While building on our success, we’re giving back to local communities. We run a range of initiatives, from promoting technology careers in schools, to fundraising for our annual partner charity, to giving away #Tech4Christmas.
Read our CSR PolicyWe’re continually working to align our CSR strategy and activities with the United Nation’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at a local and national level. The SDGs are a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and improve lives and prospects for all by 2030.
Each year we choose a charity as the focus for our fundraising activities. Our current partner is the nationwide food bank charity the Trussell Trust. Past charities include the male cancer charity, Orchid, and Rainbows Hospice for Children and Young People.
Each week we’ve been joining the Thursday #clapforheroes. At the same time, we’ve made a donation to a different charity or sent treats to heroes in our local communities, who are going above and beyond during the pandemic.
As well as getting involved in nationwide fundraising, we get behind our colleagues’ personal fundraising challenges and sponsor local activities. We’ve supplied kit to local children’s sports teams and covered entry fees for staff entering the Derby 10k.
Our #Tech4Christmas campaign focuses on putting Node4 expertise to good use, making a real difference to charities’ day-to-day operations and the services they provide to beneficiaries, their families and communities.
Through our apprenticeship programme, work experience placements and partnerships with schools, we’re helping young people to launch their careers in technology.
We also support our workforce with a range of learning and development opportunities, including technical accreditation.
Our diversity and equal opportunities policies underpin how we work, whether we’re recruiting a new apprentice or providing a more established professional with a fresh challenge.

“I decided to do an apprenticeship to kick-start my knowledge of the working world. The best part so far has been the friendships I’ve made within my team; they all support me with my learning.”

We power hundreds of businesses through our data centres – from healthcare providers to transportation companies.
Hosting IT systems in an energy efficient data centre is a great way to reduce the carbon footprint of a business compared to hosting on-premises. Plus it helps companies enable other energy saving initiatives such as home working and video conferencing.
We employ experts who concentrate on managing our energy usage and maintaining the delicate balance between environmental efficiency, resilience and performance.
As an ISO 50001 accredited organisation, we focus on continually improving our energy management.
We’re working towards greener data centres by:

Exceptional Service as a Standard (ESaaS) is our culture and drives our conduct, whether we’re interacting with colleagues, customers or partners.

We’ve rolled out a training programme to the entire business, providing staff with the tools, techniques and language they need to consistently deliver ESaaS – so that we drive positive outcomes for businesses and their customers.
