Fighting climate change
As a small business, combating climate change is a crucial responsibility that we take seriously. We take several steps to make a positive impact:
Reduce Energy Consumption: We are reducing our energy consumption in the workplace. This includes switching to energy-efficient appliances and lighting, turning off equipment when not in use, and implementing smart heating and cooling systems to regulate energy usage.
Promote Sustainable Transport: We encourage employees to use public transport and promote sustainable transport options.
Minimise Waste: We are implementing waste reduction and recycling initiatives to help minimise our environmental impact. This involves reducing paper usage, recycling materials such as paper, plastic, and glass, and composting organic waste where possible.
Embrace Renewable Energy: We are investigating cloud services that are powered by renewable energy sources. This not only reduces our carbon emissions but also offers long-term cost savings.
Support Sustainable Suppliers: We aim to partner with suppliers who prioritise sustainability and ethical practices can help us reduce the carbon footprint of our supply chain.
Educate and Engage: We educate employees about the importance of sustainability and encouraging their active participation to foster a culture of environmental responsibility within our business.
This helps balance out our carbon footprint by supporting activities that remove or reduce carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
By implementing these measures and continually striving to reduce our environmental impact, we can play our part in combating climate change and contribute to building a more sustainable future for generations to come.Tackling economic inequality
As an SME, addressing economic inequality in the workforce is crucial. We aim to tackle this issue by implementing several strategies:
Fair Wages and Benefits: We ensure that all employees receive fair wages and benefits commensurate with their skills and experience helps reduce income disparities within our workforce.
Equal Opportunities: We provide equal opportunities for career advancement and professional development regardless of background or demographics promotes fairness and meritocracy.
Diverse Hiring Practices: We actively recruit from diverse talent pools and implement inclusive hiring practices. Several of our staff come from the “School Of Code” which is government funded boot camp. This helps to create a more representative and equitable workforce.
Flexible Working Arrangements: We offer flexible working arrangements such as remote work and flexible hours. This accommodates employees with different needs and circumstances, reducing barriers to employment.
Training and Upskilling: We invest in training and upskilling programmes for employees enables them to enhance their skills and qualifications. This has led to increased earning potential and career advancement opportunities.
Transparent Communication: By maintaining open and transparent communication channels with employees we foster trust and ensures that they are aware of their rights, benefits, and opportunities for advancement.
Community Engagement: We engage with our professional community and supporting initiatives that promote economic inclusion. This includes the GEEP mentoring programmes from RAEng which helps create a more inclusive and equitable workforce ecosystem.
By adopting these strategies, we contribute to reducing economic inequality within our workforce and fostering a more inclusive and fair working environment for all employees.Equal opportunity

NIAXO is successful and growing because of its leaderships, people and processes that support individuals and respect their needs. We have daily all hands calls, which may be led by a Director but not controlled by them, we actively encourage participation and we listen, encourage and support.
We have regular 30 min lunch and learns open to all staff where a person leads on a topic of their interest, which has included focus on certain technologies to living with diabetes. These sessions are intended to be light, non-contentious and non-challenging.
On longer projects we would seek to apply similar leadership, processes and activities with the client, by agreement.
NIAXO has also found, through experience, that there are both work related and well being related benefits to remote working through wide audience calls and catchups. These time bounded calls allow all attending staff as observers to gain a wider understanding of the project, delivery, progress, blockers and plans to staff informed, to contribute where appropriate and to identify those in the wider NIAXO or client and suppliers team they need to engage with. This provides all staff with a feeling of engagement and contribution, so good business as well as personal value.
