Service Provider understands the importance of sustainability and the impacts of our actions or non-actions on the environment, social practices, and governance procedures. Sustainability extends to our entire supply chain, including the products and services we supply, and the human rights and ethics of our company and partners. We are committed to operating in an environmentally responsible manner, encompassing the provision of products and services, the operation of our offices and facilities, the selection of suppliers, and other business activities. We comply with all applicable environmental laws and regulations and adhere to self-directed commitments to sustainable practices and environmental protection.
Guiding Principles
Compliance and Excellence: We comply with and, where practicable, exceed all applicable legislation, regulations, and codes of practice.
Integration of Sustainability: We integrate sustainability considerations into all our business decisions, where practicable.
Commitment to Awareness: We ensure all employees, customers, partners, and suppliers are fully aware of our Sustainability Policy and are committed to implementing and improving it as necessary. We encourage them to adopt sound, sustainable management practices.
Continuous Improvement: We review, report, and continually strive to improve our sustainability performance.
Practical Steps
As a SaaS (Software as a Service) organization, our carbon footprint is limited (e.g., no factories or plants, limited waste, minimal travel), but we still take our environmental impact seriously.
Partnership with Azure: We partner with organizations such as Microsoft Azure, which focuses on sustainability. Their commitment to efficiency and continuous innovation across their global infrastructure helps us contribute to moving towards 100% renewable energy.
Digital Business Model: We leverage technology for the majority of our engagements and outputs. We partner with organizations like DocuSign or DropBox Sign and participate in their efforts to protect the world’s forests.
Travel Alternatives: We avoid traveling where alternatives are available and practical, such as using teleconferencing, video conferencing, or webcams, and scheduling efficient timing of meetings to avoid multiple trips. These options are often more time-efficient while maintaining regular contact with employees, clients, and partners.
Our Commitments
Environmentally Friendly Partnerships: We actively seek business partners who are the most environmentally and workforce-friendly.
Support for Nonprofits: We provide small nonprofit organizations a 50% discount on our Services.
Safe Working Conditions: We ensure that working conditions in all our facilities are safe, workers are treated with respect, and all business operations are environmentally responsible.
