  Fighting climate change

  Capita will work with buyers to find suitable initiatives that align with the social value theme of Fighting Climate Change during call-off stages of G-Cloud 14. These will be customised to meet buyers' specific requirements and fit with our overall environmental strategy. This ensures that the commitments we deliver are relevant and impactful for the specific community and stakeholders involved ensuring a legacy of social impact that is both achievable and meaningful.; ; Capita is dedicated to delivering environmental benefits as part of its services. We understand the need to work towards net zero greenhouse gas emissions and to support environmental protection and improvement. Our Net Zero Strategy aims to achieve operational net zero by 2030, operational plus travel net zero by 2035, and full net zero, including the supply chain, by 2045. The strategy involves switching to renewable energy sources, cutting travel emissions, and moving to electric vehicles for our fleet. Capita also wants to help our clients and suppliers in their environmental efforts, by providing technology and solutions that support environmental sustainability and by engaging in partnerships that advance climate action.; ; To inspire our 43,000 employees to work more environmentally sustainably, we introduced a new environmental standard in 2023, which sets out Capita’s environmental commitments and obligations and includes an environmental training module for all employees to back up the environmental standard and net zero commitment. We encourage our employees to use their one-day volunteer allowance to support environmental activity such as litter picks or beach clean-up days and will leverage existing relationships and programmes to fulfil our commitments.; ; To provide transparency and accountability, Capita has set up reliable measurement and reporting mechanisms. These include environmental targets covering energy, climate change, conservation, and biodiversity, which are publicly reported to track progress towards the net zero goals.

This is particularly significant in addressing the digital divide that was highlighted during the pandemic, ensuring that all members of society have equal opportunities to access essential services and information.; ; Capita has undertaken various initiatives to aid in the recovery from Covid-19, focusing on supporting people and communities, as well as organizations and businesses. These initiatives include improving workplace conditions for safe operations, providing digital and financial support programs, and setting up virtual contact centre solutions.

We have developed a framework for responsible automation, supported people within our communities to harness the power of automation, advocated greater diversity within the tech sector and promoted accessible digital skills education. Our commitment to inclusive recruitment and the use of a diverse supply chain, which includes small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), and mutuals, further demonstrates our dedication to reducing economic inequality.; ; Capita's supplier charter outlines equitable supplier relationships, and we are an active member of Business in the Community which reflects our ongoing efforts to identify and address inequality within our workforce and operations. With a significant portion of our supply chain (92%) comprising SMEs, Capita's practices promote greater use of these entities, thereby contributing to a more balanced economic landscape.; ; Through these measures, Capita's G-Cloud service provision will not only support the social value theme of Tackling Economic Inequality but also align with the company's purpose-led, responsible business ethos, creating better outcomes for society at large.

This is complemented by partnerships with organizations like Forces Family Jobs and Vercida, the UK's largest disability-focused jobs website. ; Promotion, pay and reward processes: We recognise the contributions of all colleagues, supporting and paying them fairly for the work they do.
