Contribution to Society

Our aim is to promote smarter working and increase efficiency by promoting the benefits of VoIP communications and related products and services in the markets within which we operate.

Our quality management system ensures we understand and meet our clients’ needs and as a result we become central to our clients’ communications and, in turn, we also become an integral part of the societies we join. So it is important to us that we do all we can to operate responsibly in all aspects of our operations. We believe that there is a shared benefit between the local community and 500: our products and services positively affect the lives of those who make use them.

In addition, our company objectives, practices and policies define how we create value for all of our stakeholders whilst respecting our ethical commitment to employees, partners and the local community that we are part of. Many of the employees that make up the 500 team are dynamic and versatile individuals, offering their time outside of working hours to help the local community in a variety of ways.

the2:67project Our engagement with the local community does not end with our clients: we believe it is our responsibility to give additionally to the local community. To this end we make a monthly donation to a local charity, the 2:67project. the2:67project is has been set up to offer advice, support, encouragement, networking, resources and training in all areas of youth and children’s work. Please do take a look at their website and, if you feel like us that young people are often marginalized and so could benefit from a positive influence, perhaps you too might consider supporting them in some way.

ReachOut Plus We also endorse ReachOut Plus. They are a growing and exciting charity that seeks to create opportunities that change people’s lives. They work especially with young people and people with disabilities and particular disadvantage. Their aim is to support these special people to overcome exclusion and discrimination, develop their skills, broaden their experience and achieve their God-given potential.
