Awards and certifications
Our ESG awards and certifications provide third-party recognition that we are making real progress to achieve our ESG ambitions and targets, and that we are committed to doing things the right way.
Wellbeing
Empowering people and increasing wellbeing for all
As the UK’s leading provider of HR, pay, reward, analytics and employee experiences, our software, services and solutions touch millions of people.
Here’s how we’re using this interaction as an opportunity to deliver on our goal of wellbeing for all:
Interactive digital payslips, which empower millions of people to understand their pay and benefits better.
Increasing the availability of digital resources, tools, and education to promote awareness about all aspects of wellbeing: from physical to mental, from financial to emotional.
Providing the information and support needed to help employees proactively manage life’s challenges and protect against key risks.
Collaborating across our industry to build knowledge, confidence, and thought leadership for better financial wellbeing.
Bringing our wellbeing ambitions to life and expanding our reach
We support mental, physical, financial, and social wellbeing, helping employees to increase their resilience. We offer a leading clinician-designed wellbeing solution managed by a team of psychologists, promoting emotional health.
Benefex OneHub delivers lifestyle savings to make pay go further, plus employee benefits that protect against key risks, encourage healthy habits, and save money. Actionable insights help our customers to build data-driven health and wellbeing strategies.
Diversity
Championing diversity of thought and experiences
We’re committed to helping organisations improve diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), so all employees feel seen, respected, and motivated at work. Through our customers, we pay 1 in 6 people in the UK and Ireland. We’re empowering employers to better understand their workforce make-up thanks to data insights, so they can set, track, and achieve ambitious DEI goals. Our flexible benefits allow employees to choose and adapt their package according to their individual needs and circumstances
Here’s how we’re empowering organisations to be truly diverse:
Scaling our MyDiversity data to help our customers achieve their DEI ambitions with an inclusive and responsive way to capture data confidentially and securely.
Enabling organisations to meet current and future pay gap reporting requirements such as gender, disability, ethnicity, and CEO pay gap reporting.
Investing in comprehensive research to reveal employee points of view, and provide best practice guidance for employers, in collaboration with leading experts and institutions including The Economist.
Championing pay equity and personalised employee benefits that are easily accessible to all.
Supporting organisations to become more diverse and representative
Diversity data collection is evolving. Through MyDiversity data, we empower our customers to go a step beyond the usual pre-employment diversity monitoring questions. It recognises that life circumstances and personal identities, as well as confidence in data sharing, change over time.
With knowledge comes the power to understand where you are, drive change, and achieve goals. Imagine what our organisations could do with a full global breakdown of diversity and inclusion metrics. This is the future into which we are heading.
Community
Strengthening the communities we’re part of
The communities in which we live, work, and interact with one another are the foundations on which our impact grows. Here’s what we’re doing to protect and strengthen our workspaces and communities:
Here’s what we’re doing to protect and strengthen our workspaces and communities:
Making charitable giving easy via integrated payroll giving solutions and partnerships. One example is Pennies from Heaven.
Supporting our local communities through volunteering and partnering with community organisations.
Empowering customers to provide high-quality employment and workplace experiences for their employees.
How we’re supporting the community
Real Living Wage Employer
We believe in providing high quality employment experiences, which includes paying our colleagues fairly for their work. That’s why we’re proud to pay all colleagues across all our operations in line with, and above, the local living wage rate.
In the UK we are a certified Real Living Wage Employer, having paid in line with this rate since 2019. This includes our UK based contractors. We will continue to include living wage analysis in our salary review process each year.
Making charitable giving as easy as just one click with Microhive
There’s never been a more important time take care of one another and where we live. Our partnership with Microhive (formerly known as Pennies from Heaven) provides an easy way for employees at Zellis customer organisations to automatically donate the pennies from their payslips to charity. If all 5 million Zellis-paid employees did this, we could collectively raise up to £60 million every year. So those pennies really do add up.
“This really is the time for companies to step up and support society – it is a tough time for us all, but it could be catastrophic for the most vulnerable. It might not be the time to ask people to make the big gestures, but if all of us help in a small way, together we can have a significant social impact.”
Kate Frost.
CEO. Microhive.
Environment
Go beyond minimising our impact
At Zellis Group, protecting our environment goes beyond minimising our impact but also extends to taking proactive steps to protect and restore biodiversity. From reducing waste, to conserving resources, and reducing carbon emissions, every action we take contributes to the goal of a healthier planet.
Here’s how we’re protecting our environment for future generations:
Cutting our carbon footprint with better ways of working, reducing waste, and sustainable procurement
Encouraging more sustainable behaviours through employee benefits, including tree planting, greener travel, and more eco-friendly energy choices
Proactively protect and restore biodiversity of the communities we operate in through our property strategy and employee volunteering
How we’re protecting the environment
Planting 1 million trees with the help of Benefex customers and their employees
Benefex’s Trees with Benefits initiative enables employers to plant a tree every time an employee makes a new benefit selection on the OneHub platform.
Over the next three years the company expects to have planted 1 million trees in a dedicated reforestation site in Nepal. This is just one of many places where we can make more impact and deliver on our responsibility to fight climate change together.
Getting ahead of nationwide objectives and becoming Net Carbon Zero by 2027
We are committed to tackling climate change and reducing our carbon emissions. By 2027 we will be operationally net carbon zero, and by 2040 we will be net zero across all scopes, both targets are science-aligned, and in-line with a 1.5°C pathway to avoid the worst effects of climate change.
We have submitted our near and long-term targets, and plans to achieve them, to be externally validated by the Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi).
Rapid transformation is taking place across our whole business; from optimising facilities and energy usage, to improving recycling systems, better waste management and promoting electric cars.
For Financial Year 2024 (May 2023 – April 2024) our group wide carbon emissions were:
| Financial Year 2024 (May 2023 – April 2024) | Financial Year 2023 (May 2022 – April 2023) | |
| Total Scope 1 | 159.1 tCO2e | 234.8 tCO2e |
| Total Scope 2 | 106.5 tCO2e | 198.3 tCO2e |
