We believe that ARM, as a company that deals in human capital, should expedite its business in way that has a positive impact ethically and socially - whether by contributing to local or national charities, working with local education centres, or attempting to minimise our carbon footprint.

A brief synopsis of our CSR and environmental policy is below.

Environment

ARM is ISO14001:2004 accredited. We are committed to minimising the environmental impact of our business, not just directly but also through our supply chain.

In managing our operations, we will:

• Comply with relevant existing environmental legislation
• Task our environmental working group to reduce the consumption of resources and increase the efficiency of the use of these resources at our site
• Promote awareness amongst our staff of the environmental impact of travel and the importance, where possible, of car sharing or alternative means of travel
• In conjunction with Fasset our landlord, endeavour to recycle waste: in particular, paper, cardboard, metal, plastic and glass
• Ensure environmental criteria are taken into account in the procurement of goods and services as part of our commitment towards corporate responsibility in the supply chain
• Strive to continuously improve our environmental performance

To secure these objectives, we will:

• Annually review our performance (sponsor: the ARM Quality Manager)
• Work with Fasset and other LTP tenants to encourage common approaches when relevant to ARM or the tenant community
• Meet regularly to monitor the progress of current green initiatives, suggest new actions and share knowledge about new opportunities, legislation, and ideas (sponsor: The ARM Environmental working group).
• Promote awareness amongst our staff of environmental initiatives that ARM (and they as individuals) can become involved with
• Encourage appropriate consideration of environmental issues in the professional services we provide to our clients

Local Education

ARM is committed to acting as a resource for local education centres and as such should be prepared to provide advice, training, and guidance within its catchment area where possible and when resources and time permit. In addition to this we will endeavour to provide work experience opportunities for a small number of students per year, time and resources permitting.

Charities and fund raising

The social committee at ARM will ensure that the organisation is committed to raising funds for charity and will select, by organisational vote, four charities per annum (one per quarter) that will receive the proceeds of our various fundraising efforts.
