As NeuroSky-enabled end-products begin appearing on the market, our technology will begin to influence the lives of millions of people.
At NeuroSky, we believe we should go beyond the basics of ethical business practices and embrace our responsibility to people and to our planet. We believe this brings sustained, collective value to our shareholders, our employees, our customers and society.
Corporate social responsibility means investing in and enriching our communities. Our commitment to being a good corporate citizen also includes:
- Protecting our environment
- Selling products that contribute to well being of the global community of users--educate and empower them to explore capacities beyond their expectations
- Acting with integrity and adhering to the highest ethical standards
- Promoting diversity in our work force and partnering with diverse suppliers
- Ensuring a safe, healthy workplace
From a social growth and economic development perspective, we acknowledge our impact and responsibilities throughout our value chain: in our sourcing, product design, manufacturing, employee well-being, business partnerships, recycling, community involvement, and communications. Through our product lifecycle we respond to various environmental needs. Through employee relations, supply-chain management, and consumer offerings we aim to have a positive social influence.
Environment
Running our company in an environmentally friendly way is good for the environment and good for our business. We're working to conserve energy and reduce waste, and are exploring the use of sustainable materials and products.
We considered the areas over which we have the most control and influence, and assessed the level of societal concern for each. Our environmental strategy is focused on three key areas where we believe our work can have the greatest positive impact: energy conservation, sustainable design, and output/waste reduction (ECO).
Manufacturing
Whether we own the manufacturing facilities or outsource our production needs, we regularly inspect the factories to ensure that working conditions meet our standards.
Supporting Our Employees
We are dedicated to creating a workplace in which the rights, needs and unique contributions of every employee are consistently respected.
Customer satisfaction stems not only from our products but also from how effectively we interact with our community.
Our corporate responsibility programming reflects an increasing interest (both internally and externally) in the impact our business actions have on communities--from societal, environmental, and economic perspectives. We both acknowledge and understand that our responsibilities go beyond simply providing quality communication products.
As a market leader, the best contribution we can make to the global community is to conduct our business in a responsible way. This belief drives our commitment to creating ethically sound policies and principles that guide us in our work. Our Corporate Responsibility (CR) agenda is framed around the NeuroSky Values and is carried out in all aspects of our work to ensure customer satisfaction and respect, and also to assist us in embracing renewal and striving for achievement.
Our values are put into action with the help of the NeuroSky Code of Conduct, which aims to reach beyond legal compliance or reactionary positioning by taking a leading role in the various areas where society is affected by the our business.
This translates into further action as we integrate CR ideas and work practices throughout our various business channels. By striving to include all members of NeuroSky’s community in this process, we are demonstrating our overall commitment to the belief that responsibility is everybody’s business.
How we work is defined by who we are. Figuring out who we are comes from a careful process of defining our goals, attitudes towards others, definitions of what work means for us, and so forth.
Our environmental efforts are incorporated into every stage of the lives of our products. We take a proactive approach when considering the various areas of our environmental impact. Our environmental activities are a part of our business strategy, ensuring competitiveness, product effectiveness, demand-supply market alignment, cost effectiveness, and customer satisfaction.
Environmental efficiency is taken into account in all stages of product design. We focus on material efficiency, environmentally sound materials, disassembly, recycling, and other practices.
