Fighting climate change

We are committed to playing our part to fight climate change and protect the environment. We have a carbon reduction plan aligned to the government objective to achieve Net Zero emissions. Our fighting climate change / pro-environment measures include: • Reduce carbon emissions by replacing our company car fleet with fully electric vehicles • Avoid unnecessary travel by encouraging remote working / online meetings when possible and supporting principle of localisation • Avoid wasted heating and lighting impacts by continuing with managed office strategy • Produce little to no waste in our business activities by continuing our commitment to a paperless office • Build awareness amongst our workforce of the impact of their decisions on our journey to Net Zero • Conduction emissions monitoring and reporting in the yearly update to our Carbon reduction plan • Influencing employees to set their own carbon reductions targets in line with our commitment to achieving Net Zero

Tackling economic inequality

In order to create employment and training opportunities particularly for those who face barriers to employment and/or who are located in areas of economic inequality, IdentityE2E focusses on and supports the following: • AWS re/Start workshops for those retraining, including those who face barriers to employment, such as prison leavers • Remote working, enabling those located in deprived areas to more readily access employment opportunities • Measures to ensure equality and accessibility • Educational attainment, including training schemes that address skills gaps and result in recognised qualifications • Promotion of awareness of recruitment opportunities, relating to known skills shortages or in high growth sectors • Mentoring, CV advice, interview practice, careers guidance and volunteering opportunities to support in-work career progression and development, including into areas of known skills shortages and high growth • Apprenticeships, work placements • Recruitment practices and employment conditions to attract candidates from all backgrounds, minimise turnover of staff and improve productivity

Equal opportunity

IdentityE2E is fully committed to supporting and promoting diversity and equal opportunity for all, and compliance with equality legislation including safeguarding of protected characteristics. IdentityE2E recognises that discrimination and victimisation is unacceptable and that it is in the interests of the Company and its employees to utilise the skills of the total workforce. It is the aim of the Company to ensure that no employee or job applicant receives less favourable facilities or treatment (either directly or indirectly) in recruitment or employment on grounds of age, disability, gender / gender reassignment, marriage / civil partnership, pregnancy / maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, or sexual orientation (the protected characteristics). Our company policies cover Diversity and Inclusion and how important it is that everyone working for IdentityE2E understands about equality and diversity and how to operate in a non-discriminatory and inclusive way. As an experienced Government supplier, IdentityE2E has been complying with central Government policy and behaviours in relation to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion, supported by the necessary legislation, since the formation of the company. Our company policy documentation and considerations cover the relevant themes and aspects of Diversity and Equal Opportunities, including: • Objective of policy • Designated officer, communication and reporting • Definition of discrimination • Types of discrimination • Unlawful reasons for discrimination • Positive action in recruitment • Reasonable adjustments • Responsibly for the implementation of our company policy • Action taken when discriminatory behaviour is suspected or reported • Advice and support available on discrimination

Wellbeing

IdentityE2E has a foundation of strong social and moral values, with a focus on looking after our teams and their families and to improve their health and wellbeing during their employment/engagement with us. To demonstrate action to support digital wellbeing and physical and mental health, IdentityE2E undertakes we encourage our teams to: • Take screen breaks at regular intervals • Use tools provided by Google/Apple to place limits on device usage and allow quiet times • Take suitable meal breaks • Ensure appropriate exercise and fresh air • Use conversations rather than relying on email/text • Attend company team-bonding/celebrating success social events • Insist on suitable breaks during the Christmas, Easter and summer periods. (As a company, we embrace the “furlough” periods.) The company ethos described in the opening paragraph derives directly from the personal convictions of the Executive Directors and, therefore, flows “top down” throughout the company and our team. It is this cornerstone from which the ability to influence staff, suppliers, customers and communities to support health and wellbeing, including physical and mental health is derived. An example is the company’s outward-looking focus and significant involvement in charitable activities. At a personal level, members of our teams are assigned a buddy or mentor during their initial period of induction. This helps to alleviate stress and pressure that accompanies starting a new role. The relationship established continues thereafter and provides another mechanism for influencing and monitoring wellbeing.
