Fighting climate change

Pisys is deeply committed to contributing to the global effort of carbon footprint reduction and aligning our operations with the UK Government's Net Zero 2050 target. Our approach is multifaceted, encompassing operations changes, strategic project management, supply chain monitoring and engaging our workforce in our environmental goals. Here's a detailed look at our initiatives and plans:
Operations Changes:
Renewable Energy: We aim to transition to 100% renewable energy by 2026.
Carbon Emissions Reduction: Our goal is to reduce hardware carbon emissions by 70% by 2030, emphasising circular computing procurement to achieve this target.
Fleet Transition: We have transitions 50% of our fleet to electric. By 2030, we plan to convert the rest of our vehicle fleet to electric, supporting the wider transition to low-emission transportation.
Waste Management: Adhering to Green Dragon benchmarking and WEEE regulations, we are committed to using recycled packaging and achieving zero waste to landfill by 2030.
Sustainability Reporting: Starting in 2024, we will publish an annual sustainability report to showcase our environmental performance and drive continuous improvement.
Plastic Free Champions: Our offices, especially in coastal Swansea, focus on recycling and reducing plastic waste, aligning with initiatives like plasticfree.org.uk.
Strategic Project Management for CO2 Footprint Reduction:
Delivery and Warehousing Efficiency: By tracking delivery distances and consolidating goods, we aim to minimise trips and associated emissions.
Sustainable Project Options: Advising clients on energy-efficient solutions to ensure long-term environmental and financial benefits.

Tackling economic inequality

Our Award Winning apprenticeship scheme has seen remarkable success since 2018. Remarkably, 85% of our apprentices have been offered and accepted full-time positions within our company, illustrating the scheme's effectiveness in providing meaningful career paths. Their journeys from apprentices to roles such as engineers, senior solutions specialists and even management positions testify to the program's success and our dedication to internal career development.

In 2023, we hired two Help Desk Apprentices, one Degree Apprentice, and five individuals through the PLA Programme. Additionally, two 16-17 year-olds embarked on NVQ Level 2 IT Professional qualifications. Our commitment extends to hiring a sales administrator apprentice through Job Growth Wales Plus.

A landmark initiative for 2024 is our partnership with local Colleges, set to offer project-based placements to students specialising in IT, Marketing and eCommerce. This initiative is designed to offer real-world experience to students, bridging the gap between academic learning and practical application. Through this partnership, we aim to bring fresh perspectives into our operations while providing students with invaluable insights into the industry, equipping them with the skills and experience needed to thrive in their future careers. Our commitment extends to teaching IT productivity and security skills in local schools, empowering the community with valuable technological knowledge. In 2023 alone, we devoted 8 days to conducting mock interviews at schools and colleges for year 10, 11, and 12 pupils, providing them with vital experience and guidance in crafting effective responses during interviews.

Pisys's dedication to employment and skills is showcased through diverse initiatives and partnerships. We collaborate with specialised recruitment agencies, including FirstGens for first-generation university students and the Diversity Jobs Group, supporting ethnic minorities and those facing long-term unemployment.

Wellbeing

Supporting our team's professional and personal growth is a key priority. Our pioneering 4-Day Week initiative has been a testament to our commitment to work-life balance, leading to enhanced productivity and job satisfaction. In the realm of professional development, we encourage employees to complete training sessions with manufacturers and even provide bonus schemes for those completing training in line with our strategic goals, such as cyber security, Microsoft certifications, accreditations that secure Gold and Platimum status for Pisys. We also have a catalogue of Free training with Pisys eCampus for both Pisys staff and our customers on topics such as cyber security, remote working, Microsoft 365, wellbeing, Windows 10 and 11, leadership, customer service, selling skills and more.
