At Agilisys, we believe it is simply good business to be a responsible member of the community – by which we mean we consider the impact our actions have on all potential stakeholders as we conduct our business. We think of stakeholders in the broadest sense – from our staff, clients, suppliers and shareholders, to the broader community and environment we live in.

We do not look on corporate responsibility as a box-ticking exercise, rather, we try to make it an inherent part of our business practice; corporate responsibility is not imposed from above at Agilisys, rather it informs and is part of the many day-to-day decisions made by every one of our employees.

Here are just a few examples of how this sense of responsibility touches every part of our business:

In the workplace
Agilisys offers highly flexible working arrangements for staff, which not only allows staff to balance work around their own personal priorities, but also leads to greater productivity.

The Agilisys University also forms an important part of our commitment to corporate responsibility, as it represents our commitment to helping Agilisys employees develop and grow within the company and map out their own respective career paths.
In the marketplace

Where possible, we work with local suppliers, encouraging small business growth along with our own. We aim to foster local community regeneration where possible, in particular through our long term partnerships with local authority clients including Rochdale, Oldham, Cumbria, and Hammersmith and Fulham.

In the environment
As a knowledge-based services company, we have a relatively small environmental impact. Even so, we regularly review our practices to reduce this impact where possible, and actively encourage staff to suggest changes that could be rolled out across the company. For example, one of the first staff suggestions implemented was to make the ‘default’ printer setting ‘double-sided’ printing, reducing our paper use by 40%. This is only one small step in our efforts towards attaining ISO 14001 accreditation, which has been earned by the Rochdale Impact Partnership, and we are working to gain across the entirety of our business.

In the community
Wherever we work, it is very important to us to be part of our clients’ communities – helping to engage with local citizens and foster opportunities through job creation activities, apprenticeships, volunteer programmes and entrepreneurial advice. In the years since our founding, we have created several hundred jobs increasing opportunities for citizens across the UK.

Furthermore, we are strong supporters of both local and national charities, including the Charity Technology Trust (CTT) and Operation Smile. Our involvement goes beyond financial support, as our staff -- including our founders -- contribute signficant amount of time to these and other charities throughout the year, as well as infrastructure, space, and technical support where needed.

At Agilisys we deliver success through innovation...working with our clients to
transform services that make a difference to millions of people across the UK.
