About us
Environmental, Social & Governance
Delivering world-class IT solutions must go hand-in-hand with protecting our environment, empowering our people and operating with integrity.
At Getech, we believe that ethical integrity is just as important as technical expertise. As an Employee Ownership Trust, doing the right thing for our people and the environment is built into the fabric of who we are.
Our purpose is to sustainably deliver exceptional standards of IT products and value-added services, but we know that how we do business matters, not just what we do.
From driving down our carbon emissions well ahead of schedule, to championing diversity in a male-dominated industry and enforcing strict ethical standards across our supply chains, we are committed to leaving a positive legacy for our customers, our communities and our planet.
Environmetal: A Sustainable Future
For several years now, we have been actively reducing our carbon footprint through aggressive energy efficiencies, the elimination of fossil fuels from our premises and a commitment to renewable energy.
Our progress:
- We have already reduced our overall carbon emissions by 85.1% compared to our 2019 baseline, far exceeding our 73% target for 2024.
- As of 2022, we have eliminated the use of gas fossil fuels entirely across our business operations.
- We are actively expanding our EV charging infrastructure, achieving ISO 14001:2015 certification for our Environmental Management System in 2025.
Social: Empowering Our People
A diverse workforce drives innovation, improves productivity and creates a better experience for our customers. Operating in a typically male-dominated industry, we take our responsibility to treat all employees fairly and equally very seriously.
Our progress:
- Our mean hourly gender pay gap is just 4.25%, beating the UK IT Sales sector average of 22.2%.
- We are fully committed to providing equal pay for equal work, regardless of gender, race or background.
- We continuously enhance agile working arrangements to support the mental health, work-life balance and career development of our team.
Governance: Ethical Supply Chains
The ICT hardware market presents specific risks regarding labour exploitation, which we tackle head-on by integrating rigorous due diligence into our ISO 9001-compliant Quality Management System.
Our progress:
- We only procure from a restricted range of approved, reputable suppliers. All partners must prove they adhere to the Modern Slavery Act 2015.
- We will immediately terminate contracts with any entity found to be involved in labour exploitation or human trafficking.
- We mandate annual training for our staff to ensure they can identify and safely report suspected modern slavery within the broader supply chain.
