Making a positive impact

By engaging in Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) initiatives, we bring people and tech together to contribute to positive changes.

Read about our initiatives

Tech-driven and human-centered

Our sustainability standards promote transparency and responsibility in how we operate in areas like environmental awareness, social responsibility and corporate governance. At Software Mind, these pillars play a crucial role in the way we create value for our stakeholders and communities we belong to.

As a software development company, we’re coding the future, while caring for the present. Our teams are committed to protecting the environment, promoting transparent innovations and empowering local communities, because by taking action now, we can shape a better future for everyone.

Sustainability is an integral part of our culture

ESG goals are fully aligned with Software Mind’s culture. One of our core values is to act with respect, and we apply it not only to our colleagues and in our operations, but also to the environment and our communities.

We act with respect towards our environment
Our organization takes measures to protect the environment and minimize our impact on it. This includes implementing sustainable practices, reducing ecological footprints and following responsible resource management practices.
We act with respect in our communities
Beyond empowering people with our technology expertise, we also get involved on the ground. We regularly engage in socially responsible initiatives, support local communities and address needs and concerns in areas where we operate.
We act with respect at work
In our company, building an inclusive, positive workplace is essential. We promote equal development opportunities, ensure transparency in our business practices and treat our employees, clients and partners fairly and ethically.

A dedicated platform for reporting violations

At Software Mind, we don’t tolerate violations of our business ethics code or compliance standards. Any alleged breach of law, our company’s Code of Ethics or internal procedures is treated seriously and carefully reviewed. Violations can be reported to our dedicated, third-party channel, which is accessible 24/7 and available to our employees, partners, vendors and anyone else who interacts with our organization.

Reports of questionable actions and compliance concerns can be submitted immediately and anonymously via the platforms linked below.

Each region where we operate has a dedicated whistleblower procedure tailored to local legal requirements and applicable protection standards. These procedures define secure reporting channels, confidentiality rules and safeguards against retaliation. You can find out more about them in this section.

Our ESG initiatives

Environment

To mitigate our environmental impact, our offices are equipped with recycling bins and informational posters that promote better waste management. We also use water dispensers in our offices and offer glass jugs in conference rooms to limit the use of disposable plastic bottles. Our company handles electronic waste responsibly by reusing, properly disposing of or donating it to charitable causes. We also organize and take part in eco-friendly initiatives to keep our environment clean.

Our offices promote sustainability through recycling stations, battery drop-off points and filtered water dispensers to reduce single-use plastic.
To boost our energy efficiency, we’re upgrading to energy-saving LED bulbs, and some of our buildings run on 100% renewable electricity.
We track our carbon footprint under the GHG Protocol, focusing on Scope 1 and 2 emissions to better understand and reduce our environmental impact.
Software Minders actively support eco-friendly initiatives and often get involved in local activities. For example, in previous years, we cleaned up the banks of the Vistula River.

Social Responsibility

Establishing a rewarding, inclusive work environment that encourages development is a company priority. Team members can give feedback through our Employee Satisfaction Surveys that help improve working conditions and internal communications. We also offer training programs for the entire organization to grow general and specialized skills. Externally, engaging with local communities enables us to support and empower those in need.

We hosted webinars and activities on Diversity & Inclusion topics, helping Software Minders explore different cultural backgrounds and strengthen workplace relationships.
We ran the Active Challenge to boost engagement and promote a healthy lifestyle and well-being. The initiative also resulted in support for four non-profit organizations.
Our Americas team organized a blood donation drive.
Polish Software Minders cooperate with local senior associations to share their tech knowledge with senior citizens and help them navigate the digital world.
Teams in Poland and Moldova raised funds and collected food and other essentials for local animal shelters.
Software Mind promotes a culture of trust and respect and raises awareness through initiatives such as Code of Ethics training, which is part of the onboarding process.

Governance

Our ESG team has been enhancing our compliance and business ethics standards since it was established in 2023. As an organization, we pay special attention to following ethical principles inour daily work, regardless of our individual positions or departments. Along with our company values that reinforce our transparency and integrity, we act with our clients’ and partners’ interests in mind, taking into account suchmatters as confidentiality, data protection and intellectual property.

In 2023, we introduced a Code of Business Ethics and we strive to keep it up to date and compliant with best practices and industry standards.
We conduct regular employee satisfaction surveys. The survey results help us identify areas for improvement and implement meaningful changes.
We hold quarterly All Hands Meetings, which strengthen internal communication and keep everyone informed about company goals, ongoing initiatives and future plans. All employees are invited to take part and ask questions.
