A promise by the nation.

The Armed Forces Covenant is a promise from the nation to those who serve. It says we will do all we can to ensure they are treated fairly and not disadvantaged in their day-to-day lives. This includes offering injured servicemen and women  and bereaved families extra support where appropriate.​​

Explora Foundation is proud to receive the Ministry of Defence's 2024 Employer Recognition Scheme Gold Award for providing ongoing support to the Armed Forces Community.

The Covenant

To those who proudly protect our nation, who do so with honor, courage, and commitment, the Armed Forces Covenant is the nation’s commitment to you.
​
It is a pledge that together we acknowledge and understand that those who serve or who have served in the Armed Forces, and their families, should be treated with fairness and respect in the communities, economy and society they serve with their lives.
We, the people, recognise this duty to you who so bravely do yours.

The Ministry of Defence’s Employer Recognition Scheme acknowledges those organisations who actively demonstrate support to the Armed Forces Community.
​

​
Explora Foundation is internationally involved in the design, development and testing of various security technologies for governments, multinational organisations, NGO's and large commercial entities including oil companies.

To receive the Gold Award, Explora Foundation has had to
  • Employ at least one member of the Armed Forces Community.
  • Demonstrate support for our service personnel issues.

Sir Kenneth Olisa OBE, the Lord-Lieutenant of Greater London attended the event as the keynote speaker and awarded the organisations along with representation from the tri-service: AVM Ranald Munro CB CBE TD VR DL (Commandant General of the RAuxAF and Chair of Greater London RFCA), Captain Paul Hill RD RNR (Assistant Head Reserves, UK Strategic Command and Chair of City RFCA) and Lieutenant Colonel Darren Johnston (SO1 Engagement at the London District HQ).
The 2024 Gold ERS Awards showcased the commitment of 24 organisations to supporting the Armed Forces community. These awards are a testament to their dedication to hiring, training, and championing service members and veterans. 
 
Achieving the Gold Award is a significant milestone, symbolising an organisation’s exceptional support and advocacy for the Armed Forces community and veterans’ employment. To be awarded a gold recognition from the Ministry of Defence, organisations must provide 10 extra paid days leave for Reservists, and have supportive HR policies in place for Reservists, veterans, Cadet Force Adult Volunteers and the spouses and partners of those serving in the Armed Forces.
