Our approach 

 

We work within the following data and IT governance principles, which aim to optimise use, respect the rights and interests of communities who create data, and promote sustainable approaches to technology use:  

  • FAIR principles (findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable)
  • CARE principles (collective benefit, authority to control, responsibility and ethics)
  • IT Standards for Environmental, Social, and Governance Sustainability

Data security and data protection are built into everything we do.
