  Fighting climate change

  Pro DBA are committed to environmental sustainability and abide by ISO 14001 for which we are audited every year. So for example, we try to ensure that as much as possible, we are a paper free company and when we do need to use paper for the minimal amount of printing required, the paper is FSC registered (paper from responsible sources) and is part of 'The Green Range' (paper from well-managed forests or 100% recycled). The company also seeks to constantly identify and automate business processes - and thus ensure there is less demand on electricity usage as the processes become streamlined. We also use LED lighting so that, again, less electricity power is required

  Covid-19 recovery

  Pro DBA introduced a hybrid working model as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic - with people working in the office 2/3 days a week and working from home 2/3 days a week. Prior to the pandemic, everyone worked in the office 5 days a week. We also installed screens between workstations.

  Tackling economic inequality

  Pro DBA have signed up to the Living Wage Foundation and is an accredited Liver Wage Employer.; Pro DBA always endeavour to recruit locally. As much as possible, we invest in the local economy. We have in the recent past contributed to Emmaus and CCHF All About Kids. We have also provided free DBA support for Save the Children. Pro DBA supports local food banks - FareShare in London and the Edinburgh Food Project - with the intention of allowing staff to volunteer work time to working with the charity.

  Equal opportunity

  Pro DBA are an equal opportunities employer and believe in diversity in the workplace. The only criteria for working for the company is the ability to do the job required or to be prepared to train for it. All applicants will be considered for employment without attention to race, colour, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, or disability status.

  Wellbeing

  Wellbeing is important to Pro DBA. We take mental health seriously and encourage all staff to talk with their line managers whenever they feel the need to air any mental health issues that are causing concern. All staff are automatically enrolled onto the company private healthcare program and within that there is scope to seek support from an Employee Assistance Programme.
