Overall Policy

451 Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) company policy refers to our responsibility toward our environment. Our company’s existence is not lonely. It’s part of a bigger system of people, values, other organizations and nature. The social responsibility of a business is to give back to the world just as it gives to us.

Our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) company policy outlines our efforts to give back to the world as it gives to us.

Scope

This policy applies to our company and its subsidiaries.

Policy elements

We want to be a responsible business that meets the highest standards of ethics and professionalism.
Our company’s social responsibility falls under two categories: compliance and proactiveness. Compliance refers to our company’s commitment to legality and willingness to observe community values. Proactiveness is every initiative to promote human rights, help communities and protect our natural environment.

Compliance

Legality is our top management priority, to ensure that all of our activities are fully compliant with the country and the society where they are located.

Our company will:

• Respect the law
• Honor its internal policies
• Ensure that all its business operations are legitimate
• Keep every partnership and collaboration open and transparent
• Business ethics
• We’ll always conduct business with integrity and respect to human rights. We’ll promote:
• Safety and fair dealing
• Respect toward the consumer
• Anti-bribery and anti-corruption practices

Protecting the Environment

451 recognizes the need to protect the natural environment. Keeping our environment clean and unpolluted is a benefit to all. We’ll always follow best practices when disposing of garbage and recycling.

Protecting the Environment

We’ll ensure that we:

• Don’t risk the health and safety of our employees and community.
• Support diversity and inclusion.

Human Rights

Our company is dedicated to protecting human rights. We are a committed equal opportunity employer and will abide by all fair labor practices. We’ll ensure that our activities do not directly or indirectly violate human rights in any country (e.g. forced labor).

Proactiveness

Donations and aid

Our company may preserve a budget to make monetary donations.

These donations will aim to:

• Advance the arts, education and community events.
• Alleviate those in need.

Volunteering

Our company will encourage its employees to volunteer. They can volunteer through programs organized internally or externally. Our company may sponsor volunteering events from other organizations.

Preserving the environment

Apart from legal obligations, our company will proactively protect the environment. Examples of relevant activities include:

• Recycling
• Conserving energy
• Using environmentally-friendly technologies
• Reduce carbon footprint in our daily and business operations

Supporting the community

Our company may initiate and support community investment and educational programs. We provide support and digital know-how to nonprofit organizations or movements to promote cultural and economic development of global and local communities.

Learning

We will actively invest in R&D and employee training and development. We are open to suggestions and listen carefully to ideas from employees and advisors. Our company continuously improves the way it operates.
