Biodiversity underpins healthy ecosystems and climate stability. As businesses affect ecosystems directly and through their supply chains, assessing and managing biodiversity risk is essential.

Speeki’s direct environmental footprint is limited, but we consider biodiversity in our supply chain and business decisions. We promote sustainable practices and work with suppliers who share our standards to avoid contributing to ecosystem degradation.

Speeki views climate change as a cross-cutting business challenge, not a standalone environmental issue. We consider both physical risks from severe weather and transition risks arising from policy and technological change.

As a software and consulting business, our direct footprint is limited. Our focus is on reducing air travel, using lower-impact hosting solutions and minimising greenhouse gas emissions across our operations.

Businesses depend on natural resources directly and through their supply chains. Managing environmental impact therefore requires attention to climate, water, energy and biodiversity.

Speeki has reduced air travel, does not operate company vehicles and works primarily from shared offices in environmentally conscious buildings. We minimise paper use and restrict single-use plastics and non-recyclable materials in our offices to reduce resource consumption.

Waste management involves collecting, processing and disposing of waste responsibly. Managing it sustainably reduces negative impacts on the environment and human health.

Speeki’s approach focuses on reducing resource consumption, reusing materials where possible and minimising waste. We generate limited waste in our business and are increasing recycling across our operations.

Although the clean energy innovation movement began years ago, following greater awareness of greenhouse gases and their effects, its efforts have recently been bolstered by government incentives and increased attention from the global news media.

At Speeki, we work from environmentally aware buildings. Even though most of our operations are in shared offices or conducted from home, we are committed to using less energy whenever possible.

Pollution, whether in the form of air, water or land contamination, poses environmental and health risks. Effective management is essential to support sustainable operations and protect ecosystems.

At Speeki, we seek to reduce our environmental footprint. Although our direct impact is limited, we promote pollution control within our supply chain, prioritising sustainable materials, waste reduction and energy-efficient practices.

Human capital management (HCM) covers how an organisation recruits, develops and manages its people to support performance and growth. Unlike administrative HR functions, HCM includes strategic elements such as workforce planning, analytics and performance management to ensure the right skills are in place.

At Speeki, we are a small team focused on doing the right thing for our people. As we grow, we will scale and formalise this approach to maintain a supportive and productive work environment.

As awareness of diversity and inclusion grows, so does the business case for embedding diversity, equity and inclusion within organisational management systems.

At Speeki, diversity strengthens our performance. We value diversity in thought, culture, language, race and gender, and more than 65% of our team are women of Asian, Hispanic and Caucasian descent.

Our team spans Australia, South Korea, the United States, Hong Kong, Malaysia, the Philippines, Poland, Mexico, the United Kingdom and France, and we continue to seek broader representation.

A value chain describes the full range of activities required to create and deliver a product or service. For a services company like Speeki, this includes development, marketing, sales, support, as well as supply chain and partner management.

Speeki has conducted a value chain analysis by reviewing the procedures across each stage of our business. Our assessment indicates a low ESG risk, as most services we procure relate to development resources and technology support.

Speeki looks beyond our own business and seeks to be an active stakeholder in society over the long term. In addition to charitable giving, we are strong supporters of ESG and the impact it can have, and we will continue to raise awareness of the ESG cause. This is our way of making the corporate world more responsible.

We are interested in supporting the markets we operate in by providing services and our platform on a no-cost or low-cost basis for charities and groups focused on helping communities.

Respecting and supporting human rights remains one of the most challenging areas of corporate sustainability. Speeki has communicated our zero tolerance for any form of modern-day slavery, forced labour or human trafficking in any part of our business or supply chain. Our assessment indicates that this is a very low risk for Speeki; however, we continue to monitor the situation because it is crucial.

Speeki uses its own tools to manage aspects of these risks through the Speeki Platform.

Data privacy protects personal information and individuals’ control over how their data is used. It requires handling sensitive data in line with legal and regulatory requirements.

At Speeki, we comply with data protection laws, including the GDPR, and are ISO 27001:2022 certified. We update our practices as regulations evolve.

We also provide tools that allow clients to manage privacy requirements, including hosting data in multiple locations while keeping it within Europe.

Information security protects data from unauthorised access, corruption or loss through physical, technical and administrative safeguards.

At Speeki, information security is a priority. We are ISO 27001 certified and apply strict data protection protocols to safeguard client and company information, including measures to ensure rapid recovery where necessary. We regularly review and strengthen our controls to address emerging threats.

Health and safety are critical to employee wellbeing and directly affect productivity and morale. Providing a safe and supportive environment is therefore essential for any organisation.

Speeki is a small team operating from home and office locations. Our risk assessment identifies mental health as our most significant area of focus, and we prioritise protecting our people and workplace morale through open dialogue, support and respect for individual needs.

Corporate governance establishes the rules and practices that guide how a company operates and align stakeholder interests. Its core principles are accountability, transparency, fairness and responsibility.

At Speeki, we are strengthening governance through improved controls, systems and approval authorities. Our model will continue to evolve as we grow, and we use our own tools through the Speeki Platform to manage governance in line with ISO 37000.

Corporate compliance covers adherence to internal policies and applicable national and local laws. Effective compliance helps prevent and detect violations, reducing the risk of fines and legal exposure.

At Speeki, compliance is an ongoing process designed to protect and strengthen our business. Our programme integrates external regulations, internal policies and employee training across the organisation to reduce the risk of misconduct and operational failure. We manage compliance in line with ISO 37301.

Corruption undermines trust in institutions and has wide social and economic consequences. Given the nature of our business, corruption risk at Speeki is low.

We do not engage with government officials, operate in highly regulated sectors or deal in cash or cash equivalents. We do not sell to government departments, provide lavish gifts or entertainment, or fund client-related travel.

Our anti-bribery framework is aligned with ISO 37001.

Speeki manages risk proactively, focusing on reducing negative impacts and supporting positive outcomes. Our risk management approach enhances project success, reduces unexpected events and strengthens financial resilience.

We conduct an annual risk assessment documented at board and management level, using our own tools through Speeki Survey.

Our framework aligns with ISO 31000.

Ethics guide behaviour, and integrity means acting consistently with those principles in daily decisions. It connects values with action and requires honesty and moral courage.

At Speeki, integrity shapes how our leaders act and how our culture develops. By embedding ethical conduct in our decisions and operations, we build trust with stakeholders and strengthen long-term credibility.

Speeki takes whistleblowing seriously as it is central to our core business. We use our own tools as part of our reporting system so whistleblowers and others who raise concerns understand that there will be no retaliation.

Our programme is based on the ISO 37002 framework, and we adopt those guidelines as part of our approach to managing whistleblowing.

Sustainability governance refers to the systems and policies that oversee and guide an organisation’s sustainability efforts. It integrates sustainability into decision-making at all levels and aligns it with long-term business objectives.

At Speeki, we embed sustainability into our own operations and governance processes. Through clear policies and defined responsibilities, we promote accountability, transparency and measurable progress towards our sustainability goals.

Artificial intelligence presents both opportunities and risks for organisations, particularly in data processing, decision-making and automation.

At Speeki, we promote the responsible and ethical use of AI in our operations and in the solutions we support for clients. Our approach emphasises transparency, fairness and accountability, ensuring alignment with ethical standards and long-term sustainability objectives.
