  Fighting climate change

  Agilisys’ Environmental Management System is ISO140001:2015 certified, we understand the critical importance of addressing climate change and have committed to reducing our own carbon footprint while helping our customers to reduce theirs. Through our current initiatives, we have already reduced our GHG emissions by ~13% from our initial baseline, set in FY2021/22. In tackling climate change, we have both client facing and internal objectives to lessen Agilisys’ impact on the environment. Our client focussed objectives include - Providing timely Emissions information; Ensuring that all clients are informed of their GHG emissions on a regular basis as part of standard service reporting; Provide advice and guidance on reducing emissions; Provide information of optimising and efficient utilisation of services to reduce GHG emissions. Our internal objectives have been set to address the mix of emissions that we have across all three scopes and are summarised as - Improving awareness - Ensuring that all employees are informed about Agilisys' net-zero targets, environmental policies, principles, and procedures; Reducing business mileage - business mileage should be within 10% of the 71,611 miles travelled in 2022-23 now that COVID restrictions have been fully lifted; Improved Baselining - We're improving our data collection to create a thorough baseline for tracking all emissions, including non-mandatory aspects. Agilisys is committed to sustainability, through baselining, targeted emission reduction initiatives, and transparent reporting practices and we are continually improving our Environmental Management System. This benefits our clients through - Demonstrable Environmental Impact - our approach ensures a demonstrable reduction in environmental impact through rigorous baseline measurement and optimisation initiatives; A responsible track record - Our EMS is ISO14001:2015 certified and has already delivered a ~13% reduction in tCO2e and our reporting and management are being continually improved; Transparent Reporting - We publish environmental reporting annually, measuring ourselves against our environmental commitments.

The following examples evidence the scale of our commitments and proven approach and ability to deliver exceptional outcomes with our customers: North Lanarkshire Council – Agilisys has designed and developed a series of online modules, in playbook format, to be used by senior phase pupils and modern apprentices. The modules are designed to increase young people’s awareness, motivation, resilience and persistence and include activities and practical exercises to assist them in writing a personal statement or CV, preparing for interview and ultimately tips to help them adjust to the workplace. Helping Hands – In response to the pandemic, Agilisys designed and built a contact management solution that is designed to track both outreach contacts with vulnerable people and identify their specific needs. This solution was deployed on an ’at cost’ basis to thirteen authorities in 2020. Agilisys understands the profound consequences that COVID-19 has had on communities across the UK and has a deep understanding of how to make a positive impact to help stimulate recovery across key areas.
