Social Sustainability

Creating Equity

Provide technology and information that creates equity for those with disabilities, neuro-differences, and cognitive, physical or mental health challenges.
While we continue to learn and improve, we are committed to embedding accessibility into business operations (e.g. providing online events with subtitles and slides in advance, alt-text and appropriate colour contrasts added to all images).
Include more companies with a shared social aim at events to provide a wider range of speakers and products - providing actionable knowledge as well as demonstrations.
Commit to improving the accessibility of our products at each development sprint.
We are registered with the Government Disability Confident Scheme as being Disability Confident Committed. Certificate number DCS045273.

Reduce the carbon footprint of staff commuting to our offices by adopting hybrid working (3-days in the office).
Where possible procure refurbished IT equipment over new; reducing overall carbon footprint and landfill waste. Sell off or donate old equipment to reduce landfill waste
Phase out single use tableware to reduce waste.
Reduce energy usage within our offices e.g. electricity and heat (better insulation and turnoff when not in use.)
Recycle paper, cardboard, plastics, batteries, printer cartridges.
Carbon offsetting for staff travel to external events.

Reduce the carbon footprint of the company by carbon offsetting the travel of staff, attendees and exhibitors for TechEdology events globally.
Limited food and printed collateral waste by confirming attendance of delegates before each event.
Continue to provide online events.
Consider using venues offered by social enterprises/charities, not-for-profit and education settings.

Inspiration: commit to providing an offline app that requires minimal energy.

Aim for net zero for our cloud based IT infrastructure by the end of 2026.
While AI can be utilized alongside Inspiration to augment thinking skills and productivity, we will not integrate AI into the product itself, to minimize energy requirements.

For entry into new international markets, shift focus from carbon-intensive trade shows to data-driven digital outreach for initial market engagement.
