Socially Conscious
Giving back to the community and keeping sustainability as the heart of our business
At Enfuse we are constantly working to be more socially conscious. We aim to put sustainability at the heart of our company and actively support our community. Our socially conscious work is focused around three main areas: charity and volunteering, sustainability and mentorship.
CHARITY PARTNER
Giving back to our community is really important to us, so we developed an annual Charity programme that helps to promote fairness in our society. To make sure we are helping as many people as possible, every year we undertake a review of where our resources would be most useful.
We currently partner with children’s cancer charity Alice's Arc. Alice's Arc is dedicated to finding a cure and kinder, more targeted treatments for those affected by the childhood cancer, rhabdomyosarcoma.
Every year we donate Christmas gifts to under-privileged children via the Metropolitan Police's Christmas appeal.
VOLUNTEERING & MENTORING
We encourage everyone on our team to become mentors to people who want to begin or further their career in consulting. Our Directors regularly mentor students who are close to school or University leaving age as they embark on their careers and we are always looking for new ways to share our knowledge. We are in process of partnering with a organisation to provide mentoring to students around London.
Everyone at Enfuse receives one paid volunteer day every year to increase our impact on the community. We also sponsor and encourage team member fundraising events to expand our reach.
SUSTAINABILITY
At Enfuse we believe that we all have our part to play in sustainability, both in our professional and our personal lives. We do a variety of activities internally, such as maintaining a Climate Positive status with Ecologi Zero and having policies in place to encourage eco-friendly work behaviours.
We also aim to empower our team to consider the choices that they make outside of the workplace by conducting monthly emissions campaigns run by our internal Greenie team, and encouraging use of our partnership with the carbon footprint reduction tool, Giki Zero.

OUR SUSTAINABILITY ETHOS
-
We don't just talk the talk; we walk the walk at Enfuse. We are working to lower our business and personal carbon footprints and are an Ecologi Climate Positive workforce meaning we offset 115% of carbon emissions.
-
We focus on using clear and factual data to feed into sustainability initiatives that we run. We ensure to back these up with research and references where possible
-
Sustainability initiatives can appear to only be a tick box exercise. Part of the Socially Conscious pillar is to ensure that all initiatives align to the key guiding principles of the overall sustainability strategy.
-
For a company to be sustainable, the people need to be at the focus of all that we do. Embedding a sustainability focus to the culture is critical to this.
