Corporate Responsibility

Escrivo is an active participant in the economy and the community and we take our Corporate and Social Responsibilities and obligations seriously.

In terms of our commitment to the Community,

• We work at reduced rates with a number of National and local charitable organisations
• In the Arts, we support the online activities of the award-winning Dunedin Consort, Scotland's premier vocal ensemble; and also the local arts activities of LAMP and SABOS.
• We contribute time and expertise to the activities of Scottish Business in the Community in North Edinburgh.

Our commitment to the Environment is based on our Sustainable Development Policy which ensures:

• that we specifiy low-power-consumption hardware and "green" computing equipment;
• that we keep power consumption and resource usage to a minimum by using server virtualisation and shared servers whenever possible in both our development and live environments, and that we switch off non-essential equipment when not in use;
• that where possible we conduct business electronically to minimise paper use;
• that we adopt the "reduce, reuse, recycle" philosophy with respect to all aspects of our capital and consumables purchasing and disposals.

We have committed to support the development of our Marketplace:

• Escrivo is a member of Scotland IS, the trade body for Scotland's ICT industry.
• We also support the activities of the Scottish Usability Professionals Association (SUPA), of which Cameron Leask, our Managing Director, is currently the Vice President.
