Everything we do – from paying our taxes to offering carbon neutral solutions – can be traced back to our commitment to do the right thing
Social value has become somewhat of a buzzword. But to us, it’s the positive and measurable impact that we create by doing the right thing. Whether that’s through our communities, our partners, suppliers, staff, or the wider economy. And how do we benchmark our success against these criteria? Through a series of social pledges that range from commitments to the local economy right the way through to health and well-being initiatives.

Our headcount has, and always will have a significant proportion set aside for apprenticeship and undergraduate programmes. We’re proud to have given so many young people the chance to kick-start their career’s within the IT sector.
We always pay our fair share. Whether that’s through responsible tax practices or highly-competitive salaries. We’re proud our business has a part to play in the wider health of the UK economy.
All our customers enjoy a monthly carbon offset certificate as standard. And after being recognised by CCS as a strategic supplier of multi-cloud, we’re committed to becoming carbon negative.
We are the first technology firm in the UK to receive the Social Value Quality (SVQ) Mark award.
At the beginning of 2021, UKCloud was awarded a level one certification from SVQ. However, midway through the year, we had already demonstrated that we met the criteria needed to fulfil level two status. We achieved this feat having been audited by SVQ and successfully demonstrating our commitment to research, measure and report on our social impact. Read the full report below.
We’ve partnered with over 300 specialist organisations to help remove the internal pressure that has been heaped on public sector organisations to develop new, cloud-native services.
Why build when you can buy? Remember, by going SaaS – you’ll benefit from an ever-evolving feature set that enterprise IT teams rarely have time to deliver. Win-win.
UKCloud has always taken responsibility for managing, reducing and offsetting our environmental footprint, and we are proud to have been offering validated carbon offset activities to our customers at no additional charge since 2014.
We’re really proud to have taken the next step which has seen UKCloud becoming “carbon negative”, following our recent investment in CoForest, a new carbon offsetting forest near Bath.
Social Value Business has been working with UKCloud for six months to support them in a bid to measure what matters and demonstrate the value UKCloud brings to the local economy and other areas of social value interest. The results speak for themselves.
It is clear from the report that UKCloud – and its diversity of technology solutions – drive value, innovation, and resilience, whilst their commitment to do the right thing has a positive impact in areas such as environmental impact, health & wellbeing, and employment & volunteering.
