Social Responsibility: our commitment to the world

At Stellaxius, we want to make a difference… Stellaxius’ team makes it happen! In 2022, our company hopes it will have contributed to a significant social concern that the local and global community can be proud of. This purpose is simple: giving back to society with our social responsibility strategy.

Our commitment to being socially responsible as a company has been since we first began. We believe in doing good. We’re committed to being a force for good in the world and making significant progress towards our goal of using technology to improve the world. To accomplish our mission, we’ve laid out a plan: an ambitious agenda to ensure our business is making a positive impact on the planet. This is an essential part of our work as a company, and it is core to who we are. We believe we need to give back, not just with donations but with our daily actions to improve people’s lives.

We are a company that is committed to sustainable development and social responsibility. This commitment goes beyond our day-to-day work and into the communities we serve. We believe these efforts are integral to creating a sustainable brand, which benefits our team members, clients, and partners. We commit to making a difference in the world. And to do that, we want to help organisations be more sustainable. This is why we’ve launched a new social responsibility strategy. Our purpose is to inspire a better way of doing business. We go to work every day doing this, thinking about how we can make a difference in the world; believing we did that in the past, but we’re not stopping here. We dedicate to continuously making changes and doing the right thing for our customers and the world.

Sustainable development is one of the significant challenges of our time. With it comes other closely related issues — like hunger, poverty, and climate change — that affect us all on a global scale. Let’s help our planet breathe. Below, find the table of contents for this article:

1. Our social mission

Let’s help our planet breathe!

Sustainable development is one of the most significant challenges of our time because worldwide population growth, climate change, and water scarcity all contribute to making sustainable development a top priority.  There are still millions of people in the world who lack proper housing. Also, some people do not have access to clean drinking water and sanitation services. Recycling waste for energy has enabled the green revolution, which has helped feed hungry people and meet the energy needs of underdeveloped countries.

And it strongly aligns with our purpose:

We inspire people. We embrace challenges. We solve problems. We have fun.

Also, it’s supported by our distinct culture and way of doing things. Our mission is to:

Connect people through knowledge, learning and expertise to achieve stellar performances together.

We also aim to be among the most respected Salesforce Consulting Boutiques in the world.

2. Why commit to sustainable development?

Our planet faces serious environmental problems; this is no secret to anyone; it is also no secret that a large part of the problems result from direct man action, who deforests, pollutes and exaggeratedly depletes all the resources that the planet offers.

It is also no secret that the solution to these problems is complex and requires a joint effort: every human has a role to play in the salvation of our planet. It is known that many of the solutions that our society needs to tackle these challenges, are headed by changes in consumption patterns, lifestyle and respect for the environment. Those factors significantly influence consumption patterns and lifestyles, so the responsibility for change lies with each one of us.

3. Our strategy

Firstly, to develop our social responsibility plan, we combined the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with our will to do good.

These 17 goals group together into five different categories:

And we’re now aiming to work at three of those five pillars: People, Planet and Prosperity.

4. How are we making it happen?

Besides having a lot of social responsibility initiatives running with institutions like REFOOD, AMIAMA, or the Instituto Português do Sangue e da Transplantação, we’re committed to supporting the Pledge 1%.

Therefore, Pledge 1% is a global movement to create a new business paradigm in which giving back to the community is at the top of the priorities for companies since their inception and regardless of size.

Through the Pledge 1% commitment, Stellaxius annually contributes:

• 1% of the net income from the previous period to social causes;
• 1% of our work to causes we relate to, which represents 16 hours for each employee – with this contribution, we aim to have at least one pro-bono project annually;
• 1% of the product company.
