About the Employer

GEMSTONE IT SERVICES LIMITED
Our Values Sustainability Front and centre of our values at Gemstone is a desire to support an environmentally sustainable future. We take active measures throughout our processes to ensure that our carbon footprint is as close to zero as possible. Our aim is for net carbon reduction. No small goal but one we are never the less committed to. Measures we have taken so far include limiting staff travel and carrying out virtual meetings wherever possible. We also operate a completely paperless system which not only benefits the environment but is also quickly and easily accessible to our partners and clients. There is always more we can do which is why in 2024 we will begin our efforts towards having a carbon reducing effect through our processes including opting for suppliers with carbon reduction goals as well as carrying out some of our own carbon reducing activities. Yes - that includes some members of the team actually planting trees… but also by supporting some of our environmental partners in their efforts to reduce deforestation and tackle inefficient supply chains. Annual Gemstone Charity Award This year we are proud to announce that we will be running our very first Annual Gemstone Charity Award through which we will be looking to directly support a UK based Charity aligned with our values by offering them some of our expert services for free.
