Fighting climate change

All of our sites have been audited in line with the Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS) with the report expected from this exercise within the coming months. Any further opportunities highlighted shall be assessed and included within future energy savings plans where possible.
Across our UK operations and as set out in our Carbon Reduction Plan for 2022, Motorola Solutions UK Ltd has made significant progress against our net zero goal in the last two years. In 2021/22, we reduced our CO2e emissions (scope 1 and 2) by 87% from our 2020 baseline. This equates to a reduction of 842 tonnes CO2e and means that we achieved our 2025 goal 3 years ahead of schedule. Furthermore, we are committed to halving emissions in our value chain (scope 3) by 2030 and achieving net zero carbon emissions across our entire value chain (scope 1, 2, and 3) by 2050. On a corporate level, MSI is committed to reducing global emissions, Scopes 1 and 2 to 3.4 kT CO2e by 2031, which represents a 95% reduction when compared to the 2020 baseline.
Motorola has received the following recognition for our Environment, Health and Safety Operations:
● RoSPA Commended in the Information & Communication Industry Sector Award
● RoSPA Fleet Safety Gold Award
● Reduction of Real Estate

Covid-19 recovery

Since the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, we have prioritised flexibility in our employee’s work environments resulting in a continuation of work-from- home and hybrid work policies. Since our 2020 baseline, there has been an optimisation of office space, resulting in a 70% reduction in square footage of all Motorola Solutions UK facilities. In 2022, there was a 148 tCO2e reduction from electricity and natural gas consumption due to further space reductions. The carbon emission reduction from this initiative now totals 730 tCO2e, an 87% reduction against the 2020 baseline.

Tackling economic inequality

At Motorola Solutions our employees are a critical enabler of business value. Our human capital management programs are designed to recruit, retain, develop and optimise our workforce. Whether through increased outreach efforts, enhanced compensation and rewards programs, investment in professional development, or reinforcing an inclusive environment, our goal is to take care of our most important resources by anticipating employee needs and adapting to meet them.

As such Motorola Solutions is committed to the adoption of the Fair Work First Criteria for our UK employees. We are also committed to ensuring that these requirements flow down into our Supply Chain. All subcontractors are required to sign up to the Supplier Code of Conduct which ensures compliance with many best practice standards for employment as a flow down from the Responsible Business Alliance.

On demand, Motorola Solutions will report on our compliance with Fair Work First criteria, and demonstrate our progress in this regard.

We do not make use of zero hours contracts in any part of our business and our UK HR Team regularly monitors this. All employees have open ended or fixed term contracts. Similarly, all subcontractors are required to sign up to our Supplier Code of Conduct which ensures compliance with many best practice standards for employment as a flow down from the Responsible Business Alliance.

Equal opportunity

Our people are our most important asset, the promotion of diversity, equality and inclusion(DEI) is a top priority in relation to all operations across the MSI Corporation globally. We embrace unique perspectives and experiences – actively seeking diverse opinions and cultures to expand our talent pool, drive innovation and make a positive change.

Specifically the aims of our Diversity and Equal Opportunity policy are:
● To ensure that at all times Motorola complies with the relevant legislation in force including the Equality Act 2010 and the Equality Act 2010(Specific Duties) (Scotland) Regulations 2012.
● To ensure that all employees work in an environment which is free from discrimination and harassment.
● To ensure that no job applicant or employee receives less favourable treatment on the grounds of age, sex, gender reassignment, race, ethnic origin, disability, marital status, sexual orientation or religious belief.
● To ensure that everyone has the right to pursue development opportunities on the basis of individual merit, experience, ability and potential.
● To ensure that Motorola provides an environment appropriate to the needs of people with disabilities.
● To encourage Motorola employees to take an active role in combating all forms of harassment and discrimination.
● To demonstrate to all employees that they can rely upon the Company’s support in cases of harassment or discrimination at work.

As highlighted in our Gender Pay Gap Report Motorola is committed to fostering an inclusive culture and proactively addressing the Gender Pay Gap. Not dissimilar to other organisations within our sector, we continue to be faced with the challenge of underrepresentation of women working in STEM industries. We are committed to doing more to attract and retain women to our organisation and will continue to look at how we can better support our female employees’ progress into higher paid roles.

Wellbeing

Motorola Solutions recognises and understands the positive impact that healthy and engaged employees contribute to the success of the business. Mental Health is relevant for all employees, which means every member of staff can play a part in improving wellbeing in the workplace. By addressing mental health issues, the company can improve the general wellbeing of employees, reduce absenteeism, increase productivity, and help promote the employment of those who have experienced mental health problems.
Our UK & Ireland Wellbeing policy outlines how we create an open and honest workplace where managers and employees can discuss mental health problems, and to ensure the necessary support is known and offered to employees when they need it.
We understand the role it has in ensuring that health and Safety legislation is adhered to. The Company strives to create a safe workplace where risks to mental health and wellbeing are limited as far as possible. The Company recognises its legal responsibilities in promoting the health, safety and wellbeing of its employees in line with the following:
● The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974
● The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999
● Equality Act 2010
