Our values and mission
Rooted in the UK, embracing a global vision
At Spyrosoft UK, our values are more than just words; they are woven into our actions within the UK Spyrosoft community. We embrace diversity and inclusion, ensuring that every individual feels valued and supported, regardless of their background. Our workplace is a welcoming space that encourages people from all walks of life to contribute their unique perspectives and experiences.
We recognise the importance of LGBTQ+ rights and strive to create an inclusive environment for everyone. This commitment to inclusivity extends beyond just sexual orientation; we celebrate the richness that diversity brings and actively foster an environment where everyone can thrive.
In addition to our focus on diversity, we prioritise sustainability in our practices, recognising the importance of making a positive impact on both society and the environment. Together, we’ve created a culture of support for everyone, championing equality and respect in all our endeavours, which reinforces our belief that a diverse community enhances innovation and collaboration.
What are our values?
Community
We’re committed to supporting local communities, from grassroots projects to national initiatives. We also support and uplift our internal community.
Integrity
We conduct our business with honesty and transparency in all our practices.
Inclusivity
We strive to create a diverse and inclusive environment for our employees, partners, and customers.
Innovation
We apply our ingenuity to solve social and environmental challenges.
Giving back: our lasting impact
Stay updated with our latest charitable initiatives, volunteering days, and fundraising campaigns. Here you’ll find regular updates that highlight our commitment to community support.
Donating hardware to reduce digital exclusion
When our electronic devices, such as laptops and mobile phones, are no longer needed, we donate them to charities like Donate IT and The Turing Trust. They then refurbish and distribute them to people in need.
Food bank collection
Every December, we coordinate a food bank collection for food poverty charities such as Fair Share. This year, 2025, we plan to launch a new ‘all-year-round’ donation initiative, encouraging employees to make regular donations to increase our impact.
Support for local sports clubs
We support grassroots sports clubs and enjoy donating to help the success of local teams as much as we enjoy watching them play! Spyrosoft recently donated a video camera to a girls’ netball team to help them improve their game and training techniques.
Litter picking
Some of our team members regularly head out to their local area to pick up litter during their lunch breaks or at weekends. They’ve found that spending time together outside, working for a common cause, has been very enjoyable.
Pro bono hours
When the opportunity arises, we donate our time to small non-profit organisations. For example, our UX and Design team donated their time to Forest Holme, a palliative care charity.

Annual charity donation
Every Christmas, we ask our teams to submit the name of their favourite local charity. We then choose three charities from the submissions and donate a cash sum to each. This approach enables us to support more worthy causes and allows our teams to feel more connected to the donation.
The following is just some of the charities we have supported with cash donations, fundraising activities and gifts:
Act of Kindness
Hope for Homeless
Building a sustainable future
Our UK commitment to the environment
Our company is deeply committed to environmental stewardship and to reducing our carbon footprint. We recognise the responsibility we have towards our planet and continually strive to operate more sustainably. Through ongoing assessment, innovation, and collaboration, we are dedicated to minimising our environmental impact and contributing to a greener, healthier future.
To enhance our commitment, we’ve set an ambitious goal to reach net carbon zero emissions by 2030.
To make this vision a reality, we have partnered with a specialist environmental consultancy. Together, we’re working to achieve ISO 14001 accreditation and have developed a comprehensive Carbon Reduction Plan.
