Social Value & Carbon Reduction

RODMENA LIMITED (company no. 16472788) · Owner: Farshid Ashouri, Director · Adopted: 19 يوليو 2026 · Reviewed at least annually

Proportionate and honest. We are a micro-business. Rather than publish grand claims we cannot evidence, this page lists a small number of commitments we actually keep, and states plainly where measurement is still being established.

Community connectivity: America House Fast Internet

America House is a residential building of 22 flats in London SE1. Its old telephone lines could not provide adequate broadband.

RODMENA LIMITED operates a shared internet service for the whole building as part of our social value commitments, not as a profit line. We run it on a cost-recovery basis, bear the equipment costs ourselves, offer flexible payment to residents in financial difficulty, and look after every connected flat directly, including support and fault handling.

20 of 22 households use the service; 19 have full service today.
Each flat gets up to 650 Mbps over a 1 Gbps symmetric leased line (iDNET over Openreach) with managed failover.
Residents are invoiced formally, and the service is managed through RODMENA's own billing and operations platform.

More about the service: americahouse.net. Evidence available on request: info@rodmena.co.uk.

Social value commitments

Open source: we build and maintain open-source software (Highway DSL and other tools). The tools we publish under the Apache-2.0 and MIT licences can be used freely by anyone, including UK public bodies. This is our largest ongoing contribution and it is verifiable at github.com/rodmena-limited, where each repository states its own licence.
Skills: engagements include genuine knowledge transfer — training the customer's engineers to run their systems without us.
UK economy: we are UK-based, UK-taxed and hire and subcontract in the UK when we grow.
Fair work: anyone engaged by the company works freely, on fair terms, with prompt payment of suppliers and subcontractors. A supplier or subcontractor with a payment query can contact payments@rodmena.co.uk.
Accessibility: our public web presence meets WCAG 2.2 AA (see the accessibility statement).

Carbon Reduction Plan

Structured with reference to PPN 006 (Carbon Reduction Plans) and proportionate to a micro-business with no premises open to the public, no fleet and no manufacturing.

Commitment to Net Zero

RODMENA LIMITED is committed to achieving net-zero emissions for its own operations by 2050 or sooner.

Baseline emissions

Status: being measured. The company was incorporated in مايو 2025; our first emissions baseline (Scope 1, Scope 2 and relevant Scope 3 categories) is being established for our first full year of operation and will be published here with its methodology. We will not publish estimated figures as if they were measurements. As a remote-first software company we have no Scope 1 sources; our footprint is dominated by purchased electricity, cloud/hosting services and limited business travel.

Reduction measures already in place

Remote-first working — no commuting or office energy footprint
Software architecture that minimises server count per workload (fewer moving parts, less energy)
Preference for hosting providers with credible renewable-energy commitments
Rail-first travel policy within Great Britain; video-first by default
Hardware kept in service long-term, then reused or WEEE-recycled

Next steps

Publish the measured baseline and methodology for our first full operating year
Set reduction targets against that baseline
Report progress here annually
