Sustainability

Focused on FuturePositive

At Spirent, we recognise that the world is facing unprecedented challenges and for us to be successful in the long term, we must ensure our business is resilient and sustainable. For Spirent, this means supporting a robust economic, social and environmental system.

Our approach to sustainability

Our sustainability approach includes the management of environmental, social and corporate governance issues. It is focused on identifying and managing the material sustainability risks and opportunities for the Group.

In 2020, we launched a new sustainability strategy which sets out our approach.

Our annual sustainability reports are an important step in updating stakeholders on our sustainability journey.
