A carbon neutral
MSP first

As a socially responsible corporate citizen,
TechBrain takes our environmental, social,
and governance commitment very seriously.

We’re proud to be one of Australia’s very first
carbon neutral MSPs.

A TRULY RESPONSIBLE MSP

Commitment to sustainability

At TechBrain, ESG isn’t just a corporate policy. It’s something we live every day. Our Environmental, Social, and Governance standards guide the impact we have on our staff, customers, community, and our planet.

It’s important to us that we do what we can to build a more sustainable future, for both our company, and the world. To achieve this, we’ve invested time in understanding the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, and how we can translate this into a TechBrain context.

To date, we’re proud to be making a difference with four key development goals.

Our Belief

We’re committed to being a
leader in the fight to stop
climate change

We’re very aware of the footprint that we’re leaving on this earth. But rather than worrying about what we can’t change, we’re looking at what we can.

We measure our own carbon emissions, right down to the transportation of our IT equipment. This allows us to considers way to reduce our emissions wherever we can, from simple measures like installing motion sensors and timers to limit our energy use, to ensuring we’re located near the majority of our customers, or taking public transport wherever possible.

We then offset the remainder by supporting third-party-validated reforestation and forestry preservation carbon offset projects. These important projects sequester CO2 emissions from the atmosphere into our trees and soil, while also benefiting those communities and their local wildlife populations.

People not employees

Helping customers go carbon free

You can partner us in reducing your carbon footprint, by joining the Carbon Free Product Certification Program.

This ensures that the carbon emissions associated with IT equipment you buy from us are offset.

Adaptable

Actions speak louder than words

You can take comfort that we’re putting our money where our mouths are. Each one of our Quality Carbon Reduction Projects:

· Meet strict third-party certification standards
· Undergo third-party validation and ongoing verification to ensure they continue to meet those standards.
· Undergo an annual audit to ensure transparency.

A commitment to
diversity in IT

TechBrain is committed to promoting gender equality, going to far as to commission a study which laid bare the gender bias within the IT Support industry. Based on these results, we provided our Human Resources partner a 16.4% increase in recruitment budget to assist in finding qualified female candidates. This figure was chosen to draw attention to the fact that the gender pay gap in Australia in 16.4%.

We encourage everyone to read our report on the effects of gendered language in tech job ads.
