  Fighting climate change

  Datalynx's sustainability strategy works to uphold SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production). As a supplier of services (rather than hardware or material goods), we have a relatively low carbon footprint and therefore focus on improving our resource efficiency and waste management.; ; We work remotely to reduce commuting pollution as well as unused office space. We have a low waste policy to reduce printing and paper usage, and we securely recycle what we do use. We also recycle hardware where secure to do so, so that computer parts can be re-used and reduce the demand on natural resource and production.

  Equal opportunity

  Another pillar of our Sustainability Strategy supports SDG 5 (Gender Equality). We are currently a 60:40 male: female split which is far in advance of the industry benchmark, and we have equal opportunity for all of our positions, both technical and in leadership and management.; ; Furthermore, we are a signatory of the Armed Forces Covenant, and have recently introduced a policy allowing all staff two days a year off work to support any charity (or equivalent) of their choice.
