SUSTAINABILITY
Supporting the Global Goals
In 2015, 193 world leaders agreed on a set of 17 global goals to end extreme poverty, inequality and climate change by 2030. These have been established as the 17 Sustainable Development Goals and each come with their own targets and indicators.
For ADM Computing, sustainability has been at the forefront of our business objectives since our establishment in 1984. Managing Director, Adrian Bryant, has been a life long advocate for protecting the environment and to this day, the importance of preserving our environment is included in ADM’s vision statement.
ADM proudly joined the “Support the Goals” movement as a corporate member in 2021 to be part of the global objectives to make a better world.
ADM Computing as a medium sized IT company in Canterbury cannot change the world. We recognise that; however the combined effort of lots of organisations and people like us can make a difference. We hope our experience of being part of this movement might encourage others do something similar.
The key aims of the initiative are to :
- Raise awareness of the Global Goals in the business community
- Promote a structured approach to planning, target setting, and reporting in respect of the goals
- Give young people work experience in corporate sustainability, so they understand how business can contribute to a better world

Our Pledges
We believe that independent of our business and time challenges, it is our responsibility to give back to our community and our planet. ADM is pledging its profit and time to support the community and the environment. We have mapped our sustainability strategy to six of the global goals where we think we can make a difference and have chosen to focus our efforts towards supporting Goal 1 – No Poverty, Goal 3 – Good Health and Wellbeing, Goal 4 – Quality Education, Goal 5 – Gender Equality, Goal 12 – Responsible Consumption & Production and Goal 13 – Climate Action.
End poverty in all its forms everywhere.
Nearly half of the world’s population lives in poverty, and lack of food and clean water is killing thousands every single day of the year. Together, we can feed the hungry, wipe out disease and give everyone in the world a chance to prosper and live a productive and rich life.

Our Targets
As an organisation that operates predominately within the South-East of England, the goal to “end poverty in all its forms everywhere” may seem unrealistic. Although these goals were initially defined with governments and countries in mind, not businesses, this does not mean we as businesses are incapable of making a lasting impact and working towards this goal collectively. By working with organisations like Tools With a Mission and Practical Action, ADM have donated countless PCs, laptops, solar panels as well as two off road vehicles and over £10,000 to help developing villages support their own education systems.

Our Targets
Mental and physical health are equally important components of overall health.
ADM’s goal is to help reduce mortality from non-communicable diseases and promote good mental health, and prevent and treat substance abuse.
By making resources readily available to staff and promoting good mental health & wellbeing within the workplace, ADM were awarded the Bronze, Silver & Gold status for the Kent & Medway Mental Health & Workplace Wellbeing program in 2021, followed by achieving the Platinum status in 2022. We were also announced as winner of the Kent mental health and wellbeing awards in 2021, presented by South Kent Mind.
Since achieving these milestones internally, ADM have gone on to sponsor the Kent Mental Wellbeing Awards in the years that followed, and host free accessible wellbeing webinars for our network – acting as ambassadors within the community.

Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.
Education liberates the intellect, unlocks the imagination and is fundamental for self-respect. It is the key to prosperity and opens a world of opportunities, making it possible for each of us to contribute to a progressive, healthy society. Learning benefits every human being and should be available to all.

Our Target
Education is one of the most important factors in a society concerning the development of human capital and the well-being of the inhabitants of each region.
By engaging in fantastic projects around the world, ADM hope to help increase the number of people with relevant skills for financial success regardless of background. We hope to achieve this by providing greater access to learning opportunites, and improving access to key resources that directly correlate to employability in this evolving world.

Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls.
Gender bias is undermining our social fabric and devalues all of us. It is not just a human rights issue; it is a tremendous waste of the world’s human potential. By denying women equal rights, we deny half the population a chance to live life at its fullest. Political, economic and social equality for women will benefit all the world’s citizens. Together we can eradicate prejudice and work for equal rights and respect for all.

Our Targets
At ADM, we recognise the pivotal role of technology in advancing gender equality. By increasing the representation of women in the tech field, we strive to create an inclusive environment that not only fosters innovation but also promotes equal opportunities. We are actively involved in initiatives that encourage and support women’s involvement in technology, providing them with the necessary skills and access to resources that catalyse their success in this rapidly evolving sector. Through these efforts, ADM aims to contribute significantly to the empowerment of women globally, ensuring they have equal chances to thrive and lead in the realm of technology.

Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns.
Our planet has provided us with an abundance of natural resources. But we have not utilized them responsibly and currently consume far beyond what our planet can provide. We must learn how to use and produce in sustainable ways that will reverse the harm that we have inflicted on the planet.

Our Targets
As an environmentally conscious business, sustainable consumption and waste management has always been a strong focus of ours. By partnering with local initiatives, and assessing the way we generate, manage and consume resources, we have been able to make a lasting difference to our impact on the planet.

Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts.
Climate change is a real and undeniable threat to our entire civilisation.The effects are already visible and will be catastrophic unless we act now. Through education, innovation and adherence to our climate commitments, we can make the necessary changes to protect the planet. These changes also provide huge opportunities to modernise our infrastructure which will create new jobs and promote greater prosperity across the globe.

Our Targets
Aligned with the Sustainable Development Goal to enhance education and awareness on climate change mitigation and adaptation, we are committed to fostering a deep understanding and proactive behavior towards environmental sustainability within our workplace and across our network.
We are actively involved in initiatives that educate and empower our employees and partners to take meaningful action against climate change. By integrating climate education into our corporate culture, we aim to equip our team with the knowledge and tools necessary to contribute to climate resilience. Furthermore, we collaborate with other organisations to share best practices and innovative solutions that can lead to substantial impact reduction.
