Platform Smart - Sustainability Strategy

Platform Smart’s mission is simple, to be recognised as one of the UK's most trusted, independent technology consulting partners who provides clients with services that make a real, positive difference to their business. ‘Doing the right thing’ is the backbone on which Platform Smart is built on, through this ethos we recognise that we have our part to play in limiting the impact we have on the planet.

As a business, we deliver our services through our Associate Programme which makes up over 95% of our supply chain. Whilst our in-house team and operation is small in comparison, we believe that to achieve our business mission it is fundamental to consider sustainability and set goals which ensure internally we are doing our best and externally we are influencing where possible to ensure our supply chain are doing their best.

Sustainability isn’t something that is new to Platform Smart, as a direct supplier into UK airports, transport and critical infrastructure amongst others, we have always been challenged on the Environmental and Social Impact we have on the planet, however, more recently we are seeing more and more of our clients implement sustainability goals and supplier requirements, with this in mind it’s apparent that it is no longer ethical for businesses to just ‘do nothing’. We understand that achieving these goals are more critical than ever as the need to reverse global warming is urgent, subsequently we want to make changes swiftly and positively, all of which lead to our goal of becoming ‘Carbon Neutral by the end of 2023’.

Platform Smart is proud to publish its first Sustainability Strategy, approach to offsetting and setting of a number of initiatives. This strategy will form a programme of works to be delivered over the next 3 years and beyond. Should you have any questions or want to find out more about our plans please get in touch, in the meantime we look forward to sharing updates as we progress through this journey.
