The Power of Sharing…<br />
The recent global crisis has brought many<br />
challenges. But it has also provided some<br />
important lessons.<br />
It has shown us that we need to take more<br />
control. If financial markets and institutions<br />
continue to dictate the goals of business,<br />
making profit our exclusive concern, then<br />
crisis will be a recurrent reality. Long-term<br />
value comes from seeing financial growth as<br />
part of a bigger picture encompassing society,<br />
humanity and the environment. We also<br />
need far greater transparency. The rise of the<br />
Socially Responsible Investor suggests that<br />
openness is the way forward. I believe we<br />
need to go beyond mere profit to build<br />
a stronger bond of trust between finance,<br />
business and society. This will give us the<br />
freedom and confidence to fully embrace the<br />
challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.<br />
05
… Recognising the connection between<br />
means<br />
I firmly believe that business needs to<br />
be more ‘human’ in how it develops and<br />
markets products and services. A user-centric<br />
revolution is already underway, and <strong>Steria</strong><br />
has been at the forefront of re-thinking the<br />
way technology is accessed and brought<br />
to market. We will take this even further,<br />
developing new ways to put technology<br />
into the hands of users, responding to their<br />
increasing demands for greater flexibility,<br />
responsiveness and control.<br />
I believe we need to be much more creative<br />
in how we respond to the challenges of a<br />
rapidly changing world. For me, creativity is<br />
about challenging existing models when they<br />
have reached their useful limits, responding<br />
to and anticipating the ever-changing needs<br />
of individuals and societies.<br />
06
By responding to these challenges, needs and<br />
opportunities effectively we realise the power<br />
of sharing. The energy of creative collaboration<br />
that recognises the connection between<br />
business, individuals and society, that we can<br />
harness to the ultimate benefit of all. Sharing<br />
has shaped <strong>Steria</strong>. It is at the heart of our<br />
culture (with employee shareholding defining<br />
our corporate governance); and in the way we<br />
work closely with our clients, taking on their<br />
challenges, so they can get closer to their own<br />
customers in turn.<br />
business, individuals and society… for the benefit of all.<br />

Collaborative creativity<br />
Innovation is less about ideas<br />
than their practical application,<br />
responding to business needs<br />
shaped by real-world challenges.<br />
Creativity is often found in<br />
deploying new ways of working<br />
with clients and partners to<br />
achieve common goals. <strong>Steria</strong>’s<br />
groundbreaking work in Aviation<br />
demonstrates powerfully the<br />
benefits of creative collaboration<br />
at work.<br />

The skies above us might already appear to be at full traffic capacity.<br />
Yet this is predicted to double by 2020. Accommodating this safely and<br />
efficiently alongside rising oil prices, security threats and environmental<br />
pressures is the challenge <strong>Steria</strong> is helping to tackle as part of the<br />
‘GAIA Virtual Sky‘ project. GAIA will help deliver the objectives of the<br />
Single European Sky ATM (Air Transport Management) Research<br />
programme. SESAR is a European Commission initiative, dedicated to<br />
creating the world’s most efficient air transport infrastructure. One that<br />
can handle double current capacity; improve safety by a factor of 10;<br />
reduce the environmental impact of each flight by 10%; and halve Air<br />
Transport Management costs.<br />
This is where GAIA comes in. This landmark in collaborative creativity<br />
involved a number of partners including: Airbus; THALES; l’Ecole<br />
Nationale de l’Aviation Civile (ENAC); DGAC (the French Civil Aviation<br />
Authority)*, working together to help reorganise airspace through<br />
innovative simulation networking. ‘GAIA Virtual Sky’ is a flexible<br />
plug-and-play interface allowing the simulators of multiple partners<br />
(even competitors) to ‘talk’ to each other through a secure but highly<br />
realistic virtual network. It combines <strong>Steria</strong>’s expertise in systems<br />
integration and interoperability with the concept behind social<br />
networking and gaming. The ‘players‘ in the Virtual Sky are sharing<br />
invaluable experience of operating simulated cockpits and control<br />
towers collectively. Where once they worked in isolation, they now<br />
recreate the realities of a crowded airspace, with multiple human<br />
players and conditions in real-time operation. The more players<br />
participating, the more realistic the experience, the more able airports,<br />
aircraft, aircraft operators and managers will be prepared for the<br />
challenges of the future.<br />
The interface needed to work with multiple partners’ existing IT<br />
strategies and infrastructures, and provide complete security to allow<br />
competitors to collaborate. By working collaboratively we helped<br />
bring about a network that achieved economies, pooled knowledge,<br />
and tackled common challenges without compromising commercial<br />
sensitivities. This integrating of systems and people displays ‘coopetition’<br />
(competitive cooperation) at its best, enabling knowledge and efficiencies<br />
to be shared to bring real business advantages to all players.<br />
‘GAIA Virtual Sky’ is now operational, with new partners joining the<br />
network all the time. Where next? The sky is not the limit for the GAIA<br />
model. <strong>Steria</strong> is already scoping out its translation to the management<br />
of Norwegian maritime traffic, with clear applications for other<br />
transport networks. The flexible, secure and adaptable interface and<br />
‘cooptive’ approach can surely help other industries gain commercial<br />
advantage by embracing the power of sharing.<br />
*The ‘GAIA Virtual Sky’ project is realised within the Aerospace Valley competitiveness cluster<br />
and involves specialised SMEs such as Oktal, Cgx Aero InSys, Intespace and Alticode.
to rise to real-world challenges…<br />

The need to find more sustainable<br />
ways of working is a challenge<br />
affecting everyone, but it can<br />
benefit every organisation if<br />
environmental impact is lessened<br />
through more efficient business<br />
operations. Business efficiency is<br />
good news for everyone: you, your<br />
shareholders, your customers and<br />
the whole community.<br />
<strong>Steria</strong>’s work for the Northern Ireland Civil Service shows how<br />
streamlining processes, saving wastage, and optimising public finances<br />
can align sustainability, community and business objectives.<br />
The Northern Ireland Civil Service (NICS), is undergoing widespread<br />
reform, aiming to create greater efficiencies to better serve its citizens.<br />
A key pillar of this agenda is the move to a paperless office environment.<br />
This will make a significant difference, as 2.2 million documents were<br />
previously produced each year. This objective affects some 18,000 civil<br />
servants across 400 governmental buildings, requiring the largest<br />
document and records management installation in northern Europe.<br />
This migration from a paper-based to an Electronic and Document<br />
Records Management (EDRM) regime had to be achieved from scratch,<br />
as there was no prior EDRM experience in this environment, and no<br />
standardisation across 11 geographically dispersed and culturally<br />
diverse departments. A challenge <strong>Steria</strong> accomplished in just<br />
14 months from commission to completion.<br />
The task drew on <strong>Steria</strong>’s seasoned expertise and proven methodologies<br />
in deploying EDRM solutions. The need for absolute security for the<br />
system was paramount, given the sensitivity of many of the documents<br />
deriving from an administration with a troubled political history.<br />
Secure, but also immediately accessible and robust. A primary and<br />
secondary data centre, supported by 100s of new servers ensured<br />
continuity of service with water-tight security.<br />
But the challenge involved instilling understanding, and coordinating<br />
people, as much as infrastructure and protocols. Sharing knowledge<br />
and a common vision, as well as systems and procedures. And changing<br />
a collective mindset as well as transforming an office environment.<br />
Accomplishing all this was critical to the success of the project, and<br />
was achieved by a comprehensive training programme rolled-out in<br />
parallel with the process of digitisating and integration. This was a<br />
huge logistics endeavour, given the geographical dispersal of offices,<br />
and involved training 3,000 users a month on a roll-out road-show.<br />
Governance and teamwork were also vital to success, with an<br />
executive comprising the highest-level civil service and supplier<br />
representation to ensure decisions were made, and milestones were<br />
met. Sir John Semple, former Head of NICS and Chairman of the<br />
Records NI Governance Committee, comments: “<strong>Steria</strong> has delivered<br />
a significant Change Programme that in my experience has been an<br />
overwhelming success. The flexibility, professionalism and ‘can-do<br />
attitude’ are attributes I would encourage any potential partner<br />
to display whilst working on any major government project.”<br />

Geography France<br />
Keeping pace with relentless market demands, but without risking<br />
product or service failure is the challenge <strong>Steria</strong> is tackling for<br />
French telecoms giant SFR, through our robust and responsive<br />
testing services.<br />
In the fast-moving, highly competitive world of telecommunications,<br />
customer loyalty depends on staying in tune with their lifestyles and<br />
responsive to their demands. You’re only as good as your last product<br />
or marketing initiative, requiring first-to-market innovation backed<br />
up by absolute assurance of delivery. Rigorous testing is vital to any<br />
marketing cycle, requiring deep sector knowledge, robust systems<br />
and flexible resourcing.<br />
That’s what SFR (France’s second telecoms operator) has come to<br />
expect and demand from <strong>Steria</strong>, a long-term partner who helps them<br />
maintain market share in an aggressively competitive field. Since<br />
2005 our comprehensive validation functions have been providing<br />
the critical interface between SFR’s services and its 20.4 million mobile<br />
customers, a green light to market relying on a shared commitment<br />
to responsiveness and results. Results are our responsibility and<br />
reputation with SFR, working closely with its ‘end-to-end validation‘<br />
unit (DIVB), based at Courbevoie near Paris to create and maintain<br />
a copy of its network. This allows us to replicate user demands across<br />
all platforms. From SMS to voice, data, games and customer service,<br />
the SFR brand experience relies on the supplier delivering what it<br />
promises through its marketing, and <strong>Steria</strong>’s validation systems<br />
responding to all its demands.<br />

Intelligent cost management<br />

often depends on establishing<br />
mutual trust and a close-working<br />
commitment to achieving<br />
common goals.<br />
Business sector Health care<br />
Expertise Business Process<br />
Outsourcing<br />
Geography UK<br />
Such a commitment characterises <strong>Steria</strong>’s long-standing relationship<br />
with the UK National Health Service. Managing costs is a key priority<br />
of any efficient business; it can literally be a life saver when your<br />
business is health care and the benefits translate directly into improving<br />
critically needed health care services.<br />
The UK National Health Service is the world’s largest publicly-funded<br />
health service, divided into more than 400 separate health trusts, all<br />
requiring comprehensive back office support to deliver essential health<br />
services. <strong>Steria</strong> has entered into an innovative partnership with the UK<br />
Department of Health, delivering shared services for over 130 NHS<br />
trusts so far, enabling significant operational efficiencies in areas such<br />
as back office and Finance and Accounting services like managing the<br />
payment of wages for 200,000 NHS employees, managing €36 billion<br />
of NHS spend.<br />
NHS Shared Business Services employs over 1,400 people, processing<br />
more than 4.5 million transactions annually and aiming to achieve<br />
savings of between 20% and 40% for NHS trusts.<br />
The 50:50 joint venture between <strong>Steria</strong> and the Department of Health has<br />
been in place since 2005, and NHS Shared Business Services (NHS SBS)<br />
is now the market leader in business support services for the NHS.<br />
Being the largest platform in Europe for shared services, it shows how<br />
to achieve economies of scale whilst demonstrating world-class service<br />
excellence. In June 2010 the joint venture presented a €1.20 million<br />
royalties cheque to the Department of Health; this is in addition to the<br />
operational efficiencies and substantial cost savings already achieved<br />
by existing NHS SBS clients.<br />
This is a true partnership between <strong>Steria</strong> and the NHS to deliver real value<br />
under challenging conditions. We share more than services by working<br />
together. By listening and learning, <strong>Steria</strong> designed effective ways of<br />
operating and achieving continuous improvement, whether transferring<br />
NHS employees to NHS SBS in 2005 or establishing Client User Forums<br />
and special Working Parties to meet the changing needs of financial<br />
management in the NHS. Peter Coates CBE, Commercial Director, Department<br />
of Health observes: “If someone can deliver management information,<br />
professional business intelligence and better reporting at the right price,<br />
then it makes commercial sense to use them… We’ve had a hugely positive<br />
experience and our model is now 50% onshore / 50% offshore, operating<br />
as one organisation… It’s a true business partnership built on trust.”<br />
More than 27 million people in England currently have NHS healthcare<br />
delivered by NHS SBS clients. The partnership is targeted to double by<br />
2014, and looks set to free up to €275 million of savings over a 10 year<br />
period. This is the equivalent of 12,500 extra nurses, clearly demonstrating<br />
the real-world advantages of collaborative cost management innovation.<br />
Sharing services means improving health care, as well as making cost<br />
and efficiency savings.

The need for more robust<br />
corporate governance policies is<br />
a clear message to emerge from<br />
the financial crisis, with no sector<br />
under more intense scrutiny<br />
than financial services. Meeting<br />
compliance demands alone requires<br />
a wholesale re-thinking of systems<br />
and policies; doing this globally,<br />
in accord with diverse jurisdictions<br />
within a tight timeframe sets a<br />
real challenge. <strong>Steria</strong> helped a<br />
leading global investment bank<br />
achieve just this.<br />
Business sector Financial services<br />
Expertise Consulting<br />
Geography Europe wide<br />
Our client is a leader across Europe, and growing steadily in North<br />
America, Asia and key emerging markets. With 80,000 employees<br />
and about 2,000 branches in 70 countries, our client seeks to offer<br />
unparalleled financial services throughout the world.<br />
But strength and size come with responsibilities, one of which is<br />
ensuring its corporate governance policies fulfil, if not surpass,<br />
constantly emerging compliance regulations. One area firmly in the<br />
spotlight is establishing robust Anti Money Laundering measures,<br />
which need to meet complex stipulations across multiple jurisdictions,<br />
and business functions. That’s where <strong>Steria</strong> comes in.<br />
We were given the chance to start this project from scratch, working<br />
closely with key stakeholders to develop an approach that was<br />
consensual and feasible for all concerned. This meant translating a<br />
universal compliance imperative to the specific needs of five business<br />
divisions and numerous local jurisdictions. A close-working, highly<br />
consultative approach was essential to ensure this. Aligning the sales<br />
executives and infrastructure functions early on towards the same<br />
objectives helped guarantee a smooth implementation of our<br />
proposed solution.<br />
Meeting compliance regulation was one issue, a further consideration<br />
is how changes and policies impact on clients, so there was a need<br />
to balance legal obligations with customer relationships. So <strong>Steria</strong>’s<br />
consultants undertook an impact analysis, assessing the implications<br />
of policies for the bank’s customers. This allowed us to confidently<br />
develop a globally applicable blueprint serving as a minimum standard<br />
document. <strong>Steria</strong> designed and managed the whole programme,<br />
delivering a global but flexible solution that surpassed expectations<br />
for a complex project of this kind.<br />
The client’s internal Programme Manager for the project, a Managing<br />
Director, identified the skills mix of the <strong>Steria</strong> team as a real contributor<br />
to the success of the project. “On the one side, the subject matter<br />
experts contributed a deep understanding of the requirements, and<br />
the need for a business-division-specific interpretation to minimise any<br />
negative impact on the respective business models. On the other side,<br />
consultants with a strong expertise in strategic management assured<br />
an efficient set up and structuring of the initiative, comprising interface<br />
management to highest management in all business divisions, as well<br />
as the main infrastructure functions.”<br />
Both internal audits and external examinations were concluded with no<br />
findings at all: an extraordinary achievement for such a complex global<br />
and multi-divisional set up.<br />

<strong>Steria</strong> are seasoned experts in payment<br />
solutions for banking, with Stecard at the<br />
forefront of chip technology for processing<br />
multiple transactions. Yet electronic payment<br />
processing on motorways has traditionally<br />
relied on the swiping of magnetic strips for<br />
authentication purposes. However, EMV<br />
standards are changing this, obliging<br />
motorway management to adopt smart<br />
card chip methods for toll transactions.<br />
<strong>Steria</strong> was the natural choice to help sanef,<br />
who manage a major part of the French<br />
motorway network, meet this challenge whilst<br />
ensuring continuity of service. sanef needed<br />
an open-ended solution, capable of managing<br />
high-volume secure banking flows without<br />

its Systems Integration and Application<br />
Management expertise to help Spanish<br />
regional Departments of Health serve their<br />
citizens more effectively.<br />
The Department of Health for the Valenciana<br />
region (Consellería de Sanitat de la Generalitat<br />
Valenciana), is responsible for a population of<br />
over 5 million. It is relying on <strong>Steria</strong> to evolve<br />
its Population Information System, used to<br />
manage its records of public health service<br />
users and model related requirements, and<br />
so improve the planning and allocation of<br />
resources within the administration. The new<br />
system will allow the Department to keep<br />
up with demographic changes, adapt to<br />
EU legislative changes, and better serve its<br />
citizens, through the more accurate allocation<br />
of healthcare demand with available resources<br />
in the region.<br />
Statsbygg, the public construction and<br />
property management body for Norway has<br />
chosen <strong>Steria</strong> to provide a new information<br />
management system for the construction<br />
projects and properties under its care.<br />
The main need is to improve internal and<br />
external collaboration, access to, control and<br />
sharing of information about construction<br />
projects, through a common user-oriented<br />
portal. This will enable greater cooperation<br />
between all agents through the life cycle<br />
of projects, from architectural inception<br />
to completion and management. It will be<br />
highly user-orientated, supporting diverse<br />
competencies and document formats:<br />
including 3D architectural drawings,<br />
Geo/map software, and MS Word documents.<br />
These will be seamlessly integrated through<br />
the portal and ECM solution based on<br />
Microsoft SharePoint 2010 and<br />
EMC Documentum (enterprise content<br />
management). The solution will also improve<br />
cooperation between tenants, management<br />
and suppliers for more than 2,300 buildings<br />
that Statsbygg currently manages.<br />
<strong>Steria</strong> are experts in mobile application,<br />
with specialist expertise in developing Field<br />
Service Management solutions to enhance<br />
the mobility of essential operations. We are<br />
now deploying this to transform the working<br />
practices and customer service of a major<br />
electricity supplier. The supplier, responsible<br />
for most of metropolitan France, sought to<br />
completely overhaul all its processes for<br />
emergency repairs to its infrastructure, and<br />
chose <strong>Steria</strong> to develop the systems and tools<br />
to make this happen. This involves equipping<br />
its 6,000 field force technicians with mobile<br />
communication tools that optimise their<br />
efficiency, manage the real-time flow of<br />
information. The PDAs combine geographical<br />
services to optimise journeys; synchronise and<br />
manage data-flow securely; and coordinate<br />
field force resourcing for more efficient<br />
servicing. This industrial integrated system<br />
keeps the field force in the field, allowing<br />
them to deal with orders and emergencies<br />
more quickly and efficiently.<br />
24
Our collaborative ethos ensures the sharing<br />
of expertise occurs across our geographies<br />
as well as service and sector specialisms.<br />
Holistic solutions to meet complex challenges.<br />
We can only break down silos, if we think<br />
and work holistically ourselves.<br />
<strong>Steria</strong> Norway are acknowledged leaders<br />
in biometric technology, providing state-ofthe-art<br />
solutions to meet the challenges of<br />
homeland security to control access and<br />
secure borders. Crime and terrorism, of<br />
course, thrive by crossing national boundaries;<br />
so the technology to combat these threats<br />
has to take a similarly joined-up approach.<br />
<strong>Steria</strong>’s Norwegian Centre of Biometric<br />
Excellence is helping this happen, sharing<br />
its two decades of experience to enable<br />
<strong>Steria</strong> design and deliver integrated biometric<br />
systems to over 25 European administrations.<br />
<strong>Steria</strong>Biometrics suite of solutions include<br />
fingerprint and facial recognition technology<br />
and software, in addition to secure<br />
transmission of data.<br />

Performance invariably results from<br />
improving efficiency; and efficiency<br />
often derives from the more intelligent<br />
management of essential resources:<br />
technology, processes and people.<br />
At <strong>Steria</strong> we create and coordinate<br />
systems, but we also constantly<br />
design new ways of supporting<br />
existing functions to enable businesses<br />
to do what they are good at, much<br />
more efficiently.<br />
<strong>Steria</strong> are established experts in Business<br />
Process Outsourcing, covering back-office<br />
capacity in payment and accounting, as well<br />
as front-office resourcing for essential<br />
customer-facing services. Our partnership<br />
with a UK Police Authority combines both,<br />
handling a range of functions to improve<br />
front-line police presence.<br />
Cleveland Police Authority, which serves<br />
560,000 citizens in the North East of England,<br />
has entered into a groundbreaking<br />
partnership with <strong>Steria</strong>. The landmark shared<br />
services deal will support Cleveland Police in<br />
delivering its vision of Putting People First and<br />
provides a transformation model for other UK<br />
authorities and forces.<br />
<strong>Steria</strong> is working with the force and the<br />
authority to deliver key services, including<br />
call handling and preparation of criminal<br />
case files, as well as being responsible for<br />
finance, HR, payroll, commissioning and<br />
fleet management. For the Authority, the<br />
partnership will deliver €60 million in cashable<br />
savings; and for the citizens of Cleveland it<br />
means improved community policing services<br />
as well as potential employment opportunities<br />
at a new state-of-the-art shared services centre.<br />
Businesses are increasingly demanding<br />
IT infrastructure resourcing that is not only<br />
robust, reliable and value for money, but<br />
has the flexibility to scale up and down<br />
in response to fluctuating needs. <strong>Steria</strong>’s<br />
innovative Infrastructure on Command<br />
product achieves exactly this, bringing the<br />
benefits of ‘cloud computing’ down to earth<br />
and in the hands of users. This pioneering<br />
partnership with Cisco systems, relies on our<br />
Global Delivery Model (combining onshore,<br />
offshore and nearshore), to provide unrivalled<br />
flexibility of servicing. On Command can<br />
provide bespoke private Cloud implementation<br />
through to public and hybrid Cloud offerings<br />
to enable the best value and efficiency for<br />
all needs and policies.<br />

Where to find the <strong>Steria</strong> teams<br />
Our organisation comprises many different<br />
cultures across the world. Our diversity is also our<br />
strength, as each individual component brings an<br />
extra dimension to the way we work as a whole.<br />
But our success and cohesion as a company<br />
and a culture derives from a ‘One <strong>Steria</strong>’ outlook<br />
and the sharing of common values.<br />

What makes us different<br />
What we do, and the way we do things<br />
rests fundamentally on who we are:<br />
a growing community of talented<br />
individuals, committed to achieving<br />
great things together.<br />
At <strong>Steria</strong> we thrive on collaboration: with our<br />
clients, first and foremost, working as one<br />
team to achieve results; but also with each<br />
other, sharing a wealth of experience and<br />
insight that reflects our founding values:<br />
Simplicity, Openness and Respect.<br />
Ultimately <strong>Steria</strong> is about people not<br />
technology, maintaining the ‘human touch’<br />
in everything we do. We pride ourselves on<br />
being the very human face of IT and business<br />
services; championing the belief that<br />
technology should never be an end in itself,<br />
but at the service of us all. Whilst what we<br />
do is often behind the scenes, the benefits<br />
it brings are tangible and decisive for<br />
individuals, society and the wider world.<br />
Sharing is central to our corporate governance<br />
model, unique for a listed company. To this<br />
day, <strong>Steria</strong>’s main shareholders are its<br />
employees, who hold 20% of the capital,<br />
allowing them a significant say in the strategic<br />
direction of the Company. This model fosters<br />
a culture of collective entrepreneurialism that<br />
drives our success; allowing us to grow,<br />
diversify and succeed as a company whilst<br />
remaining true to our founding values.<br />
Sharing our values…<br />
28
The difference we make<br />
<strong>Steria</strong> was founded with the vision to combine business<br />
performance with social values. <strong>Steria</strong> has fostered a culture<br />
of ethical entrepreneurialism ever since. Shareholder value<br />
and stakeholder responsibility remain the dual drivers of<br />
our enterprise, supported by sustainability strategy dedicated<br />
to our making a positive impact in everything we do.<br />
In our marketplace<br />
<strong>Steria</strong> is a member of the United Nations<br />
Global Compact, which informs our stringent<br />
code of ethics subscribed to by every senior<br />
manager. This offers guidance to ensure<br />
business decisions safeguard human<br />
rights, combat corruption and protect the<br />
environment. We make more sustainable<br />
operations possible for our clients, delivering<br />
solutions for driving efficiencies which lessen<br />
environmental impact. Our own commitment<br />
to ethical and sustainable business practice<br />
extends to our purchasing policy, established<br />
in a Charter.<br />
In our workplace<br />
Our employees’ commitment and development<br />
are closely linked to the founding values they<br />
share: Simplicity, Respect, Openness, Creativity<br />
and Independence. We are committed to<br />
developing our people through training and<br />
development, their personal wellbeing and<br />
health and safety in the workplace. Diversity<br />
and equal opportunity are actively promoted<br />
via a broad range of policies and support<br />
throughout our Group. And, as major<br />
shareholders, our employee’s interests<br />
are closely aligned with the success of<br />
the company.<br />
In our communities<br />
At <strong>Steria</strong> we are reaching out to our<br />
community partners to improve the lives<br />
and prospects of many; promoting access<br />
to education, IT resources and employment<br />
in India, Cambodia and Europe. Our clients<br />
often partner with us on these projects,<br />
sharing the inspiration and empowerment<br />
we can achieve together.<br />
For the environment<br />
We are integrating green thinking, and<br />
implementing green action throughout <strong>Steria</strong>.<br />
This has resulted in a carbon offset programme,<br />
as well as a partnership with leading carbon<br />
management experts to help us reduce our<br />
carbon footprint significantly. We have<br />
adopted the Global Reporting Initiative<br />
guidelines to frame environmental data,<br />
and have achieved ISO 14001 certification<br />
in seven of our countries, with a commitment<br />
to becoming fully certified in 2011.<br />
Our key sustainability<br />
achievements and accolades<br />
In the last two years alone we<br />

Achieving 75.68% (among the best scores)<br />
in the Gaïa sustainability index for companies<br />

Sharing our vision
The ultimate test of innovation is its<br />
impact: on individuals, communities and<br />
the environment. Ensuring this impact is<br />
positive is at the heart of our vision for<br />
what technology should and can achieve,<br />
determining how we help our clients<br />
improve their own customers’ lives.<br />
for the future…<br />
31
At <strong>Steria</strong> we are constantly devising<br />
more efficient, practical, profitable,<br />
safer, greener, faster ways of doing<br />
things. The silent power behind the<br />
systems that make the modern world<br />
turn. The more complex the world<br />
becomes, the greater the need for<br />
technology to keep things simple<br />
and in touch with human needs.<br />
<strong>Steria</strong>’s systems enable real-time data-flow to help the<br />
traffic run smoothly in some of the world’s busiest cities;<br />
airport taxis coordinate with air traffic; and logistics<br />
operations serve customers more efficiently.<br />
Mobile<br />
Healthy<br />
Secure<br />
Productive<br />
<strong>Steria</strong>’s STORM emergency management system has been<br />
adopted by a number of European countries, making<br />
services more responsive to the critical needs of citizens.<br />
32<br />
By designing and running an extranet for experts to share<br />
data about diseases across Europe, we help combat the<br />
epidemics that threaten populations.
The basics that remain essential to our<br />
existence: to feed, clothe and shelter ourselves<br />
in safety, health and comfort. With food<br />
and garments in the shops when we need<br />
them, and the power to cook our food and<br />
keep ourselves warm, there at our command<br />
instantaneously. The ability to protect<br />
ourselves from the epidemics that continue<br />
to haunt our increasingly sanitised lives.<br />
The simple things we tend to take for<br />
granted, but that make a real difference to<br />
the quality of our lives every day. That our<br />
patient records are up to date and accessible<br />
to the professionals who need them to care<br />
for us. That emergency services can respond<br />
to our urgent needs accurately and efficiently.<br />
That all sorts of ‘paperwork’ and payments<br />
can be dealt with online at a time that suits<br />
us. That our very identities are protected by<br />
the banks and institutions that manage our<br />
money. Even that the fast food we order<br />
can arrive at our doors piping hot!<br />
We now expect to remain in touch where<br />
ever we are in the world, and that we can<br />
retain our phone numbers when we change<br />
our providers. We demand greater mobility,<br />
and rely on those who transport us to<br />
get us there smoothly, securely and with<br />
reduced environmental cost. We want to<br />
plan our journeys with real-time information<br />
on traffic conditions; and expect to move<br />
freely and securely across geographical<br />
borders (knowing that those who would<br />
threaten that security cannot).<br />
<strong>Steria</strong> helps to make these things happen.<br />
We are committed to making a world where<br />
the ambitions of business and our shared<br />
responsibility to the planet are not only<br />
aligned, but clearly pursuing the same<br />
agenda. Not satisfied with living green<br />
ourselves, we want to enable our clients<br />
to become greener too – through helping<br />
large corporates control their energy<br />
consumption, through helping public bodies<br />
find smarter ways of storing their information,<br />
through providing state-of-the-art shared<br />
data centres for several clients, enabling<br />
them to benefit from a virtualised environment.<br />
Connected<br />
<strong>Steria</strong> developed and run the systems to allow Portability<br />
of mobile numbers across different providers. Ensuring<br />
the various systems ‘speak to’ means that customers<br />
can too.<br />
Sustainable<br />
<strong>Steria</strong>’s Single Sign On solution for a major company,<br />
radically reduces the expense and time wasted on over<br />
100,000 different passwords used by its employees.<br />
<strong>Steria</strong> is helping numerous local governments pioneer<br />
best practice sustainability, better serving citizens and<br />
helping the environment through greater efficiencies.<br />

Behind the scenes, every day,<br />
<strong>Steria</strong> is hard at work, looking<br />
after the clients who look after<br />
their citizens and customers.<br />
Helping to build a future which<br />
we all want to share.<br />
