These commitments include promoting inclusivity and accessibility in the technology industry, being profitable in a responsible and ethical way, and supporting initiatives for climate change mitigation. “We’ve built a resilient CSR policy that is much more than just a moral compass. We’re committed to giving 1% of our time, resources, and revenue to the CSR initiatives that make up our triple bottom line, which means our commitments will grow with us,” says Katie Allen, Corporate Social Responsibility Manager at Fiix.
