A sustainable future
At Softcat we take sustainability seriously. It’s not just about talking about it or writing it in a report, but it’s about living and breathing it. That’s why we’ve now set goals that align Softcat to the most relevant areas of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Every day we are looking for more ways to do things better. And as part of our team, we’d love to hear your thoughts and ideas too.
We’re leading the TC4RE industry initiative to remove barriers and create opportunities in tech for everyone from a minority background. Discover what we’re doing and why it’s so important to us:

Environmental activity
We’re a business that believes in doing the right thing when it comes to actively protecting the environment. Our “green team”, managed by our CEO, is responsible for raising the green agenda across the company. We look at every aspect of what we do, from recycling tea bags in our compost ‘wormery’ to choosing the most efficient pool cars. Cisco recently named us their UK and Ireland ‘Responsibility Partner of the Year’ and we’ve even featured positively on a Channel 4 documentary covering the green credentials of UK businesses.
Love2volunteer
Our Love2Volunteer campaign focuses on promoting and encouraging our employees to demonstrate the difference we can all make together. We give everyone two free charitable days that they can choose to use at any of the many scheduled volunteering events we have throughout the year. Those events are focused on four key areas; Animals, Community, Environment and Homeless; where we will give something back to those that need our help and support.
Looking after our people
We’re very proud of the people and culture at Softcat – and we’re firmly focused on making sure employees are happy with working life. Our open-plan offices reflect our culture, leaders are visible and available, and communication flows easily. Achievements are regularly recognised, both informally and formally including seasonal parties, quarterly team socialising budgets, and our staff recognition ceremonies. We’ve consistently placed highly in the Great Place to Work awards, and our Glassdoor approval rating is exceptionally good.
