- Our company values promote support for the environment in all aspects of our work. We evaluate contracts we accept to see if a successful outcome to the contract will have a beneficial effect on our environment.

- We operate as a Carbon Neutral plus organisation, and publish our footprint details as part of our sustainability statement here: https://www.epimorphics.com/sustainability-summary-statement

Wellbeing

- We have always provided a flexible working environment, allowing our employees to work from home or in co-working environments as well as from our offices. When Covid meant that working from home full-time was necessary we invested in ensuring that all our employees had a suitable working environment, and continue to monitor this.

- We look to maximise our social impact in working with others, this includes the projects we do but also the suppliers that we use. For example, we consider local businesses and other SMEs as a priority in our procurement practices.

- We improve community integration by collaborating with digital service users in user experience design and testing.

- A portion of our profits from this and other contracts are used to support our local community, for example in donating to local schools to enable them to procure IT equipment.
