  Fighting climate change

  Reduce emissions. We are as a business working hard to use our cars less, whenever possible, such as cycling, or use public transportation more often. We have also introduced our very own car sharing scheme to support a more sustainable environment by cutting down on our CO2 emitted into the atmosphere.

  Covid-19 recovery

  In addition to the organisation’s continuity recovery planning policy, our organisation recognises the need to have a separate pandemic recovery plan and procedure. The reason for this is that a general continuity recovery plan focuses on a short-term recovery programme. The effects of the pandemic could last many months. Therefore here a Acumen we have procedures set out for contingency measures that the organisation delivers, where reasonably possible, to support our employees.

  Tackling economic inequality

  Our aim is to continually increase supply chain resilience and capacity and create new jobs and skills. This includes creating a diverse supply chain including, new business growth, entrepreneurship, supporting innovation, modernising delivery, and increasing productivity.

  Equal opportunity

  We are committed to promoting equality of opportunity for all staff and job applicants. We aim to create a working environment in which all individuals are able to make best use of their skills, free from discrimination or harassment, and in which all decisions are based on merit. We do not discriminate against staff on the basis of age, disability, gender reassignment, marital or civil partner status, pregnancy or maternity, race, colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin, religion or belief, sex or sexual orientation (protected characteristics). The principles of non-discrimination and equality of opportunity also apply to the way in which our staff treats visitors, clients, customers, suppliers and former staff members. All staff have a duty to act in accordance with this policy and treat colleagues with dignity at all times, and not to discriminate against or harass other members of staff, regardless of their status.

  Wellbeing

  Acumen Cyber is committed to providing an inclusive working environment where the wellbeing of staff enables them to achieve their full potential and thrive. This commitment sits alongside, and in many ways complements, Acumen’s health and safety obligations. Fostering a working environment that supports employee wellbeing will help to deliver a positive employee experience that encourages commitment and loyalty as well as enabling both personal and collective success. Supporting staff in this way is also integral to the success of the Acumen strategy and objectives. This policy is implemented through a detailed action plan which is underpinned by the following key themes: • Collaborating with key internal and external partners to create a shared understanding of wellbeing in the workplace and to develop appropriate wellbeing interventions. • Promoting better wellbeing through an improved bank of information resources and encouraging participation in wellbeing initiatives at individual, team levels. • Training and supporting leaders and managers to manage staff effectively and compassionately, and, in doing so, create a healthy working environment. • Creating a community of wellbeing volunteers to develop and coordinate a range of ‘grassroots’ wellbeing initiatives, whilst providing opportunities for the wider company to contribute ideas and to engage and connect with other members of staff.
