COMMUNICATIONS
Our work has an impact on society and the environment. We limit this by:
Developing a diverse team in talent, skills, gender, race, age, sexual orientation, and ability
Working with purpose-led businesses, sustainability innovators, and not-for-profit organizations who are prepared to address the biggest issues facing humanity today
Supporting our communities: we hire locally whenever possible, provide work experience and placement opportunities to local young people, and source local services whenever available
Partnering with the not-for-profit sector to raise money for and awareness of charities
Assessing our suppliers to ensure their performance meets environmental and ethical credentials as well as costs, ability to meet deadlines, quality, and service
Working remotely to avoid unnecessary daily commutes and business travel
Prioritizing mental health and work-life balance
Limiting the use of printed materials, and printer use and recommending environmentally sound papers, inks, and printers for all our products and services
