Fighting climate change
We take our impact on the environment extremely seriously. FarrPoint has operated an IS0 14001 accredited Environmental Management System since 2013; this ensures that our environmental impact is measured and minimised. FarrPoint has committed to achieve net zero emissions by 2045. We have developed a series of carbon reduction initiatives to achieve this goal and measure progress annually in our carbon reduction plan.Covid-19 recovery
FarrPoint supports communities and business with Covid-19 recovery. As a business operating in a high growth sector we offer a range of employment, internship, and training opportunities. In addition, we support the mental and physical wellbeing of our team using a range of initiatives, including free mental health support and health cover.Tackling economic inequality
As a business operating in a high growth sector we help tackle economic inequality by offering a range of employment, internship, and training opportunities - including to those who face barriers to employment. We have strong links with academia, where we sponsor undergraduate projects, provide undergraduates with paid internships and student placements. We also deliver guest lectures, bringing our industry experience to help develop undergraduate market awareness. FarrPoint reinforces our social values by ensuring they are shared by other organisations we work with. FarrPoint has BCorp accreditation and actively seeks to work with organisations that also hold this accreditation. We operate an ISO 9001 accredited Integrated Management System. This includes procedures for the selection and control of suppliers. Prior to using a new supplier, FarrPoint completes an assessment of their social and environmental policies. Suppliers will not be used unless they have appropriate arrangements in place. These are monitored by FarrPoint, with an annual assessment completed to ensure on-going compliance.Equal opportunity
FarrPoint has a documented equal opportunities policy that forms part of our ISO9001 accredited Integrated Management System. It is our policy to provide employment equality to all, irrespective of: • Gender, including gender reassignment; • Marital or civil partnership status; • Having or not having dependants; • Religious belief or political opinion; • Race (including colour, nationality, ethnic or national origins); • Disability; • Sexual orientation; • Age. We are opposed to all forms of unlawful and unfair discrimination. All job applicants, employees and others who work for us will be treated fairly and will not be discriminated against on any of the above grounds. Decisions about recruitment and selection, promotion, training or any other benefit will be made objectively and without unlawful discrimination. We recognise that the provision of equal opportunities in the workplace is not only good management practice, it also makes sound business sense. Our equal opportunities policy helps all those who work for us to develop their full potential and the talents and resources of the workforce will be utilised fully to maximise the efficiency of the organisation.Wellbeing
FarrPoint’s staff are key to the success of our business. We employ talented individuals and retain and develop them by ensuring that FarrPoint is an ethical employer that supports their wellbeing and personal development. We provide our staff with a range of benefits that offer a very flexible work/life balance and family friendly environment. This includes all staff being offered hybrid working arrangements, an unlimited annual leave policy, and access to confidential mental health support. FarrPoint operates with a flat structure and a very strong culture of open communication across the team. This includes multiple communication channels, monthly team meetings to share company performance and insights, 6-monthly team reviews to review staff and company performance, an effective line management structure and encouragement for open communication as part of everyday activities. We are an accredited Living Wage Employer and do not use zero-hours contracts.
