  Fighting climate change

  In S&A we specialise in driving positive change and can assist organisations in reducing their impact on climate change. We partner with clients to develop sustainable business strategies, reduce carbon emissions and manage climate-related risks.; ; Through innovation and new technology adoption, we help our clients to transition to low-waste solutions while fostering growth and resilience such as data centre consolidations, reduction in hardware technology footprints through increased service efficiency and remote working solutions to reduce required travel across the organisations.; ; By using our knowledge and resources we look to enable businesses to embrace sustainable practices, reduce their environmental impact and create value for both their stakeholders and society as a whole.

  Covid-19 recovery

  Sustainable travel solutions are always considered, and so remote working is highly encouraged within the organisation, to best suit the needs of clients and consultants. Those clients that have consultants working on the ground on-site, adhere to all strict COVID-19 policies both internally and externally. These are managed and checked frequently to ensure all COVID-19 policies are being followed and kept up to date.

  Wellbeing

  Staff wellbeing is paramount, and we ensure that we actively encourage health and wellbeing discussions among staff members and promote an open wellbeing culture environment, of which staff can voice concerns or recommendations on current wellbeing services or generalised topics within the organisation. Weekly meetings with all consultants are held, as well as regular project staged reviews monthly, to track staff members wellbeing and to provide an open dialogue on a 1-to-1 basis for each consultant.
