  Fighting climate change

  Valiantys is dedicated to combating climate change by integrating sustainable practices throughout its operations. This commitment is part of our core strategy to ensure that our business activities contribute positively to the global effort against environmental degradation. Valiantys’ Environmental Policy outlines our strategic approach to minimizing our carbon footprint and enhancing environmental performance across all aspects of our business. We recognize that our operations, particularly in the tech industry, have a tangible impact on the environment, primarily through energy consumption and GHG emissions. To address these impacts, we have implemented several initiatives: Energy Efficiency: We strive to reduce our energy consumption by optimizing the use of servers and promoting energy-efficient practices within our offices. Our partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a pivotal part of this strategy. AWS is committed to achieving 100% renewable energy usage by 2025, which significantly aligns with our goals to minimize the carbon footprint associated with our digital operations. Resource Management: Valiantys actively works towards the preservation of natural resources by adopting sustainable office practices. This includes minimizing the use of paper, encouraging recycling, and reducing disposable packaging. We continuously evaluate the environmental impact of the products we purchase and favor those that are more environmentally friendly and efficient. Sustainable Transportation: We encourage our employees to reduce travel by opting for virtual meetings and teleconferencing whenever possible. For necessary travel, we promote the use of public transportation and bicycles, and support the use of 'green' vehicles by maintaining a fleet that meets high environmental standards. Pollution Control: We have identified our major sources of pollution and implemented strict waste management procedures to ensure that all waste, particularly electronic waste and consumables, are disposed of responsibly. Our offices are equipped with facilities for proper segregation and recycling, reducing the overall environmental impact of our waste.

  Tackling economic inequality

  Valiantys is deeply committed to tackling economic inequality through its corporate practices and business strategies. Our approach centers on creating inclusive employment opportunities, fostering diversity, and promoting economic development in the communities where we operate. These efforts are integral to our broader corporate social responsibility (CSR) strategy and reflect our commitment to contributing positively to society. Supporting Local Economies Recognizing the importance of local economies in tackling economic disparities, Valiantys prioritizes local hiring and procurement. By engaging local suppliers and contractors, we contribute to the economic vitality of the communities in which we operate. This not only supports small and medium-sized enterprises but also reduces our logistical footprints and promotes sustainable economic growth. Our Sustainable Procurement Policy is designed to ensure that our business practices contribute to the welfare of local economies, thus supporting our commitment to fair and equitable treatment of suppliers and fostering long-term business mutually beneficial relationships. Employee Development and Fair Remuneration Valiantys is committed to the professional growth and development of our employees, which is a key factor in addressing economic inequality. We offer comprehensive training and development programs that enable employees to advance their skills and careers within the company. This commitment is coupled with our adherence to fair pay practices, ensuring that all employees receive competitive and equitable compensation that reflects their roles and contributions. These practices help mitigate economic inequality by providing our workforce with the skills and opportunities needed to improve their economic standing. Community Engagement and Development Beyond our internal policies, Valiantys actively participates in community engagement initiatives aimed at economic development. We collaborate with non-profit organizations and community groups to support projects that enhance educational opportunities, improve access to technology, and foster entrepreneurship. These initiatives are particularly focused on underserved communities where the impact of economic support can be transformative.

  Equal opportunity

  Equal opportunity Valiantys is committed to fostering equal opportunities across all aspects of our operations, from recruitment practices to professional development and leadership opportunities. Our dedication to equal opportunity is rooted in the belief that diversity enhances creativity, innovation, and business success. Here is how Valiantys implements this commitment: Robust Inclusion Policies Our Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion Charter serves as the foundation of our commitment to equal opportunity. This charter not only sets out to prevent all forms of discrimination but actively promotes diversity within our workforce. Valiantys ensures that recruitment, training, and career advancement opportunities are based solely on individual qualifications, performance, skills, and experience, regardless of gender, ethnicity, age, disabilities, sexual orientation, religion, or any other status. Recruitment and Hiring Practices Valiantys has implemented transparent and fair recruitment processes that aim to attract a diverse pool of candidates. We use standardized criteria to assess candidates to avoid biases that might prevent equal employment opportunities. Our job postings are designed to be inclusive and are disseminated through channels that reach diverse demographic groups. Additionally, we employ training programs for our HR personnel and hiring managers to raise awareness about unconscious biases and promote best practices in inclusive hiring. Workplace Flexibility Understanding the diverse needs of our employees, Valiantys supports flexible working arrangements that accommodate different life stages and responsibilities, such as parenthood or caring for family members. This flexibility ensures that all employees have the opportunity to succeed professionally without sacrificing their personal commitments. In conclusion, Valiantys' commitment to equal opportunity is a comprehensive approach that encompasses our hiring practices, workplace policies, supplier engagement, and community involvement. By fostering an environment where all individuals are valued and have the opportunity to thrive, we not only enhance our organizational effectiveness but also contribute positively to social equity.
