Corporate Social Responsibility Statement

Corporate Social Responsibility Statement

At IFLScience, we recognize our responsibility to positively impact society and the environment in which we operate. Our commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility is ingrained in our core values, guiding our decisions and actions every day. We strive to create a sustainable and inclusive future for all, ensuring attention to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), Environmental Sustainability, Philanthropy, and Accessibility.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI)

We believe that diversity fuels innovation and fosters a vibrant workplace culture. We are committed to building a diverse team that reflects the audiences we serve, ensuring equal opportunities for all employees regardless of race, ethnicity, gender and gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, socioeconomic status, or any other characteristic. Through ongoing training, education, support to marginalized communities, and inclusive policies, we aim to create an environment where every individual feels valued, respected, and empowered to contribute their unique perspectives.

Sustainability

As stewards of the planet, we recognize the urgent need to mitigate climate change, conserve natural resources, and promote sustainable practices. We are dedicated to reducing our carbon footprint across all aspects of our operations, from reducing our daily emissions through remote working to adopting eco- friendly technologies and embracing renewable energy. We strive to contribute to a healthier planet for current and future generations.

Philanthropy

We are deeply committed to giving back to the communities where we live and work. Through strategic philanthropic initiatives, partnerships, and volunteer efforts, we support organizations and causes that address pressing social, economic, food poverty, and health challenges. Our philanthropic endeavors focus on youth, mental health, healthcare, homelessness, and the environment, aiming to make a meaningful difference in the lives of individuals and communities around the world.

Accessibility

We believe that everyone should have equal access to our products, services, and facilities, regardless of physical or cognitive abilities. At IFLScience, our mission is to share the wonder and relevance of science with a global audience, and this includes ensuring that scientific knowledge is accessible to all. We are dedicated to creating inclusive experiences for all readers, employees, and stakeholders by prioritizing accessibility in our designs, communications, and interactions. Through ongoing accessibility assessments, feedback mechanisms, a multi-year plan, and inclusive design practices, we strive to remove barriers and create environments that are welcoming, accommodating, and empowering for everyone.

All encompassing Statement

We value and actively promote positive change and enhancement within the STEM community and beyond. We do this through our targeted philanthropic initiatives, embedding a culture dedicated to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion with Accessibility and advocating (practicing) sustainable working practices for the enhancement of our profession, people and planet.
