ESG is reported on at every board meeting twice a month. As well as having our leadership team, the design, manufacturing and HR teams equally drive the projects through their own passion to deliver the holistic, inclusive approach to targets we set ourselves each year. Everyone has a voice and is encouraged to contribute to new initiatives. These are shared in quarterly newsletters and team calls to inspire us all to be better at what we do and to each other.
Responsible Procurement
Audiotonix suppliers are an extension of our business, and we endeavour to ensure all our vendors have the same exacting standards and ethics that we apply in our daily business lives. All manufacturers need to demonstrate good working conditions for all employees with no child labour, no discrimination, reasonable working hours and fair pay. Since 2018, the UK procurement teams have been working with suppliers and manufacturers to ensure they meet all of our Supplier Code of Conduct criteria.
Supplier Audits
A pillar of our responsible supply chain is an on-site audit of the manufacturer. The audit is driven by an extensive questionnaire to ensure the vendor satisfies all our labour, health and safety, and sustainable practices criteria.

Corporate Governance
We do not trade with sanctioned countries and screen every supplier and customer for compliance, whether their country is on any sanctions lists or not. Our key front-line employees receive training on AEB, Sanctions and CCO as well as structured IT security and GDPR training for all employees alongside specialist training for our marketing teams and anyone handling personal data. In February 2022, we immediately ceased all trading with Russia and Belarus and continue to monitor worldwide political situations as they arise.
Cyber Security
Integrating ESG into IT governance is a strategic move towards sustainable growth. Audiotonix have been able to enhance our long-term resilience, attract ethical investments, and contribute positively to society and the environment.
Our cybersecurity strategy has expanded to include a comprehensive program of penetration testing and remediation, the implementation of an Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) system with an integrated Security Operations Centre (SOC), and the introduction of a new Security Awareness Training (SAT) program. These initiatives have led to improvements in threat detection and employee training metrics across the organisation.
IT Governance
Over the last 4 years, our focus has been on implementing the Cyber Essentials (CE) and Cyber Essentials Plus (CE+) security standards across all group companies whilst working within the IASME governance framework as a baseline standard across all businesses.
