Nothing matters more than our sustainable future. Advania is united by shared values and we are dedicated to helping create an advantage for everyone – inspiring positive change for our communities, world and future.
The IT sector has a responsibility to support sustainable development and to tackle some of the greatest challenges of our time. At Advania, we want to contribute to those goals as much as we can.
We have a responsibility to combat the damaging side-effects our industry has on the planet and society, and to transform our business model into a more circular and sustainable offering.
Today, we have a single-minded approach to sustainability and social value that reflects decades of commitment. We are a force for good and are leading by example to address our environmental responsibility, better our social impact, and adhere to ethical business practices.
In 2024, the Advania Group:
With CSRD alignment firmly embedded, we’re well positioned to continue scaling efforts across circularity, digital trust, responsible governance, and sustainable growth – staying true to our ambition of delivering lasting value for people, our planet, and performance.

Our commitment extends beyond our immediate business operations to meaningful community engagement and helping to address digital skills gaps:
We can’t achieve our goals without the passion and talent of the people who make us what we are. We support everyone with a hybrid work style that prioritises flexibility and collaboration.
Across our communities in the UK and South Africa, we support charities with donations and sponsorships, as well as offering our own time through volunteering.
Knowing that today’s students are tomorrow’s leaders, we invest in the future of the workforce, committing to government-led and Microsoft-partnered youth employment programmes.
Reducing our environmental footprint is a key Advania target, with a goal of becoming carbon net-zero by 2045. Our social value working group – with representatives from across the whole of Advania UK – monitors and measures the metrics of our activities to ensure our social value policy is effective.
We believe that the digital world offers both risks and opportunities for sustainability, and it is our aim to be proactive in using technology to protect the environment and promote sustainable development.
Not limited to just our internal operations, we assess our suppliers and partners every six months to ensure we are working with the most innovative companies.
We can all make choices about the technology we use to influence and impact the world around us. We also believe that technology can be a real force for good.
We’re proud signatories of the Microsoft Partner Pledge, a rallying point for businesses sharing Microsoft’s values to make more possible for people, industry and society as a whole.
We’re passionate about building a more inclusive world for all with IT, as well as reducing our IT footprint. With the constant evolution in technology, it’s never been easier to achieve this. All our people complete Microsoft’s accessibility training to understand how to achieve that inclusivity in the digital world.
We’re committed to empowering ambitious organisations to succeed. We believe that through the clever use of technology, we can build a better world for us all.
The size of our organisation allows us to deliver greater social value across more communities, implement sustainability initiatives at increased scale, share best practices and innovations across all operations, and maximise our resources for greater positive impact.
Our deep specialisms and strengthened expertise translates into more comprehensive sustainable practices and solutions for our customers. The assessment and mitigation of our environmental impact is advanced and our community engagement is broad. We take our responsibility seriously and do all we can to reflect this in our efforts towards sustainability and social value.
Advania is an equal pay employer, committed to the mission of closing the pay gap. We have been working hard to ensure that on a like-for-like basis, no pay disparity exists. Although the IT industry continues to struggle to achieve greater female representation, we are proud to work hard to change this narrative.
Our pay gap is materially affected by the difference in male and female representation in IT. However, we are extremely pleased to have seen positive movement in our female representation and are committed to ensuring this growth continues in the coming years.
Advania is committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2045. In order to continue our progress and meet this goal, we have adopted a number of Carbon Reduction Plan targets, supported by carbon offsetting for the necessary residual emissions that will remain by 2045.
