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.

Highlights:

  1. Our offices in Poland and Moldova offer designated containers for old batteries.
  2. In 2023, we cleaned up a riverbank along the Vistula River.
  3. That year we also moved away from using plastic membership cards in our employee benefit program and turned to electronic cards available on a mobile app.

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.

Highlights:

  1. We organized webinars on breaking biases and talking with people from different cultures.
  2. We ran the “Energy ON” initiative to boost engagement and promote a healthy lifestyle and well-being, which also resulted in support for four non-profit organizations.
  3. Our LATAM team organized a blood donation drive.
  4. Polish Software Minders cooperated with local senior associations to share their tech knowledge with senior citizens and help them navigate the digital world.
  5. We hosted a charity bake sale and an auction of experience vouchers to support the medical treatment of a ward of a local charitable foundation.
  6. Teams in Poland and Moldova raised funds and collected food and other items for local animal shelters.

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.

Highlights:

  1. In 2023, we introduced a Code of Business Ethics for all employees in the organization.
  2. A special module dedicated to the Code has been added to our onboarding process, and we’ve also trained our management team on its principles.
  3. We also launched a monthly newsletter in Poland to keep the local team up to date on important company news, upcoming initiatives and events.
