We, the undersigned, commit to honour the Armed Forces Covenant and support the Armed Forces Community. We recognise the value Serving Personnel, both Regular and Reservists, Veterans and military families contribute to our business and our country.

The Armed Forces Covenant

An enduring covenant between the people of the United Kingdom, Her Majesty’s Government and all those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces of the Crown and their families

The first duty of Government is the defence of the realm. Our Armed Forces fulfil that responsibility on behalf of the Government, sacrificing some civilian freedoms, facing danger and, sometimes, suffering serious injury or death as a result of their duty. Families also play a vital role in supporting the operational effectiveness of our Armed Forces. In return, the whole nation has a moral obligation to the members of the Naval Service, the Army and the Royal Air Force, together with their families. They deserve our respect and support, and fair treatment.

Those who serve in the Armed Forces, whether Regular or Reserve, those who have served in the past, and their families, should face no disadvantage compared to other citizens in the provision of public and commercial services. Special consideration is appropriate in some cases, especially for those who have given most such as the injured and the bereaved.

This obligation involves the whole of society: it includes voluntary and charitable bodies, private organisations, and the actions of individuals in supporting the Armed Forces. Recognising those who have performed military duty unites the country and demonstrates the value of their contribution. This has no greater expression than in upholding this Covenant.

Section 1: Principles of the Armed Forces Corporate Covenant

1.1 We Noxvayn Ltd will endeavour in our business dealings to uphold the key principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, which are:
- no member of the Armed Forces Community should face disadvantage in the provision of public and commercial services compared to any other citizen;
- and in some circumstances that special treatment may be appropriate especially for the injured or bereaved.
Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment

2.1 Noxvayn Ltd recognises the value serving personnel, reservists, veterans and military families bring to our business. We will seek to uphold the principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, by pledging to the following:

Championing Defence Values: We actively promote our identity as an Armed Forces-supportive organisation to our employees, clients, suppliers, and the wider community. Our commitment to the defence community is embedded in both our internal culture and external partnerships.

Veteran Integration: We prioritise the recruitment of veterans, acknowledging the unique value of military-acquired skills and qualifications. Our hiring processes are tailored to recognise and translate operational experience into relevant roles within our technical, training, and strategic divisions.

Reserve Support: We support employees who serve as Reservists by providing additional paid or unpaid leave for annual training, deployment, and mobilisation. Noxvayn encourages staff participation in the Reserve Forces and facilitates flexible working where appropriate.

Cadet Force Adult Volunteers (CFAVs): We value employees who contribute to the development of future leaders through cadet organisations. Noxvayn offers additional leave for annual camps and leadership training, promotes volunteerism, and supports local cadet units. We also recognise the personal development cadets gain and welcome them into our recruitment pipeline.

National Defence Events: Noxvayn proudly supports national events such as Armed Forces Day, Reserves Day, the Poppy Appeal, and Remembrance Day. These are recognised within our internal communications and public facing platforms.

Charitable Engagement: We support Armed Forces charities through both fundraising and active volunteering. Noxvayn staff are encouraged and empowered to assist with charitable initiatives that benefit the defence community.

Preferential Commercial Terms: Where appropriate, Noxvayn extends commercial offers and service discounts to members of the Armed Forces community as part of our commitment to honour their service.

2.2 We will publicise these commitments through our literature and/or on our website, setting out how we will seek to honour them and inviting feedback from the Service community and our customers on how we are doing.
