September 7, 2023

Our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) company policy refers to our responsibility toward our environment. Our company’s existence is not lonely. It's part of a bigger system of people, values, other organizations and nature. The social responsibility of a business is  to give back to the world just as it gives to us.

What is corporate social responsibility?

Our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) company policy outlines our efforts to give back to the world as it gives to us.

Scope

This policy applies to our company and its subsidiaries. It may also refer to suppliers and partners.

Policy elements

We want to be a responsible business that meets the highest standards of ethics and professionalism.

Our company’s social responsibility falls under two categories: compliance and proactiveness. Compliance refers to our company’s commitment to legality and willingness to observe community values. Proactiveness is every initiative to promote human rights, help communities and protect our natural environment.

Compliance

Legality

Our company will:

  • Respect the law
  • Honor its internal policies
  • Ensure that all its business operations are legitimate
  • Keep every partnership and collaboration open and transparent

Business ethics

We'll always conduct business with integrity and respect to human rights. We'll promote:

  • Safety and health
  • Respect toward the customer
  • Anti-bribery and anti-corruption practices

Protecting the environment

Our company recognizes the need to protect the natural environment. Keeping our environment clean and unpolluted is a benefit to all. We'll always follow best practices when disposing garbage.

Protecting people

We'll ensure that we:

  • Don't risk the health and safety of our employees and community.
  • Avoid harming the lives of local and indigenous people.
  • Support diversity and inclusion.

Human rights

Our company is dedicated to protecting human rights. We are a committed equal opportunity employer and will abide by all fair labor practices. We’ll ensure that our activities and those of our partners do not directly or indirectly violate human rights in any country (e.g. forced labor).

Proactiveness

Volunteering

Our company will encourage its employees to volunteer. They can volunteer through programs organized internally or externally. Our company may sponsor volunteering events from other organizations.

Preserving the environment

Apart from legal obligations, our company will proactively protect the environment. Examples of relevant activities include:

  • Recycling of waste
  • Wise usage of energy and water resources
  • Promote using public transportation
  • Order our supplies locally where possible
  • Taking into account sustainability when buying supplies
  • Using environmentally-friendly products and technologies

Supporting the community

Our company may initiate and support community investment and educational programs. It can provide support to nonprofit organizations or movements to promote cultural and economic development of global and local communities.

Learning

Our company is committed to the United Nations Global Compact. We'll readily act to promote our identity as a socially aware and responsible business. Management must communicate this policy on all levels. Managers are also responsible for resolving any CSR issues.
