Social Value

• Fighting climate change:

  Fighting climate change

  In our work as Expert Advisors to 17 United Nations agencies, we are delivering technology services which help our clients measure and monitor both direct and indirect carbon emissions as defined by the Kyoto Protocol. ; ; All technology services offered on G-Cloud have been created with the intention of supporting H.M. Government meeting the procurement requirements of PPN 0621 and specifically users to create their Carbon Reduction Plans. ; ; Our data centre provider is a Corporate Participant in the European Code of Conduct for Energy Efficiency in Data Centres programme and recently won an award from the COC for adopting innovative technologies to improve data centre energy efficiency and reduce energy consumption. An example is the use of fuel cells that use a proprietary solid oxide technology to generate electricity through a clean electrochemical process. The process significantly reduces carbon emissions, saves water that would have been used in conventional power generation, and virtually eliminates harmful oxides and particulate emissions. All our data centres have ISO 50001 certification, awarded by Lloyd's Register Quality Assurance, which requires an ongoing commitment to energy management and continuous improvement in energy performance. We are also certified for ISO 14001, which provides assurance that environmental impact is being measured and improved. Our data centres are also ENERGY STAR certified. ENERGY STAR is a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency programme that assesses how efficiently a facility uses energy compared to similar facilities. A calculation similar to power usage effectiveness (PUE) is among the metrics considered for ENERGY STAR data centre certification. Additional specifics are available on request as part of the procurement process.; ; We are currently extending this work to deliver a membership service that enables start-ups, SMEs, VCEs and mutuals to access technology, tools, materials and support that enable them to create their own Carbon Reduction Plans.

We have used this technology to create inclusion strategies for GDP growth in the G20, EU Commission and United Nations. ; We work collaboratively across the entire value chain to support disabled people in all our work. All of our technology services adhere to the pervading accessibility standards which supports disadvantaged or minority groups to move to higher paid work as part of the delivery of our technology services to clients.; ; We have extended provision of these inclusive technology services to deliver services which address digital poverty for communities across the UK during the pandemic. We have evidenced the gaps, as services moved online during the pandemic. We have addressed the needs of many communities, and specifically those of young people, who were disadvantaged without access to technology or the new online skills.; ; From the launch of our company we have been committed to building technology services which combat slavery and human trafficking. ; ; We have a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery across all areas of our company, as well as our supply chains. We are committed to ensuring we are not connected to modern slavery in any way. Beyond this we have created deep technology services which are used to combat modern slavery and human trafficking.
