Our commitments and affiliations
More than just a translation agency, we are a purpose-led business. Our commitments and affiliations, including our status as an Employee Ownership Trust, our membership in the Good Business Charter, and our commitment to a Carbon Reduction Plan reflect our dedication to our people, our clients, and our planet.
Employee Ownership Trust
As of October 2022 we are a fully employee-owned business, with all commercial decisions being made with our staff’s best interests in mind. Not only does this incentivise employee innovation so that we can be the very best versions of ourselves, but it also provides a welcome annual fillip just before Christmas.
Good Business Charter
In February 2024 we received accreditation with the Good Business Charter, demonstrating our commitment to employee welfare, environmental awareness, fair payment of tax and ongoing adherence to the highest quality standards for our customers. While we obviously think these are standards that should be met regardless, we consider it important to provide a firm, public commitment to ethical business practices.
