ESG Policy

Equly’s ESG Policy lays out clear, measurable commitments across three pillars—Planet (low-carbon digital operations), People (financial inclusion & diversity) and Principle (robust, transparent governance). The policy aligns with the UK Government’s Greening Finance: A Roadmap to Sustainable Investing and the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Environmental (Planet)

 

  • Host our platform in ISO 14001 data centres using 100 % renewable energy, targeting < 20 g CO₂e per active user each year.

  • Operate as a remote-first company to curb travel emissions; aim for 90 % of meetings to remain virtual.

  • Use e-signatures and digital collateral only, eliminating printed contracts and marketing materials.

  • Publish an externally reviewed greenhouse-gas inventory annually and commit to carbon-neutral operations by 2032 and full net-zero (Scopes 1-3) by 2035.

 

Social (People)

 

  • Lower the cost and time barriers to asset ownership by offering fractional-ownership tools that cut legal and admin costs and reduce completion times by 50 %.

  • Design inclusive algorithms, run an annual diversity and pay-gap audit, and publish the results.

  • Partner with Fair-Pay-accredited suppliers and support two community digital-skills initiatives by 2027.

  • Report yearly on financial-inclusion impact (e.g. average £ saved per user).

 

Governance (Principle)

 

  • The board reviews ESG KPIs every quarter and assigns an executive-level ESG owner.

  • Issue an annual ESG report aligned to SASB (Software & IT Services) and TCFD starting with FY 2026.

  • Conduct an independent audit of AI models every 12 months to check for bias and explainability.

  • Require every vendor to sign our Supplier Code of Conduct, ensuring environmental and labour standards match our own.
