  Fighting climate change

  Origin8tive have committed up to £30,000 in staff costs for volunteering within our community, further improving community cohesion and supporting stewardship of the environment. We plan to push the volunteering initiative towards focusing on organisations supporting environmental protection and improvements in social value. As part of our ongoing efforts to be carbon-positive, we strive to deliver cutting edge solutions to all our clients whilst supporting the sustainability of our global environment. For every contract we win and each new member of the team we recruit, Origin8tive will plant hundreds of trees through Ecologi. Origin8tive offers both an electric car scheme and cycle to work scheme for its employees to promote the reduction of impact on our environment through carbon emissions by around a quarter through work related travel and commuting. Origin8tive are committed to reporting on the impact of social value throughout the lifetime of the Framework Agreement and we will report this to customers at a minimum of every 12 months from the Framework Agreement start date.

  Tackling economic inequality

  As a growing organisation, our social value priorities are based on elements which increase our capability and team size. The core belief behind this is the investment in future learners and workers. Origin8tive have established an apprenticeship scheme to create new jobs and new skills and increase our business resilience and capacity. Origin8tive have committed 3% of our revenue to this, and for future financial years, to re-invest through the recruitment of apprentices. This increases community cohesion by supporting our local colleges with Science Technology Engineering and Maths (STEM) and outreach activities. Having signed the Armed Forces Covenant, British Armed Forces Veterans now make up 11% of Origin8tive’s diverse workforce. This number is growing through work with the Career Transition Partnership, further improving our community cohesion and proving new skills and re-training and new jobs within our sector. Origin8tive are an accredited member of the Living Wage Foundation. The real Living Wage is the only UK wage rate based on the cost of living. We pay this voluntarily alongside over 14,000 UK businesses as we believe our staff deserve a wage which meets everyday needs - like the weekly shop, or a surprise trip to the dentist. Origin8tive are an accredited member of the Good Business Charter and commit this behaviour through all our contracts and engagements. This collectively covers care for our employees, suppliers, customers, and the environment whilst paying our fair share of tax. Origin8tive are committed to reporting on the impact of social value throughout the lifetime of the Framework Agreement and we will report this to customers at a minimum of every 12 months from the Framework Agreement start date.

  Equal opportunity

  To redress the balance on workforce equality, one of our priorities in STEM and outreach is supporting women in technology. Origin8tive resources have supported outreach events to encourage around 250 school-aged females to become interested in STEM subjects. Origin8tive attracts talent from diverse groups by offering equal and transparent pay structures, flexible working, and part time roles. Origin8tive are committed to reporting on the impact of social value throughout the lifetime of the Framework Agreement and we will report this to customers at a minimum of every 12 months from the Framework Agreement start date.

  Wellbeing

  Staff retention is key to our ability to grow and develop our workforce. Origin8tive has invested in several areas to improve the health and wellbeing of our staff. We invest £50,000 per annum in providing a weekly wellbeing hour which enables our team to improve their wellbeing and reconnect staff to our environment. Many of our resources choose outdoor exercise or reflection to reconnect to the environment. We offer a cycle to work scheme to promote the reduction and impact on our environment and improve the health and wellbeing of our staff. Origin8tive recruits and trains mental health first aiders, funds our employee assistance scheme and supports staff through longer full-term sickness payments to increase our commitments to customers through a more resilient resource supply chain. All our resources receive corporately funded healthcare and support, ensuring a healthy and capable workforce. Origin8tive are committed to reporting on the impact of social value throughout the lifetime of the Framework Agreement and we will report this to customers at a minimum of every 12 months from the Framework Agreement start date.
