Social, ethical and
environmental performance
In the UK and Ireland, our focus on
environmental performance led to a 5%
reduction in energy consumption largely
attributable to data centre savings. Waste
has also been a success story and this
year the business conducted waste audits
to evaluate its performance and encourage
employees to recycle. We were pleased
to report that we were ranked 26th out of
2,102 companies participating in the UK
Carbon Reduction Commitment Energy
Efficiency Scheme.
Employees volunteered over 11,000 hours
for 56 different projects and increased
funds raised to over US$0.6m. Major
education projects have been the focus
of local community activity, including
partnerships to improve teacher training,
to support young entrepreneurs and to
help disadvantaged young people find a
path into employment.
