Cortech’s Commitment to Ethical, Sustainable, and People-Focused Operations

Posted on by nicoledavies

At Cortech, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is embedded in everything we do, from the way we develop secure software for critical infrastructure to the way we support our people and the communities around us.  

Cortech CSR commitment

Our CSR strategy spans environmental responsibility, ethical governance, cybersecurity, employee wellbeing, and community engagement, reflecting our commitment to operating as a responsible and forward thinking business. 

Environmental Responsibility 

Cortech is proud to maintain carbon neutral certification, underlining our commitment to reducing our environmental impact. We actively monitor, offset, and seek to minimise emissions across our operations, supporting the UK’s net zero objectives and contributing to a greener future for the industries we serve. 

Ethical & Governance Practices 

Operating within high-security and critical infrastructure environments, Cortech adheres to the highest standards of ethical business and governance. Transparency, regulatory compliance, and responsible decision making are at the heart of how we operate, ensuring our clients and stakeholders can trust us to act with integrity. 

Cybersecurity and Data Protection 

As the developer of mission critical software solutions, cybersecurity and data protection are core to our CSR commitment. By designing solutions with Secure by Design principles, we help protect both our customers’ sensitive data and the national infrastructure sectors they support. This proactive approach ensures Cortech remains aligned with the highest security and compliance standards. 

Investing in People 

Our employees are the foundation of our success, and we place wellbeing, recognition, and career development at the heart of our CSR approach: 

  • Monthly ABC Awards celebrate team members who go Above and Beyond, fostering a culture of recognition and appreciation. 
  • Long Service Awards, presented annually for 10, 15, 20, and 25 years of dedication, highlight our commitment to employee loyalty and career sustainability. 
  • Leading Healthy Teams initiatives encourage leadership development, engagement, and continuous improvement across the organisation. 

By creating a workplace where people feel valued, recognised, and supported, we strengthen both our internal culture and the quality of service we deliver to our customers. 

Community and Diversity Initiatives 

Cortech is proud to contribute positively to society beyond our business operations: 

  • Local Community Support – Each year, Cortech participates in the St John’s Church Christmas Tree Festival in High Legh, Knutsford, strengthening our connection with the local community. 
  • Diversity and Inclusion – We actively encourage our female employees to engage in Women in Security events, supporting gender diversity and professional growth in a traditionally male dominated sector. 

These initiatives reflect our belief that responsibility starts locally and extends to driving positive change within our industry. 

CSR at Cortech: Our Five Pillars 

  1. Environmental Sustainability – Carbon neutral operations and a focus on reducing environmental impact. 
  2. Ethical Governance – Transparent and responsible business practices. 
  3. Cybersecurity & Data Protection – Secure by Design principles to protect clients and critical assets. 
  4. Employee Wellbeing – Recognition, development, and long-term career support for our teams. 
  5. Community & Inclusion – Local engagement and active support for diversity in security. 

At Cortech, CSR is not a boxticking exercise, it’s a commitment to doing business the right way. By combining sustainability, ethical practices, cybersecurity leadership, employee empowerment, and community engagement, we are helping build a stronger, more responsible future for our customers, employees, and the communities we touch.
