A TRULY RESPONSIBLE MSP

Commitment to sustainability

At TechBrain, ESG isn’t just a corporate policy. It’s something we live every day. Our Environmental, Social, and Governance standards guide the impact we have on our staff, customers, community, and our planet.

It’s important to us that we do what we can to build a more sustainable future, for both our company, and the world. To achieve this, we’ve invested time in understanding the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, and how we can translate this into a TechBrain context.

To date, we’re proud to be making a difference with four key development goals.

Our Belief

We’re committed to being a
leader in the fight to stop
climate change

We’re very aware of the footprint that we’re leaving on this earth. But rather than worrying about what we can’t change, we’re looking at what we can.

We measure our own carbon emissions, right down to the transportation of our IT equipment. This allows us to consider way to reduce our emissions wherever we can, from simple measures like installing motion sensors and timers to limit our energy use, to ensuring we’re located near the majority of our customers, or taking public transport wherever possible.

We take practical steps such as donating blood, being on the organ donor lists and vaccinating our families to support goal 3, standing up against harassment and support a charity taking action against domestic violence to support goal 5, investing in resilient infrastructure to support goal 9 and being conscious of packaging, choosing reusable products, buying from companies that have sustainable practices to support goal 12.

CLOSER TO HOME

A commitment to
diversity in IT

TechBrain is committed to promoting gender equality, going to far as to commission a study which laid bare the gender bias within the IT Support industry. Based on these results, we provided our Human Resources partner a 16.4% increase in recruitment budget to assist in finding qualified female candidates. This figure was chosen to draw attention to the fact that the gender pay gap in Australia in 16.4%.

We encourage everyone to read our report on the effects of gendered language in tech job ads.

Creating a company we love

We want to be as proud of the people we develop as we are of the businesses we help develop. To achieve this, we work hard on helping our team achieve mastery in their own fields, while creating a culture of inclusivity.

Building and supporting diversity

We support the individual circumstances of our team by providing flexible work arrangements that meet their needs. This actively works towards improving our diversity and strengthening our organisation.

Doing good for the community

We work towards UN Sustainable Development Goal 3 through our commitment to local organisation On My Feet, an organisation that combines education, exercise, and employment to solve homelessness at a local level.

OUR BELIEF
