Social Value Commitment
We believe that digital delivery should benefit the communities we serve. As a specialist UK consultancy, we align our business practices with the UK Government Social Value Model (Procurement Policy Note PPN 06/20).
1. Fighting Climate Change
We optimize our software and system designs to run on minimal energy and hardware footprints:
- Carbon-Neutral Edge Hosting: We host all static files on Cloudflare Pages, utilizing edge servers running on 100% renewable energy.
- Serverless Cloud Efficiencies: We design backend architectures with serverless Azure Functions and GCP Cloud Run that scale down to zero when idle, avoiding wasted datacenter compute.
- Virtual-First Operations: We reduce travel-related carbon emissions by prioritizing virtual meetings, code reviews, and remote development setups.
2. Tackling Economic Inequality
We support local growth and skills development in the Midlands:
- SME Support: We share best practices and code templates with other local digital SMEs to help them bid for public sector work.
- Apprentice Mentoring: Over the last decade, we have mentored junior developers and apprentices during our contract roles, helping them secure mid-level software engineering positions.
3. Supporting Non-Profits & Charities
We actively support registered UK charities by dedicating consultancy hours at subsidized rates:
- Subsidized Rates: We offer a 30% discount on systems architecture and cloud engineering fees for non-profit organizations.
- Pro-Bono Audits: We offer free, 1-day technology discovery audits for small charities to help them configure cloud backups and secure donor data.
