Responsible & ethical business practice
Responsible & ethical business practice
Endava’s approach to business is about acting ethically and with the highest levels of integrity in everything we do. It’s about living our values and doing the right thing for our people, investors, customers, suppliers and the broader communities in which we live and work.
Endava’s Code of Conduct (the “Code”) flows directly from our core purpose and values. By following the Code, we apply the highest business conduct standards and ethics to daily work situations. Through our combined efforts, we make the right decisions that benefit our people, investors, customers, suppliers, and the broader communities in which we live, work and operate.
The Code explains our approach to anti-bribery and corruption, conflicts of interest, insider trading, health & safety, human rights, speaking up safely, protecting company and customer information and assets, and responsible communication.
99% of our Endavans have successfully completed the Endava Code of Conduct e-learning course for 3 years in a row.
We believe that words are important: they have the power to create a more inclusive, ethically aware culture and an environment where everybody plays their part. That is why we are communicating the values of integrity – character, decency and honesty – to mobilise our people to build on our track record of compliance.
Corporate governance
Corporate governance
Endava’s Board shares collective responsibility for the company’s long-term success with individual members undertaking clearly defined and documented activities on its behalf. The Audit, Remuneration, Nominating, and Corporate Governance committees meet at least quarterly. For FY21 the Board had 100% attendance at all Board meetings.
We take all necessary actions to maintain compliance as a foreign private issuer under the applicable corporate governance requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, plus the SEC and the NYSE corporate governance rules and listing standards. As defined by the SEC, we are a “foreign private issuer” that is permitted to follow UK corporate governance practices instead of certain corporate governance practices required by the NYSE for US domestic issuers.
Rewarding shared efforts
Rewarding shared efforts
We believe it’s important to say “Thank you” and the Your Zone Awards is our way of showing Endavans they are appreciated and valued: from sending an e-thank you to a colleague who went that extra mile in helping us, to rewarding individual outstanding contributions of people who inspire us, as well as the highly performing teams that have gone beyond the call of duty to move the business forward.
One of the ways we create opportunities for all of us to share in our success is through our Sharesave Plan, which is an excellent way for our people to be part of the Endava growth story and benefit from the company’s success. Over 46% of our people are now participating in the Sharesave plan.
