Synaxis Consulting Corporate Social Responsibility Report 2024
Synaxis Consulting recognizes how important socially responsible efforts are to our employees and customers. We are dedicated to these CSR practices and continue to improve and grow.
Synaxis adheres to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and our annual sustainability report is GRI-Referenced, Index: GRI 405: Diversity and Equal Opportunity 2016, and GRI 413: Local Communities, and GRI 306: Effluents and Waste. Synaxis also participates in CDP, EcoVadis and EnviroStars reporting.
Synaxis focuses on three main pillars of corporate social responsibility:
Environmental Efforts
Synaxis is committed to promoting sustainability and to reduce the environmental impacts of our activities. Our efforts include CDP reporting, disclosing our carbon emissions and our pledge to reduce emissions 55% by the year 2030. Synaxis has also been recognized by Earthshare, certified by EnviroStars for being a green company, as well as awarded the Silver Medal by EcoVadis. As a remote consulting business, we encourage our employees to work from home as often as they can. Our flexible work policy helps cut down on commuting and the corresponding pollution associated with that travel. We also utilize Microsoft’s modern workplace technology, which encourages less printing of documents and needless paper waste. When our hardware is no longer being used, we participate in a donation program where the computers are donated to local schools for online learning. When they are no longer useable, the hardware is stripped down for recycling; what can be refurbished will be and other materials are responsibly recycled.
Philanthropy & Volunteering
At Synaxis, we believe we have more to give. It’s important to us to be involved and give back in the communities where we do business and meaningful organizations across the country and the world. Each year, with the help of our employees, we choose a charity or foundation to support. We strive to have all of our employees participate in our charitable efforts each year by making it fun and easy to get involved. Synaxites regularly volunteer in various ways to charities and non-profit organizations. We are proud of and encourage our employees to get involved in the organizations that inspire them – whether addressing social or environmental causes, it is clear that Synaxites care.
Diversity & Ethical Labor Practices
Synaxis is proud to be a Woman-Owned business and has been certified with both WBENC and OMWBE as a Woman’s Business Enterprise. In addition to being a Woman Owned Business, 80% of our management team are women and over two-thirds of our employees are women. Synaxis also practices a “People-First” philosophy that focuses on the holistic well-being of our employees. Our employees enjoy the total transparency of our compensation model as well as a versatile healthcare benefits package, matching retirement funds and flexible ‘work from home’ options.
