Fighting climate change

Fighting climate change

We are committed to monitoring and reducing the impact our business activities have on the environment as follows:
• Reducing energy use relating to our business premises and business travel.
• Switch off all lights, monitors, printers, and any other electrical equipment when not in use
• Re-use and recycling of materials.
• Recycle all waste materials where possible (paper, printer cartridges, packaging)
• Respecting all existing, applicable environmental regulations and meeting all new regulations as soon as is reasonably practicable.
• Taking environmental factors into account when purchasing products and services.
• Complying with the ISO 14001:2004 standard for environmental management systems.

Bridgeall is committed to our responsibilities in doing our part to assist in tackling the global climate emergency. As a business we introduced a policy to support home working for all staff. On average our staff now spend no more than 2 days per week in our Glasgow office (previously 5 days per week) and are encouraged to work from home, which reduces our business travelling/commuting impact by 60% (pre-covid). We actively encourage public transport for all staff when visiting client sites to reduce our carbon footprints.
Tackling economic inequality

Tackling economic inequality

As an accredited Living Wage Employer, Bridgeall is proud to support the Living Wage movement. We believe that employers who pay a fair wage will not only attract and retain the best people but will also see improved staff morale and increased productivity.
Furthermore, we do not condone or support Exploitative Employment Practices (Zero Hours Contracts) in any way and our staff work Monday to Friday, between the hours of 8 and 6, 7.5 hours a day. Some staff at their own discretion work overtime and are compensated accordingly both financially and time off in lieu, when required to meet customer deadlines.
Equal opportunity

Equal opportunity

It is Bridgeall’s policy to treat all job applicants and employees fairly and equally, regardless of sex, pregnancy, trans-gender status, sexual orientation, religion or belief, marital status, civil partnership status, age or perceived age, race, colour, nationality, national or ethnic origins or disability.
Furthermore, we monitor the composition of the workforce to ensure that our equal opportunities and diversity policy is effective. All our employees are aware of the importance which the Company attaches to its Equal Opportunities Policy, and must ensure that they do not, by their own actions, behavior, or attitudes, directly or indirectly or unintentionally discriminate against any job applicants, employees, customers or clients.
Any act of discrimination will be treated as a disciplinary offence; these will include for example, discrimination in selecting, promoting, or training, refusing to work with or for a person because of any of the reasons stated in paragraph one of this policy and harassment of any employee, customer, or client. Through the application of this policy Bridgeall does all it can to promote good practice in this area to eliminate discrimination and harassment as far as is reasonably possible.
