Our Ethical & Corporate Social Responsibility– The Future Belongs to Sustainable and Responsible Companies

All of us at Orange Business firmly believe that technological advancements must inherently benefit people, society, and the planet. Our mission is to create IT services, but regardless of the type of business, we believe that sustainable organizations will be the most successful in the future.

This may seem obvious, but our planet is burdened by unsustainable activities. Therefore, it is all the more important to always consider sustainability and take social responsibility. Ensuring that ethical and socially responsible activities go hand in hand with strategies that proactively address climate change and care for the environment is crucial. Companies that do not support this will eventually be forced to take responsibility and change direction.

How can individuals, companies, and corporations act sustainably? At Orange Business, we will continue to act locally, think globally, set clear goals and criteria, measure our performance, and strive for improvements.

Collaboration and sharing experiences are essential. That’s why Orange Business embraces insights found in international declarations on human rights and laws. The way we conduct our business supports a vision of ethical and responsible digital technology. We will always comply with applicable legislation and act in an ethical, green, and socially responsible manner.

The Norwegian Transparency Act

Our Norwegian subsidiary, Orange Business Digital Norway AS, is subject to the Transparency Act, which came into force on July 1, 2022. As a consequence of this act, we will strengthen our efforts in the coming years to identify and disclose risks of legal violations, both internally and within the supply chain. Reporting on our activities will be included in an annual sustainability report, which will be published in the first half of 2023.

In Sweden, there is no direct equivalent to the Norwegian Transparency Act. However, there are other Swedish laws and regulations aimed at promoting openness and transparency in various areas of society, which Orange Business Digital Sweden AB adheres to in order to achieve similar outcomes.
