The foundations of our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Program align with our corporate values: to foster trust with our customers, employees, partners, and shareholders; demonstrate excellence; continually innovate; cultivate the Company as the best place to work; and to ensure our customers are successful. Our Corporate Social Responsibility Program is modeled on the seven social responsibility core subjects of the International Organization for Standardization Guideline for Social Responsibility (ISO 26000). One of the seven social responsibility core subjects in ISO 26000 is Organizational Governance, which depicts how an organization acts and its ability to behave in a socially responsible manner. This core subject guides organizational decision making and influences how individuals within an organization achieve their objectives for governance. In the context of social responsibility, Organizational Governance ensures decisions are not solely weighted on financial gain. In addition to Organizational Governance, the other six social responsibility core subjects are: Community Involvement and Development, the Environment, Human Rights, Labor Practices, Fair Operating Practices, and Consumer Issues. Organizational Governance OpenText has developed a system of processes, practices, and policies which reinforce the guiding principles that employees operate under, including, but not limited to, ethical conduct and workplace safety. Trust is one of our core values, and is vitally important to maintaining our company’s position as a market leader. OpenText continues to nurture and maintain the trust of all of its stakeholders, including the communities in which we operate. Gaining trust starts with understanding the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics Policy and then putting it into practice every day. This policy explains our ethical standards and how we conduct business on behalf of OpenText. Community Involvement and Development OpenText and its employees are dedicated to our roles as responsible corporate citizens. As a global leader in our industry, we have a great responsibility to give back to our communities around the world, whether it be through monetary support or voluntary commitment, to efforts which better our communities. Through numerous initiatives, we support education and innovation for global change, community involvement, children and families, and global disaster relief programs. Our corporate giving programs help ensure we direct our resources where the most impact will be made. The Environment OpenText is committed to protecting the environment and reducing waste. Wherever possible, OpenText promotes the efficient use of energy and natural resources, innovative solutions to reduce emissions or pollutants, and environmentally safe disposal methods.
