Building a Better Business for People, Planet and Purpose

Overview

At Applicable, sustainability is more than an initiative. It is part of how we make decisions, deliver services, support our communities and build long-term value for our customers, employees and partners.

We are committed to operating responsibly, reducing our environmental impact, supporting social progress and maintaining the highest standards of governance and ethical conduct. As a technology services provider, we recognise both the opportunities and responsibilities that come with helping organisations embrace digital transformation.

Our ambition is to create a business that delivers lasting positive impact for our people, our customers, our communities and the environment. This commitment underpins our ESG strategy and our journey towards recognised frameworks including B Corp and EcoVadis.

    People

    Our people are at the heart of our success. We are committed to creating an inclusive, supportive and rewarding workplace where everyone can thrive, develop and contribute to their full potential.

    We believe that great businesses are built by empowered people. That’s why we invest in professional development, wellbeing and employee support, while fostering a culture based on trust, respect, integrity and teamwork. We are committed to providing fair employment practices, promoting diversity and inclusion, and creating an environment where every individual feels valued and supported.

    Our approach is reflected in the benefits and opportunities we provide, including career development, training and certification support, volunteering days, flexible working practices and wellbeing initiatives. We continually seek feedback from our team to ensure Applicable remains a great place to build a career and grow professionally.

    Community

    We recognise that successful businesses have a responsibility to contribute positively to society. Through employee volunteering, charitable fundraising, local partnerships and community engagement, we aim to create lasting value beyond the services we deliver to our customers.

    Whether supporting local community organisations, maintaining facilities and outdoor spaces, attending ESG-focused events, or partnering with local suppliers, we are committed to strengthening the communities in which we live and work. Our people are encouraged to use their skills, time and energy to support causes that align with our values and create a positive impact.

    Governance

    Strong governance provides the foundation for sustainable growth.

    We operate transparently and ethically, with policies and controls designed to protect our customers, employees and stakeholders.
