Yorkshire, UK – 5 November, 2024: Local tech company, Claritas Solutions, is proud to announce a significant milestone in its sustainability journey. The company, which specialises in sovereign services which include a private, community and public sovereign cloud and cutting-edge software solutions for small and medium-sized businesses, has seen its sustainability rating rise from 4 stars to an impressive 4.5 stars over the past year.

This achievement reflects Claritas Solutions’s commitment to delivering quality, innovation, as well as being sustainable. Founded in Leeds, the firm has rapidly gained a reputation across the region for handling complicated data projects for central Government, developing customised systems in a sovereign and secure manner all backed up with personalised support – you get to talk to real people who know your business. The increase in its rating is a direct result of its people caring about providing a more sustainable future and the company’s ongoing efforts to be a differentiator in the IT space within Yorkshire and beyond.

Support the Goals is a global initiative that was established to rate and recognise businesses that support the SDGs to work towards a more sustainable future. A four- and half-star rating is only awarded to organisations who are actively involving their suppliers in their efforts towards reaching these goals. For most businesses, a significant amount of their environmental and social impact comes from the supply chain therefore making it is vitally important to work in partnership with suppliers to understand and support the SDGs.

Operations Director, Jenny Lloyd, said:

“We are absolutely thrilled with the improvement in our sustainability rating and are deeply committed to supporting the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We believe that every business has a responsibility to champion the Global Goals and play an active role in building a better world — today, tomorrow, and for generations to come. Social responsibility isn’t just a separate initiative for us; it is embedded in everything we do. It’s about driving meaningful, positive change every single day, ensuring that our actions contribute to a more sustainable, equitable future for all.”

In addition to enhanced product features, the firm has also introduced a new customer support initiative with extended support hours on a 4-day working week rota, providing technical assistance. This new service has been particularly well-received, with clients praising the responsiveness and expertise of the support team.

As Claritas Solutions Yorkshire continues to expand its product range and customer base, the company remains focused on maintaining its roots in the local community. Plans for further investment in regional talent and additional partnerships with Yorkshire-based businesses are already underway.
