Corporate Responsibility

Our vision of the future is a society that is safer, more efficient and more environmentally friendly. Our wireless Internet connectivity solutions deliver a better public transport experience for passengers and we believe this is critical to improving the economic and social quality of life for the population.

Sustainability

We are focused on long-term results rather than short-term gains. We apply this focus to our products and to the relationships we have with our customers.

Our products are built to last and adapt to new technology as it develops. We work with our customers and for our customers, to create lasting and rewarding business relationships that nurture great service and innovation.

Quality

At Icomera, we want to lead by example: not just in what we do, but also in how we do it. Our reputation is in our products and in our service, and we are proud to have a reputation for integrity in our commercial activities. From the company’s outset, we have been dedicated to providing the highest level of customer service, expertise and knowledge, as well as taking responsibility for the products and services we provide at every level.

We have over two decades of experience in the field of transport connectivity and a range of telecommunications carriers, partners, manufacturers, software developers and Internet service providers, who can vouch for our professionalism and dedication to providing an unrivalled level of service. We are also ISO 9001 certified.

 

Environment

As a company, we are very aware of our own impact on the environment and constantly strive to reduce our own carbon footprint, as well as that of our customers and customers’ passengers. We are dedicated to the principles of Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Review and Refresh, and educate our employees to carry out their tasks in the most environmentally-friendly manner.

We design products and services with a focus on safety, energy consumption, life-span extension, and recycling. As an ISO 14001 certified company, we seek to avoid environmentally-sensitive materials and always consider their ultimate decommissioning. The partners we choose to work with also have the same commitment we do, so that together we can all achieve great things for our environment.

 

Legacy

We are working towards a greener, cleaner society by offering better public transport experiences – encouraging more use of public transport. We are also helping to make public transport cleaner by making vehicles more efficient with our eco-driving services.

We are helping to shape overarching themes that surround future government policies by being actively engaged with both local and national policy makers, organisations and innovators – continuing to set the agenda for bigger debates on key topics. Ultimately, we want to leave behind a legacy of innovation, where both people and the planet have benefited from the services we provide.
