Fighting climate change

At Fat Potato, we integrate environmental sustainability into our operations and service delivery. We give precedence to energy-efficient practices not only in our cloud-native architectures and software solutions but also in our coding practices. By employing low carbon software engineering approaches, such as optimising algorithms, reducing computational complexity, and minimising resource-intensive processes, we aim to further reduce carbon emissions associated with software development and operation. Through influencing our staff, suppliers, and clients, we advocate for eco-friendly practices throughout the software development lifecycle, fostering environmental protection and improvement. Additionally, we actively seek out and promote the use of green data centres and renewable energy sources for hosting our solutions, further aligning our technology infrastructure with our commitment to fighting climate change.

Tackling economic inequality

As a small organisation ourselves, we are deeply committed to fostering economic growth and social mobility within our community. Our training programmes and employment initiatives are tailored to individuals facing barriers to employment or located in deprived areas, aiming to provide them with opportunities for economic empowerment. By focusing on high-growth sectors and addressing skills gaps, we aim to create employment and training opportunities that promote economic inclusion and equality. Additionally, we actively engage with local communities and stakeholders to identify and address challenges related to economic inequality, working collaboratively to create a more inclusive and prosperous society.

Equal opportunity

We proactively address inequality in employment, skills, and pay within our organisation and supply chain. Our recruitment and training initiatives prioritise diversity and inclusion, providing pathways for individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds to access opportunities and develop relevant skills. Additionally, we implement policies to ensure ethical sourcing and fair labour practices, mitigating modern slavery risks and promoting equality throughout our operations.
