The directors and senior management of Veritech Systems Ltd recognise the importance of responsible community engagement as an integral part of its business activities.

Veritech’s Community Engagement Policy recognises that all stakeholders with whom we engage have rights and deserve respect, and this guides the way that we collaborate with the communities and stakeholders with whom we work.

• Veritech installed a “defibrillator” on their building for use by its staff and the local community.
• Veritech sponsors and supports the “Solent Thrashers” and “Totton Football Club”.
• Assisting the local council and police, Veritech built and installed a “dog pound” to help during winter periods.
• Veritech supports “Lyndhurst Doctors surgery” by replacing their CCTV system at no cost and providing ongoing support.
• Veritech recently organized a “counterterrorism awareness” seminar for their client,” Solent University”, at their Southampton grounds for local residents, students, and businesses.

The Southampton Police conducted the counterterriorism seminar with Veritech in support.

• Veritech is currently planning to host a “Charity Gala” on October 10, 2024, to raise funds and awareness for their corporate partner, the “Hampshire & Isle of Wight Air Ambulance”.
• Veritech operates its own “neighborhood watch” platform to offer free security advice and support for residents and businesses, sharing important information about crime prevention and deterrence.
• Veritech has welcomed two new “apprentices” to learn the functions of the business and support their learning development.

Apprentices often bring fresh perspectives and new ideas to the business, contributing to innovation and problem-solving. Their enthusiasm and eagerness to learn can also have a positive impact on the overall work environment, boosting morale and encouraging a culture of continuous learning.

Apprenticeships can also enhance employee loyalty. When Veritech invested in the training and development of their apprentices, it lead to greater job satisfaction and retention, as they feel valued and are more likely to commit to the organisation long-term.

Having apprentices in Veritech has fostered the development of our skilled and loyal workforce, promoted innovation, and supporting the company’s long-term growth and sustainability goals.

Veritech is organising a charity open day event in August 2024 to raise awareness and funds for the “Hampshire & Isle of Wight Air Ambulance”. The event will feature CPR learning opportunities, a helicopter simulator, and other educational and fun activities for children and adults.

Furthermore, Veritech recognises that working proactively with communities is integral to a viable future. 

The objectives of the Company’s commitment to community engagement are to:

• Be proactive and transparent in our engagement with communities.
• Contribute to the local community by donating equipment and or funds.
• Contribute to developing community programs through appropriate participation and support.
