Our change management process is based on the Agile principles of software development. We work in iterative cycles, each aiming to improve or extend our software.
Requests for change and bug reports come in to product and are noted in as much detail as possible into our task management software. Then, before each development iteration, product and development triage new requirements, briefly discussing the scope and ramifications of each. These requirements then get placed into the development backlog of work according to the outcome of this discussion, and the entire backlog is then re-assessed against current priorities. - Vulnerability management type

Fighting climate change
Arribatec has an environmental policy geared towards minimising our environmental impact. We have an Environmental Management System and are working towards a goal of being carbon neutral by 2030. Progress towards this, and other ESG goals, is reported each year as part of our Annual Report. We have ensured that all our data centres have green electricity
certificates and that the suppliers are chosen based on their environmental performance.
Our environmental policy also includes such activities as recycling material wherever possible, and an increasing effort to minimise travel. We have a goal of re-using or recycling all electronic waste by 2026 and our progress towards this is measured in our environmental management system.
We have significantly reduced our business travel over recent years, taking advantage of remote working technologies to allow us to do this. Our UK head office is notable for its many eco-friendly credentials including solar and photovoltaic panels on the roof, and ground source heat pumps to supply natural heating. We support the cycle to work scheme which is utilised by head office staff in travel to and from our head office.
Furthermore, he nature of our work in automating and increasing the efficiency of transaction processing, and moving processes to the cloud where possible, has a naturally beneficial environmental impact.
We publish an annual ESG report, which is available on request or via our website, which also contains details of our ESG commitment and our on-going ESG activities including climate change.Covid-19 recovery
As a business, we weathered the Covid 19 epidemic well, and are proud that we were able to continue business without any furloughing or loss of staff. The rapid deployment of new ways of working allowed us to continue to service our customers’ needs. We instigated a number of measures around social distancing and remote working which allowed us to operate effectively during the pandemic and which will continue to allow us to operate effectively through Covid-19 recovery. We anticipate that the effectiveness of these measures will leave us well placed to create further employment opportunities in the high growth technology sector in which we operate. We also work with various service providers to offer physical and mental health support services to those who need it and regularly incorporate discussion of well-being issues in company meetings.Tackling economic inequality
We are proud to have supported, and we continue to support, sub-contractors in the growth of their businesses through both financial assistance and collaborative working. This includes assistance to small business start-ups, and close collaboration with partners, to develop lower cost/higher quality solutions and boost mutual growth. Scalable and future-proofed technologies and solutions are integral to what we do.
As an operator in a high growth technology sector we have, over many years, provided, and will continue to provide, significant investment in support and training in technology to both our customers and our own staff including towards a number of recognised accreditations. Identification of skills gaps, and plans to address these, are frequent features of our work.
We hold Cyber Security accreditations which include plans for the identification and management of cyber security risks. Cyber security briefings are a regular part of information sharing sessions in the company. Parts of our business have and maintain special expertise in cyber security, and their services are offered to our customers to help them build resilience.Equal opportunity
Arribatec has an Equal Opportunities Policy which states our firm belief in equality, diversity and respect for all, including those with a disability. It is our policy that all employment decisions are based on merit and the legitimate business needs of the organisation. Arribatec recognises the value of an inclusive environment in which people from differing backgrounds and experiences are encouraged to offer fresh ideas and perspectives. We monitor our workforce diversity (with 29 different nationalities currently represented in the group), and our age and gender balance, including salary ratios. We undertake succession planning, monitor and respond to employee satisfaction across a range of measures, and undertake personal development planning for all staff. Our intention is to enable all our staff to work in an environment which allows them to fulfil their potential without fear of discrimination, harassment or victimisation
We publish an annual ESG report, which is available on request, or via our website, which also contains details of our ESG commitment and our on-going ESG activities including Equal Opportunities.Wellbeing
Arribatec aims to be a supportive and flexible employer and has supported staff through difficult periods in terms of both mental and physical health. We include regular presentations on the subject of mental and physical well-being in our company meetings and offer training and support in these areas. We have a range of services available to staff through our healthcare and pension providers. We run periodic team building exercises with the aim of supporting staff to support each other.
We also engage in various community-based activities to support the communities in which we work. This includes volunteering and fundraising activities, some of which are undertaken jointly with our customers, and we have a regular programme of social events.
We publish an annual ESG report, which is available on request or via our website, which also contains details of our ESG commitment and our on-going ESG activities including on employee wellbeing.
