Corporate Social Responsibility

Transforming our CSR initiatives to create a more dynamic, more inclusive, and more environmentally friendly working environment

“As climate change progresses, we will witness both human tragedy and inspiring human resilience. It will challenge us. It will test us, and it will change all of us. But if we all contribute in some small way by making changes to our lives, work and lifestyles, collectively, we can reduce our carbon emissions by a huge amount and hopefully, contribute to the preservation of the stunning bio-diversity and the wildlife the earth has today for our future generations...”

Lee Wade CEO

Our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives are deeply ingrained into every facet of our working lives at Exponential-e. We cannot continue to drive innovation across our business and achieve our own goals if we are not able to operate as responsible global citizens.

Developing a greener approach to technology

Since 2015, we have been working tirelessly to reduce our carbon footprint and minimise our impact on the environment, as demonstrated by our Environment Management (ISO 14001:2015) and Energy Efficiency (ISO 50001:2015) accreditations, for which we are regularly audited. Our staff are highly engaged and passionate about operating in as environmentally friendly a manner as possible, and work with our own Green Team to identify and implement new opportunities for improvements across our daily working lives.

Making a difference in our communities

We partner with numerous charities, local authorities, and good causes to give back to our communities, and ensure we deliver our services and solutions in an ethical, socially responsible way that makes a difference in people’s lives. Many of our staff also devote time to voluntary efforts outside of the office, in which we support them in any way we can.

Protecting our staff’s wellbeing and enabling their growth

In addition to a range of staff benefits, we work with our employees at all levels to make sure our working environments are healthy and productive, and that everyone receives the support and resources they need to fulfil their potential, both in and out of work. Our Culture Club provides a safe, welcoming forum for staff to discuss any concerns they have about work, and we regularly celebrate events such as International Women in Engineering Week, while providing a range of programmes to nurture talent and promote a healthy work/life balance.

Our Five CSR Pillars

Our five CSR Pillars represent the different ethical obligations that are deeply embedded in our everyday business.

Environment

We believe that even the smallest action can make a difference to the planet, and so reducing impact on the environment is something we care deeply about. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle are principles that are baked into our company’s DNA.

Diversity and inclusion

We are committed to recognising talent regardless of background and eliminating discrimination at work. Fairness, diversity, and inclusion have been embedded in our business from the very beginning.

Health and wellbeing

With high levels of stress and uncertainty, it’s more important than ever to ensure our employees get the best support for their emotional and physical health, and so we offer a number of programmes and initiatives in this area.

Local community support

We strive to make a difference in our communities, with our Culture Club organising numerous charity events throughout the year, and our employees enjoying time off to focus on their own voluntary work.

Business practices

Exponential-e is dedicated to sustainable, ethical and responsible business practices. We look for the same high standards when choosing suppliers and partners, who must demonstrate a clear commitment to data protection and supporting human rights.
