Core CSR Values

Sustainability at its core AND a Corporate Social Responsibility strategy, NOT just one of the two (like you see in so many companies) and definitely NO Greenwashing. Meaning:

  1. Sustainability at its core
  • Our platform contributes to a circular and sustainable future by
    • Enabling OEM’s, distributors and resellers to implement a circular business model like XaaS and enabling them to do it with the right (sustainable) partners etc. etc.
    • Focusing on IT (enable work from home and sustainable IT consumption) and Micromobility (get the cars out the company by introducing bikes schemes)
  1. Corporate Social Responsibility strategy
  • As a company we have CSR implemented in our strategy by:
    • Employee wellbeing
    • Sustainable traveling: practice what we preach (no diesel car, but shared mobility and bike scheme’s)
    • Believe that making profit is the basis for sustainable profit sharing via sustainable initiatives like: corporate donations, employee matching Programs, product or service Donations, cause marketing campaigns, employee volunteer programs, social impact investing and community partnerships locally in Manchester for example.

Note: one of the founding team members wrote a master thesis on Corporate Social Responsibility, credited by the University of South Wales (meaning: sustainability is part of our culture).
