Standards

Accreditations and sustainability, held to the same standard as the work.

Credentials should mean something. Below is what SXR Limited is registered for, what we're working toward, and the commitments that shape how we operate — stated plainly, with nothing decorative.

01 — Accreditations & compliance

We publish what we hold, and we're honest about what's still in progress.

A registration means we are recorded and accountable to a body. A certification means we've been independently audited against a standard. "In progress" means the standard is on our roadmap and we're working toward it — not that we hold it yet.

Note

We only claim a certification once it has been independently awarded. Where a standard is shown as in progress, we're happy to share our current position on request rather than imply more than we hold.

02 — Sustainability

Technology has a footprint. We work to keep ours small — and shrinking.

These are commitments, not slogans. They shape how we run the company, choose suppliers, build software, and treat the people who do the work. Expand any one to see what it means in practice.

S-01 Low-footprint operations Remote-first, minimal physical infrastructure.

We run as a remote-first company with deliberately little physical infrastructure. The largest environmental cost of most software firms is offices, commuting, and always-on hardware — so we keep all three to a minimum by design rather than as an afterthought.

  • Remote-first working, with travel only where it genuinely adds value
  • Cloud infrastructure sized to demand, not left running idle
  • Equipment kept in service for its full useful life
S-02 Efficient, responsible software Building for performance, not waste.

Inefficient software wastes energy at scale — every unnecessary query, oversized server, and redundant process has a real-world cost. We treat efficiency as part of doing the job properly, not an optional extra.

  • Right-sizing infrastructure and switching off what isn't needed
  • Writing for performance so systems do more with less compute
  • Favouring providers with credible renewable-energy commitments
S-03 Hardware & e-waste Refurbished-first, responsibly retired.

Electronics are among the most resource-intensive things a company buys. We buy less, keep it longer, and make sure nothing ends up in landfill when its life with us is over.

  • Refurbished or repaired before new, wherever practical
  • Devices maintained and reused across their full lifespan
  • Responsible recycling or certified data-safe disposal at end of life
S-04 Responsible procurement Choosing suppliers on more than price.

Much of any company's footprint sits in its supply chain. When we choose partners and suppliers, environmental and labour standards count alongside cost and quality.

  • Preference for suppliers with credible environmental credentials
  • Fair, prompt payment to the smaller businesses we work with
  • Sourcing closer to home where it reduces impact
S-05 Fair, sustainable work Sustainability includes people.

A company isn't sustainable if the way it works burns people out. We treat fair pay, realistic workloads, and wellbeing as part of the same commitment — not a separate HR line item.

  • Fair pay and honest, realistic project timelines
  • Flexible working that fits around real lives
  • Investment in the skills of the people who do the work
S-06 Measure and improve Honest reporting over green gloss.

Commitments mean little without measurement. We'd rather show modest, honest progress than make claims we can't stand behind — and we improve on what we track each year.

  • Tracking the impacts we can genuinely measure
  • Reporting progress plainly, including where we fall short
  • Setting the next year's targets against the last
