Our Sustainability Initiatives
Environmental Conservation
Reducing Carbon Footprint: Our company actively seeks ways to minimize carbon emissions by investing in Energy Star equipment (e.g., computers, printers, and monitors), using energy efficient lighting and vacancy sensors, promoting eco-friendly transportation options, and training our staff on best practices for sustainable remote work.
Waste Reduction: We implement waste reduction strategies in our office by reusing personal computers, minimizing paper consumption through the use of the digital files and documents, participating in electronic and office waste recycling programs, and reducing consumption of single-use plastics.
Sustainable Procurement: Our company makes every effort ensure any goods and services we source are as sustainable as possible. In addition, we ensure that our core vendors commit to our supplier code of conduct that covers prohibition of child/forced labor, fair wages and working conditions, workplace safety, environmental responsibility, and ethical business practices.
People and Community
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI): We promote DEI in our HR activities, making efforts to recruit and hire employees from under-represented minority groups.
Volunteering: We provide all employees paid time to volunteer, get involved, and serve their communities.
Community Partnerships: We support our employees’ participation in fundraising for social/patient causes by offering a company match to the contribution.
Giving to the Community: Beginning 2023, our company began donating personal computing devices that no longer meet our technical requirements to disadvantaged children. Reason Research donated 4 personal computers in 2023 and we expect to continue the trend in 2024 as well.
Business Ethics, Policy and Transparency
Fair Labor Standards: We uphold fair labor standards throughout our operations ensuring safe working conditions, fair wages, equal pay, and respect for human rights in line with Federal, State, Local, and International laws.
Anti-bribery and Corruption: Our company is committed to conducting business in an ethical and honest manner and has zero tolerance for bribery and corruption. We aim to comply with the anti-bribery laws of the US and other jurisdictions in which we do business. These laws generally prohibit bribes, kickbacks, or illegal payments to influence business transactions and require maintaining accurate books, records, and a system of internal controls.
Transparency: We are committed to transparency and accountability in our operations, regularly communicating our sustainability goals, progress, and challenges to our stakeholders.
