Tech Observer Sustainability Policy

Explore our initiatives to reduce our environmental impact and promote social responsibility and leadership.

At Tech Observer, we are taking practical steps to reduce our environmental impact and take responsibility for the future of our people and planet.

We believe that no business can thrive without conscious awareness and practice of sustainability across three key areas – environment, social responsibility, and leadership.

1. Environment

As our business grows, we have the responsibility to play a pivotal role in contributing to a better, more sustainable future. We take action to address the impact we have on the environment. And we commit to stay informed and be proactive in saving the environment. As part of this pledge, we committed to fully carbon-neutral offices. We achieved this milestone at the end of 2022 and are staying UpToDate year over year.

We continue to reduce our carbon footprint by:

• Switching to renewable energy in all our offices.
• Buying from sustainable/carbon-neutral suppliers and vendors – we use energy-efficient appliances and recycled office supplies
• Continuing our post-pandemic support for staff to work from home.
• Implementing new initiatives for commuting, encouraging only necessary business travel, and rental transportation as needed.

2. Social responsibility

A society with equal opportunities is ready for the future. We commit to creating “opportunities for all,” in line with our purely merit-based diversity, equity, and inclusion policy and company values. A healthy work/life balance is a prerequisite for happiness, and we’re working to increase happiness throughout our operations. To do this, we are establishing a standard for measuring and enhancing work happiness. We offer and contribute to our best-bargained health plan for our employees and/or their families. We provide dental and vision plans at a very affordable cost. And we encourage employees to save through our long-term savings plan.

Alongside this, we are:

• Working to add value to communities.
• Removing barriers to the labor market, reducing inequalities in getting a job, and helping people who need our support.
• Championing mental and physical wellbeing at work.

3. Leadership

We commit to safeguarding human rights and dignity across our organization.

Nobody should feel unsafe or unwelcome at work. We want to uphold the rights of everyone in our organization and everyone we work with to a healthy, happy, prosperous life. Our challenge is to continue raising our existing standards and to ensure that our standards are upheld along the supply chain.

We do this by:

• Working with our clients to remove unsafe or unfair policies and procedures of governance.
• Conducting regular, transparent due diligence to ensure that we are meeting our promises.

Conducting regular, transparent due diligence to ensure that no service in which we are involved is tainted with abuse
