Our Commitment
Industry and Infrastructure
We build resilient IT infrastructure, helping companies to achieve one of the millennium goals of inclusive-sustainable industrialisation and the promotion of innovation. This also contributes to increasing resource-use efficiency, and to raising the industry’s share of employment and gross domestic product.
Upskilling and Equality
From mentoring young people and inexperienced adults in developing the skills they need to thrive today and in the future, to generating equal opportunities for individuals of any background, at Polestar we enhance UK & EU's workforce skills, knowledge and experience to address some of the biggest challenges of our time. We are committed to supporting the next-gen workforce.
Sustainability
We are engaged with helping industrial companies to track their energy consumption and detect opportunities to reduce waste and accelerate environmental sustainability. On our own side, we believe in process improvement through technology, and the use of cleaner energies. For that reason, we are located at the Innovation Park at the University of Nottingham, one of the greenest campuses in the United Kingdom.
Our Purpose
Polestar Industrial IT recognise that cutting-edge technology gives organisations a competitive advantage. We are passionate about enabling our customers to realise this potential.
