accelerated the growth in demand for digital services. This has highlighted the significant, and growing, digital skills gap. We see a huge opportunity for home-grown talent to help fill this gap and contribute to the economy. We are working closely with local schools, as Enterprise Advisors, to help them deliver their careers programmes. We offer work experience and are involved in promoting work experience to other businesses.

We have a structured career path for our technical skills supporting staff at the start of their careers with training and support to help us grow digital talent. Through our engagement with younger people, we are actively working to encourage young people into the industry.

The pace of technical change is relentless and we also recognise the difficulties that academic staff have in keeping their computing curriculums relevant, so we are also working to engage with local schools’ computing faculties to support them with industry-relevant guidance.
