  Fighting climate change

  As a business we encourage our people to travel less and consider carbon offsetting where we can. We have an environmental policy which reflects our ways of working. We rarely use paper and respect the policies of our hosts to work from home wherever possible, to reduce fossil fuel consumption.

  Covid-19 recovery

  We are continually supporting COVID-19 recovery by ensuring our staff stay as safe as possible and can work in a COVID safe environment. We encourage people to work at home unless required to attend site for the purposes of furthering their work outcomes. Our people follow government advice on preventing the spread of the disease.

  Tackling economic inequality

  As a micro business our goal is to donate to a food bank at least four times a year. We also engage with nearby school/colleges by being available to influence and advise children on career choices they may not have considered. Being made aware of other careers and opportunities will enable children to seek more diverse career options.

  Equal opportunity

  We believe that children should be made aware of as many career options as possible to help them when making their life choices. We engage with nearby schools/colleges by being available to influence and advise children on career choices they may not have considered. Giving young people insight into the work we do and why we do it is a worthwhile enterprise, whatever they end up doing. We have a diverse workforce, and both Directors are female in a male dominated world of STEM.

  Wellbeing

  We support the mental health of our staff by ensuring that we lend a listening and supportive ear to any problems they may have. In our work (business change) we prioritise the people aspect of change and support businesses with strategies to ensure that people embrace change and are involved and informed along the way.
