Corporate responsibility
Addressing our impact to help make better decisions
When we say corporate responsibility, we mean taking responsibility for our impact on the planet and people, managing our risks, and creating value for our stakeholders. We recognise the complexity and importance of being a truly responsible business, and so we lean on our values to guide us through our challenges and to help us make better decisions.
Our values, and the actions we take every day, big and small, underpin our role as a trusted and ethical partner to our customers, a fair and responsible employer to our people, a champion of change for our planet, and a contributing and accountable pillar in our communities.

Our journey as a responsible business
We’ve embraced our journey as a responsible business with the same curiosity, courage, and eagerness to learn as we apply to everything at Eficode. As we understand our impacts, risks, and opportunities more, we develop and innovate quickly to move the needle toward positive change.
Our commitment to a sustainable and inclusive world drives everything we do across our global operations. This commitment is reflected in the development of the solutions we deliver to our clients, our internal activities, and our wider value chain.
We aim to provide useful, transparent information about how we meet our responsibilities to our stakeholders, whether you are thinking of joining the Eficode team, an investor, a potential customer, or another interested party. To stay hot on our heels, we recommend keeping up to date with our blog for the latest news and developments.
Our policies
Our policies provide a roadmap for day-to-day operations. They ensure compliance with laws and regulations, guide decision-making, and streamline internal processes. Collectively, they provide the foundational support from which we launch action towards our commitments:
Development of the Supplier Code of Conduct
Our Supplier Code of Conduct has been developed as part of our broader strategy to promote ethical business practices and to foster responsible relationships with our supply chain. Our goal is to cultivate a supply chain of like-minded organizations that want to change how we do business for the better, creating people, planet, and profit equity. We believe collaboration and education are key to tackling our challenges. Therefore, we invite all stakeholders to engage with us to develop best practices, reduce risk, and find innovative solutions to our shared problems. As we progress on our journey, we will keep this Supplier Code of Conduct under review and our communication with suppliers open to build the future together.
Our double materiality assessment
We've conducted a double materiality assessment following the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). In this report, we describe how Eficode has identified actual and potential negative and positive impacts on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) topics concerning the environment and people, including impacts on human rights, as well as financial risks and opportunities arising from sustainability matters across our operations and business relationships.
Our responsibility to act against climate change
We’ve calculated our climate impact according to The Greenhouse Gas Protocol (generally referred to as GHG protocol) guidelines, one of the world's most used greenhouse gas accounting standards. GHG offers a framework for measuring and managing emissions from operations, value chains, products, and strategies. Our impact is reported against Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions.
Our commitment to science-based net-zero
We’re committed to setting near and long-term company-wide emission reduction targets in line with science-based net-zero with the SBTi (Science-Based Target initiative).
Our responsibility to people
Our culture is founded on the belief that our Eficodeans are our most precious asset. We want to provide a safe, inclusive, and professional work environment where everyone can develop and build their careers.
Outside of Eficode, our responsibility program is committed to developing business relationships that ensure people are treated with dignity and respect and always in accordance with applicable labour and other relevant laws.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion are inherently something we strive to foster within our walls and the wider community, and we’re focused on reducing inequalities, supporting access to digital education, and socially meaningful digital advancements.
Our responsibility to conduct business ethically and compliantly
We’re committed to promoting strong oversight, high standards of integrity, accountability, transparency, and risk management at all levels of our organisation, ensuring the resilience and long-term preservation of value for our business. As a leader in digital services, our responsibility extends to how we deploy digital strategies, protect data, and use the highest standards of security.
Sustainability reporting
Our historic sustainability reports provide an overview of our past and ongoing sustainability initiatives and achievements. We share these reports with our readers to celebrate our colleagues who make these impactful contributions.
Behind every initiative are the Eficodeans who invested in developing inclusiveness and equality, supporting digital education, and promoting greener business operations.
As we move forward, we align our reporting period to our financial year (July-June) and adopt a reporting style that better serves our stakeholders. We aim to report all information and progress updates in real time via this platform.
To ensure ongoing dialogue with our stakeholders, follow our blog for regular updates on our activities in these areas. We invite you to contact us if you have any questions at corporateresponsibility@eficode.com.
