We see ESG as a practical commitment, not a branding exercise. It is about making steady, informed decisions that reflect our values and build long-term resilience. That means reducing harm, strengthening trust, and creating the conditions for growth by doing what is right even when no one is watching. These principles guide not only how we serve our clients but also how we operate as a business.
At Crenellate, environmental, social, and governance considerations are part of how we think, plan, and act. We do this not because it is required, but because it is the right thing to do.

We operate with a small footprint and a clear intention to keep it that way. As a digitally native business, we avoid unnecessary travel, reduce waste, and choose service providers who align with low-impact, energy-efficient practices.
Our approach includes:
-
Minimising emissions by limiting physical infrastructure, choosing sustainable hosting and cloud services, and working remotely wherever possible.
-
Reducing waste through recycling, avoiding single-use materials, and keeping our equipment use lean and fit-for-purpose.
-
Helping others do the same by advising clients on ways to strengthen their environmental position through better digital decisions and more efficient operations.
We believe small, steady improvements matter and that sustainability starts with the choices we make every day.
Environmental Responsibility

Social
We believe business should strengthen the communities it touches. That means supporting fair access to opportunity, investing in people, and working with suppliers who share those values.
Our commitments include:
-
Creating opportunities for others, especially those underrepresented in digital and security roles. We support practical pathways into meaningful work through training, mentoring, and partnerships.
-
Supporting regional and remote participation by building roles that allow people to stay where they live, including on Country.
-
Choosing suppliers with care, prioritising those who demonstrate ethical employment practices, fair pay, and genuine social contribution.
Crenellate is a Supply Nation registered business and a member of the NSW Indigenous Chamber of Commerce. We support the Uluru Statement from the Heart and are currently finalising our Reflect Reconciliation Action Plan.

Governance
We take governance seriously because trust depends on it. Our standards reflect a commitment to fairness, transparency, and accountability the way we operate and in who we work with.
Our approach includes:
-
Acting with integrity, making decisions based on merit, responsibility, and long-term impact rather than convenience.
-
Maintaining clear boundaries between commercial, personal, and ethical considerations, especially when dealing with partners and procurement.
-
Embedding fairness into daily practice, from how we manage risk to how we engage with staff, clients, and community.
-
Reviewing our suppliers regularly to ensure alignment with laws on modern slavery and expectations around ethical business conduct.
Good governance is not about ticking boxes. It is about doing what is right, consistently and without compromise.
