Responsibly Red

We are a global team, working with a global customer base, and recognise our impact on the world around us, both in and out of work. We share a collective responsibility for this impact and continually strive to improve both our local and global environments and communities.

In many ways, this is about making good choices and doing the right thing. We like to think of this as being Responsibly Red.

To focus our Environmental, Social Responsibility and Governance (ESG) efforts, set related goals and seek continual improvement, we have identified three priority areas.

ESG focus #1

Environment

As an employee-owned professional services firm, we take direct responsibility for our operational footprint. While our primary impact is corporate rather than industrial, we are committed to continuous improvement across our global operations to support climate change reduction.

Our objective is to increase our EcoVadis sustainability rating within the computer programming and consultancy sector by embedding environmental accountability into our business and supply chain.

Our Environmental Principles

Embed environmental awareness and consideration in everything we do.
Continually improve and reduce our carbon footprint and environmental impact.
Select suppliers who can provide evidence of good environmental principles.

Our Waste Management Principles

Minimise general waste going to landfill and recycle everything possible.
Reuse, donate or recycle over 99% of our eWaste.
Select suppliers who can provide evidence of good waste management principles.

Our Sustainability Goals

Identify and measure the environmental impacts of our activities, set targets, monitor and communicate progress against those targets to stakeholders and employees.
Ensure that employees are aware & engaged in environmental issues relevant to their activities.
Continue to report our global carbon footprint annually.
Reach Carbon neutrality by reductions through offsets by 2025 and Net Zero by 2030.
Maintain 100% renewable energy usage for our UK office, with the target to move our US base to 100% renewable energy by 2024.

ESG focus #2

Social Responsibility

As an employee-owned organisation, our people and our communities are at the forefront of our actions. Through our employee committee, every member of our team has a stake and a voice in our direction. We operate with a commitment to openness, diversity, and long-term career development, supported by flexible and remote working to ensure a sustainable work-life balance.

Beyond our internal team, we engage locally through volunteering, sponsorship, and charitable donations, with our employee committee identifying the causes we support.

Our Social Responsibility Principles

Ensure the well-being of our employees, including the fostering of inclusivity, diversity and equality in our workforce.
Engage locally to make a positive impact on our communities through volunteering and charitable donations.
Zero tolerance for modern slavery in our operations or those of our suppliers and customers.

Living Wage (UK)

We are a Living Wage Employer. We believe paying a decent wage is fundamental to responsible business management, driving improved productivity and staff retention. Our lowest rate of pay in the UK reflects the current Living Wage rates.

ESG focus #3

Governance

We operate with transparency and a commitment to ethical business practices. Our governance framework is led by the Board and Executive Management Team, ensuring that every level of the organisation adheres to rigorous compliance and safety standards.

We maintain full alignment with local laws regarding financial reporting, tax, and record-keeping, while prioritising the security of our customers’ assets and data.

Compliance and Information Security

Information Security is a core operational priority. Our UK and Poland operations are ISO 27001 certified, providing independent verification of our data management and security controls.

Our established policies, including our Employee Code of Conduct, Health and Safety, Anti-Corruption, Whistleblowing, and Modern Slavery, are continuously monitored for effectiveness and relevance.

Our Governance Principles

Operate ethically and in compliance with national and international laws and regulations.
Zero tolerance for bribery and corruption with full adherence to established policies, including whistleblower anonymity.
Focus on information security with due care and attention to company and customer data.

Our role, in support of our customers, is about connecting people. It is what we do – all day every day. Through our social responsibility strategy, goals and actions we are continually seeking improvement in how we engage and operate in this more connected world while minimising our impact on the environment. Our people are passionate in support of these principles and I’m proud to see this commitment in all the work that we do.
