We care deeply about our impact on the world, and we follow sound environmental practices to help us lower our environmental footprint everywhere we operate.
As a company, our immediate focus is to work on achieving net zero emissions from our organisation and value chain, accelerating our journey to a net positive impact.
Simply, we aim to do more ‘good’ than ‘harm’ for the environment as we all have the power to help tackle climate change through our behaviour at work and at home.
As we continue looking for ways to reduce our environmental footprint, in February 2022 we signed the Science Based Targets commitment letter, grounding our strategy in climate science and joining Race to Zero – the UN-led global campaign to rally leadership and support from businesses in taking immediate action to reduce emissions.
We are focused on improving resource efficiency, reducing absolute GHG emissions, as well as investing in high quality projects and partnerships for carbon removal.
We began introducing the ISO 14001 International Standard for Environmental Management Systems (EMS) at all our locations in 2021. This framework will help us enhance our environmental performance, fulfil and exceed compliance obligations and achieve environmental objectives by managing environmental responsibilities in a systematic manner. In FY 22 over 52% of Endavans worked in locations covered by the company's EMS. Download ISO 14001 certificates for our legal entities: Romania, Moldova
Climate neutrality forms part of our IT partner criteria. In line with national and international agreements to reach climate neutrality, we expect that our partners commit to environmental impact schemes such as the Climate Neutral Data Centre Pact, using renewable energy to power data centres and recycling redundant equipment responsibly. We also integrate environmental considerations into planning for data centre needs. Currently we do not own any data centres; we primarily use public cloud infrastructure and, where we cannot use public cloud, we rent space in third party data centres. We have contracts with two data centres both listing 100% renewable energy for EMEA.
We have also begun the process of engaging with our partners, suppliers and local communities to identify emission reduction opportunities and pathways to preventing pollution and to embed circular economy in our operations, as well as the partnerships that will be required to support them.
In December 2021 we kicked off a campaign, planting a tree for each e-Thank-You card our colleagues send internally to each other.
We also celebrated our 10,000 Endavans milestone by planting 10,000 trees – one for each member of our team, as a thank you for being part of our story and helping us reimagine the way technology impacts the lives of millions.
Our tree planting project kicked off with our initial commitment to plant 30,000 trees and we plan to keep growing the Endava Thank You Forest.
We are delighted that our project has been recently awarded ‘CSR Program of the Year’ at the 2022 ANIS Romania gala.
We focus on helping our teams incorporate more responsible habits. We have established a Green Champions Community to nurture and lead environmental projects and initiatives, acting as ambassadors and encouraging Endavans to become more environmentally aware and engaged.
We are increasing environmental literacy internally through relevant masterclasses, workshops, eco challenges, impact groups and digital resources that enable Endavans around the world to go greener. For example, we encourage our people to take a thoughtful approach to travel as, by making smart choices, we can go greener and help reduce the CO2 emissions generated by travel.
As a technology company, we are able to drive sustainability through digital acceleration and we are proud to help our clients build green solutions that enable them to run their IT operations in a way that ensures maximum energy efficiency and has minimal impact on the environment. To that end, we set up a Green Software Community working towards developing, applying and incorporating green software principles in how we deliver service to our clients.
MeCycle is an innovative startup reinventing the way plastic and aluminium is recycled. The company pays customers to recycle based on unique codes on containers and specialised bins. We helped to build the recycling system app for the company’s pilot that is currently running in New York and online.
Transforming how the electricity industry interacts with usage data
One of our clients, a company operating a platform that underpins the UK energy market, worked with Endava to deliver a new digital product that aims to support the United Kingdom’s 2050 net zero target. We delivered a minimum viable product, providing a graphical presentation of generation and electricity network data, to enable electricity distribution organisations and their customers to best plan for power provision using green and renewable sources. Our client described the final product as transformative for how the electricity industry will view and use data.
STEM is a global leader in AI-driven energy storage systems. Its solutions accelerate renewable energy growth, help alleviate power grid intermittency issues and support corporate ESG goals.
Our data scientists and data engineers worked with STEM’s software team to build solutions that reduce energy costs by automatically switching between battery power and grid power according to peak and off-peak periods.
