Business Ethics and Responsible Business Statement

At Impact Futures Group, we believe that how we achieve our goals is just as important as what we achieve. This statement applies across Impact Futures Group and its operating businesses. We are committed to conducting business honestly, ethically and with integrity, recognising that strong ethical standards build trust, reduce risk, strengthen stakeholder confidence, support sustainable organisational performance and help us create lasting value for learners, employers, colleagues and the communities we serve.

As a leading education, training and skills provider, we are committed to conducting our business with integrity, transparency and accountability. We recognise that our reputation and long-term success are built on the trust of our learners, employers, colleagues, partners, suppliers, investors, regulators and the communities we serve.

Acting with Integrity

We are committed to honest, fair and ethical business practices. We maintain a zero-tolerance approach to bribery, corruption, fraud and any form of unethical conduct. We expect everyone working with or on behalf of Impact Futures Group to act with honesty, professionalism and accountability in all business activities and relationships.

Respecting People

We are committed to creating an inclusive, respectful and safe environment for learners, colleagues and stakeholders. We value diversity, promote equality of opportunity and seek to ensure that everyone is treated with dignity, fairness and respect.

Safeguarding Trust

Protecting learners, colleagues and vulnerable individuals is fundamental to our work. We are committed to maintaining strong safeguarding practices, promoting learner welfare and ensuring concerns can be raised, investigated and addressed appropriately.

Speaking Up

We encourage colleagues and stakeholders to raise concerns where they believe wrongdoing, unethical behaviour or misconduct may have occurred. We are committed to maintaining effective whistleblowing arrangements and protecting those who raise concerns in good faith.

Responsible Partnerships and Supply Chains

We seek to work with suppliers, partners and contractors who share our commitment to ethical business practices, legal compliance and responsible conduct. Through our proportionate supplier due diligence approach, we aim to understand and manage risks relating to safeguarding, modern slavery, data protection, information security, business continuity and responsible business practices across our supply chain.

We expect organisations acting on our behalf to uphold standards that reflect our values and support the safe, ethical and high-quality delivery of services to learners, employers and stakeholders.

Compliance and Accountability

We comply with all relevant laws and regulations and maintain policies and procedures covering areas including business ethics, anti-bribery, whistleblowing, safeguarding, equality, modern slavery, data protection and information security. We recognise that robust governance and clear accountability are essential to maintaining trust and delivering positive outcomes.

Continuous Improvement

We recognise that responsible business practices continue to evolve. We are committed to reviewing and strengthening our approach over time, supporting our wider Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) ambitions and ensuring we remain a trusted partner to learners, employers and communities.

By embedding ethical behaviour into our culture, decision-making and partnerships, we aim to create positive and lasting impact through the work we do, while maintaining the trust and confidence of all those who depend on us.
