Sustainability

For us, sustainable business means considered choices, social responsibility, and the support of equality and health. We have built our corporate responsibility strategy, together with our employees, on health and well-being, climate action, poverty reduction, and the promotion of equality. We systematically promote these entities.

Anders' sustainability themes

We have built our corporate responsibility strategy, together with our employees. We systematically promote these entities.

WELLBEING AND HEALTH

We want to be a responsible employer and support the health and well-being of our employees. By providing physical and cultural benefits, we enable low-threshold leisure activity that has been researched to support overall well-being. We also promote the health of our employees with an annual influenza vaccine and comprehensive health-care services. We also organize sports events for staff and support mental well-being.

CLIMATE ACTION

Our goal is to reduce our company’s CO2 emissions and to explore various compensation options to reduce or offset the emissions from our operations. The IT sector is responsible for 3-4% of all the world’s CO2 emissions, which is why we want to invest in cleaner energy through our operations. We also encourage our employees to use public transportation by providing commuting benefits and explore opportunities to introduce commuting cycling.

NO POVERTY

We want to support low-income families and enable normal childhoods, especially for the youngest members of the family. There is a long way to go before poverty can be eliminated, but even the smallest acts will make a difference. Together with our employees, we will donate to selected charities and participate in fundraising campaigns.

GENDER EQUALITY

We want to support an equal work environment. According to staff surveys, our employees also perceive Anders as a very equal workplace. There has been a lot of talk in recent years about the gender distribution in the IT industry, and efforts are being made to attract women to the software industry. We want to promote women’s employment in the IT sector by supporting coding communities specifically for women and by organizing / enabling trainings, for example for the Mimmit koodaa -community.
