Social Value

Fighting climate change

Fighting climate change

At HCL Technologies, we believe that we have got accountability to the future, as well as an imperative role to play in addressing global challenges, such as climate change and environmental sustainability.

HCL commits itself to confronting these challenges by assuming a leadership role in fostering a sustainable environment and responding appropriately to the risk posed by environmental degradation.

HCL will strive to achieve excellence in environmental management by:

Integrating environmental considerations into our all areas of operations, considering our environmental risks, responsibilities and organisational capability

Meeting all environmental compliance obligations applicable to the organisation

Reducing our ecological footprint through optimised utilisation of natural resources, including land, water and by ensuring the responsible use of energy throughout our operations, including conserving energy, improving energy efficiency and giving preference to renewable over non-renewable energy wherever feasible

Introducing more sustainable and green procurement approaches

Preventing pollution and minimising all types of waste, including e-Waste by adopting a Reduce-Reuse-Recycle-Recovery philosophy

Being an environmentally responsible neighbour in the community where we operate, and correct incidents or conditions that endanger the environment

By committing ourselves to open and constructive engagement with communities surrounding our operations on environmental matters

Providing a framework for setting and reviewing environmental objectives and targets

Continually improving and learning from our efforts in working towards environmental sustainability

Monitoring and reporting our environmental performance to key stakeholders

Ensuring that environmental policy is communicated to all the concerned persons working for or on behalf of the organisation, to make them aware of their environmental responsibilities

By making our environmental policy available to all stakeholders, including public on demand

Maintaining appropriate controls, including periodic review of environmental policy, to ensure its applicability and relevance to the changing scenarios and stakeholder’s expectations.
Covid-19 recovery

Covid-19 recovery

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and its ruinous effect on lives and livelihoods has been unprecedented in modern times. HCL has used its position as a global IT company to mitigate the effects where possible, supporting our clients to continue operating in these difficult times and providing help to those affected. We have developed rapid solutions to support our customers in returning to work during the pandemic with examples ranging for PPE stock management, workforce social-distancing solutions and the deployment of remote working technology.

Our HCL Foundation is a focal point for global programmes and has coordinated our support for COVID-19 affected communities.

As a result of the pandemic there have been many industries that have been heavily impacted economically and many job losses have been caused as government support is reduced, companies going into administration and many freelance/self-employed prospects have simply disappeared.

Some of the people displaced by the pandemic will have transferable skills and just need limited support in cross-training.

We offer a number of opportunities to help semi-skilled staff enter the IT services world. Schemes such as our ‘Consultant in Training’ programme where staff are taken on and have a mix of formal training and on the job mentoring to give them the skills to continue on this path. The formal training can result in recognised qualifications such as technology or project management certifications. Many alumni of this programme are taken on by HCL as the first rung on their new career ladder.

With regard to the less skilled people left stranded by the Coronavirus outbreak we provide targeted help in a similar way to how we support disadvantaged individuals.

We will work with our customers to understand the impact of COVID-19 and develop CSR plans to support these at a local level.
Tackling economic inequality

Tackling economic inequality

HCL is committed to Corporate and Social Responsibility (CSR) to help equality/diversity, the economy, health/wellbeing and local communities. For local economies/ communities, HCL creates and maintains positive industry partnerships, engaged employees (including a focus on staff behaviours) and a diverse workforce, working collaboratively to make work a great experience for all.

In the UK, HCL works in partnership with the Prince’s Trust to maximise our CSR activities relating to how technology can make a positive difference to the lives of people and organisations worldwide. We have developed an education programme called “Get Started with Technology” to upskill disadvantaged youth across the country.

In the UK, HCL runs a CIT (Consultant in Training) programme every year, whereby we hire fresh graduates with no prior corporate experience in the UK and train them on relevant technologies and then employ and groom them to be Consultants. This has been run in conjunction with Manchester Business School and we are looking to expand this programme to include the other Higher Education establishments.

We are mindful of our role to play in of supporting local businesses and generating additional economic development through our engagements. As such, we consider using local suppliers to meet requirements that we cannot fulfil ourselves. As an example, a significant proportion of the initial User Experience and Design work for new Manchester United app was undertaken by Manchester based Small/Medium sized Enterprises (SMEs).

HCL runs innovation labs, collaborating through global Hackathons or developing patents for new and emerging technologies. We share this knowledge via events and Webinars, as well as providing access to thought leadership in the guise of our Chief Information Officer (CIO) Council. Recent events have covered such diverse topics as Blockchain, Robotic Process Automation (RPA), Cognitive Systems and Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT).
Equal opportunity

Equal opportunity

HCL focusses on creating/sustaining a nurturing environment for all employees, irrespective of backgrounds, gender, nationality, culture, ethnicity, age or differing abilities of individuals.

Gender parity and inclusion at all levels of the hierarchy is our top priority, with a special focus given to increasing the representation of women leaders at key leadership positions. The female employee ratio is a crucial metric that is reported and reviewed quarterly in the company board meetings. All our recruitment teams carry a target on gender hiring and all our job specifications have been reviewed to make them gender neutral.

HCL is committed to Corporate and Social Responsibility (CSR) to help equality & diversity, the economy, health & wellbeing and local communities. We have initiatives running to support, nurture, develop and celebrate the successes of disadvantaged communities or individuals. We endeavour to make a positive impact in the lives of people within the communities we operate in.

For local economies/communities, HCL creates and maintains positive industry partnerships, engaged employees (including a focus on staff behaviours) and a diverse workforce, working collaboratively to make work a great experience for all.

The company implements and maintains a management system that sets targets to monitor and continually improve our social performance across the company. Also, we comply with all relevant legislative and regulatory requirements relating to be a responsible business, including but not limited to the Modern Slavery Act, the Equality Act, the Public Services Act and the Living Wage Act.

To propagate an inclusive culture at HCL, a virtual Inclusion Lab model has been designed in consultation with business and HR stakeholders. The objective was to design a systemic, top down approach where each leader was sensitised and given the necessary skillset, mindset and toolset to actively demonstrate and promote inclusive behaviours.
