Fair Money & Economic Opportunity

0

APTD.LSE is a B2B software provider, offering finance transformation and automation software to other companies. The 'Fair Money & Economic Opportunity' value and its associated KPIs are designed to assess financial institutions that directly offer lending, insurance, or deposit services to consumers. As APTD.LSE does not operate in this capacity, and no evidence in the provided articles pertains to its direct impact on consumer financial services or economic opportunity for marginalized populations, all KPIs are scored at 0, indicating they are not applicable to the company's core business model.

Fair Pay & Worker Respect

0

No evidence available to assess APTITUDE SOFTWARE GROUP PLC on Fair Pay & Worker Respect.

Fair Trade & Ethical Sourcing

0

Aptitude Software Group PLC operates as a software provider, focusing on finance transformation and automation software. Given this business model, the company does not procure or trade physical commodities, nor does it have a supply chain that involves raw materials or manufacturing processes typically associated with fair trade certifications, high-risk materials, or multi-tier traceability for physical goods. Consequently, several KPIs related to physical commodity sourcing and traditional supply chain audits are not applicable to its operations.

Honest & Fair Business

-30

Aptitude Software has a "Whistleblower Procedure for Poland" for reporting legal violations.

1
This procedure includes an internal reporting channel, processes for handling reports, investigation procedures, and protection against retaliation.

The explicit regional scope of this policy suggests that other regions may not be governed by a central ethics code. The company also has internal procedures for supplier due diligence, requiring formal processes and executive or board approval for new and significant recurring supplier contracts.
