Anti Slavery Statement

Modern slavery is a crime and a violation of fundamental human rights. It takes various forms, such as slavery, servitude, forced and compulsory labour and human trafficking, all of which have in common the deprivation of a person's liberty by another in order to exploit them for personal or commercial gain.

IEG4 is committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business dealings and relationships and to implementing and enforcing effective systems and controls to ensure modern slavery is not taking place anywhere in our own
business or in any of our supply chains. We expect the same high standards from all of our contractors, suppliers and other business partners, and as part of our contracting processes, we include specific prohibitions against the use of forced, compulsory or trafficked labour, or anyone held in slavery or servitude, whether adults or children. 


Environmental Impact Statement

Minimising carbon emissions and protecting the health of our planet remains a primary focus and goal. As a business we have made an unequivocal commitment to achieve carbon neutrality from our business operations by 2050 at the latest.

As a key part of our Environment, Social and Governance (ESG)strategy, and with ongoing direction from an external resource to set short and long-term reduction goals and establish our Carbon Footprint further, we actively plan to reduce our Co2 emissions by a range of measures, including:

·        Supporting all our stakeholders in seeking and utilising low carbon solutions and finding environmentally sensitive ways to work through the elimination of paper, printing costs and the continued acceleration of digital transformation

·        Continuing to establish our commitment by utilising fully cloud-based development environments, and actively assisting our customers to do the same

·        Deploying all our solutions in Microsoft Azure to benefit from Microsoft’s own commitments to reduce their carbon footprint

·        Minimising our energy use through the use of LED lighting and maximising the use of renewables within our office and through our business activities

·        Increasing recycling and reducing waste through the removal of all single use plastics, recycling IT equipment, and actively promoting recycling of multiple items

·        Reducing and the monitoring of vehicle and rail travel through the use of collaboration tools, video conferencing facilities and encouraging flexible working arrangements and sharing of travel methods where appropriate

·        Providing electrical vehicle charging points at our office to encourage and support uptake of zero-emissions vehicles

We’re taking action towards a zero carbon future with the ambition to become a net zero business across our operations.
