Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG)
We believe that ESG
means doing business the right
way.
We aim to routinely use our products, services, expertise and profits to make life better for the community, fellow GIS practitioners, our team and the environment.
Exceptional ESG
Our ESG performance has been assessed by EcoVadis, a holistic sustainability ratings service. The EcoVadis Rating covers a broad range of non-financial management systems including Environmental, Labour & Human Rights and Ethics.
We have been an EcoVadis silver medal holder since 2022. This puts us in the top 15% of companies assessed.
