<h1>Integrated Workforce Solutions&nbsp;</h1><p>Guidant Global is proud to be part of Impellam, a connected group offering unparalleled workforce and STEM talent solutions expertise to provide your organization with mission-critical skillsets to future-proof your business. Our blended approach fuses extensive workforce solutions expertise, with access to deep communities of STEM talent.&nbsp;</p><p>As one of the largest workforce and STEM talent solutions companies in the world, we help clients to get the best possible ROI from nearly £4.5bn of workforce spend and 2,900 supplier relationships, across nearly 80 countries.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p>

<h2>Impellam’s journey to Net Zero</h2><p>We've made a long-term commitment to our blended working policy, which encourages less impactful working behaviors – such as working from home and conducting meetings online.</p><p>We calculate our environmental impact across Scope 1, 2 and 3 (selected categories) for our UK operations. Our 2022 UK emissions were 894,249 kgCO2e (down from 969,569 kgCO2e in 2021). This is an average impact of 442 kgCO2e per £m revenue (down from 582 kgCO2e per £m in 2021).</p><p>We achieved carbon neutral certification for 2022 by offsetting our carbon emissions, as stated above, using the PAS2060 framework.</p><p>2022 was our first full financial year of purchasing 100% renewable electricity for our UK operations. In 2021-22, our supplier’s fuel mix was zero carbon and 100% renewable energy, made up of 82.5% wind, 9.3% solar and 8.2% hydro power.</p><p>Our head office has achieved accreditation to ISO 14001 in relation to its environment management systems.</p><h2>UNITY - Our inclusion council</h2><p>We want to create workspaces that reflect the diversity of our society. Where everyone – from any background – can be their authentic selves and do their best work. We are inclusive and welcoming for people of all gender identities, sexual orientations, races, ethnicities, disabilities, abilities, military statuses, socioeconomic statuses, ages and faiths.</p><p>We do this internally through UNITY, our equity, diversity and inclusion council, and externally by working with our clients, suppliers and ED&amp;I partners to design strategies to attract and engage under-represented groups and to remove barriers to recruitment.</p>

<h1>#ABetterWay for supplier relations</h1>
<p>MSPs often neglect suppliers. At Guidant Global, we do things differently. We partner. We collaborate. We nurture.</p>

<h1>Award winning SRM&nbsp;</h1>
<p>Our supplier and strategic partner relationships have helped us win APSCo&rsquo;s coveted RPO/MSP of the Year Award four times &ndash; and three awards in consecutive years &mdash; the only RPO/MSP to ever achieve this!</p>
<p>We&rsquo;re well-versed in assuming control of existing supply chains and preferred supplier lists, giving them the opportunity to supply within a Guidant MSP program. We then install governance that allows us to review performance so we can refine the supply chain to include only the very best suppliers.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Using our INfluence. Driving inclusion through supplier diversity</h2>
<p>Our INfluence Supplier Diversity Program has a vital role to play in nurturing more minority suppliers into our supply chain. Working in a two-year partnership, Guidant Global provides selected diverse suppliers with multiple tools to help them achieve greater success and the platform to build mutually beneficial relationships with our clients to help inform and support their ED&amp;I goals.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Suppliers driving candidate diversity</h2>
<p>We work with pre-selected suppliers to create a set of diversity metrics which both Guidant and the supplier commit to. For example &ndash; if the client is focusing on driving female representation in an area of their workforce, our suppliers agree that 3 out of 5 candidates submitted will be women.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Aligning suppliers to Impellam&rsquo;s ED&amp;I UNITY program</h2>
<p>At Impellam we have UNITY &ndash; our internal ED&amp;I program. UNITY brings our people together to build communities, find allies across our regions, to raise awareness and champion change. Our BRG&rsquo;s (business resource groups) align to each protected characteristic (and more, such as veterans). We align strategically suitable suppliers to each BRG area, based on the accreditations they hold and initiatives the supplier promotes.&nbsp;</p>
<p>This is designed to both extend the reach of our BRG&rsquo;s but to also help clients find capable suppliers who can help drive specific areas of diverse talent into their workforces.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Supporting growth</h2>
<p>Our Ascend program is designed to identify a small number of suppliers each year and forge a deeper partnership, resulting in growth and brand amplification for both Guidant and the supplier. We achieve this through access to a host of Guidant resources, alignment of shared values, shared intelligence and collaboration across our teams, especially with Sales.</p>

<h1>Become a supplier</h1>
<p>We only work with the very best recruitment suppliers. Like-minded partners that share our candidate-centric approach. If you would like to know more about becoming a Guidant Global supply partner, get in touch.</p>

<h2>Access best technology in the industry</h2>

<h2>The right technology partners. Configured to meet your unique needs.</h2>
<p>Our end-to-end technology approach covers identification and configuration to training, change management and ongoing support.</p>

<h2>Discover data &amp; analytics insights</h2>

<h1>Vision. A powerful, personalized data ecosystem.</h1>
<p>Vision is powerful. A dataset built from your own workforce data and that of thousands of global suppliers&rsquo; integral performance data, past and present.</p>
