Our daily commitment to a better future
At iRIX Software Engineering AG, sustainability is not just a value, but our daily commitment. We actively live and cultivate a sustainable approach that runs through everything we do. Our drive for continuous improvement is firmly anchored and we actively address challenges to create a more sustainable future.
What we are already do
Social sustainability
Equal rights and fair wages: Our commitment to equal opportunities
Equal rights and equal pay are core values of our company. We actively promote equal opportunities and use transparent and fair salary structures to ensure that all employees receive the same career opportunities and remuneration regardless of gender or origin. Regular salary reviews and an objective evaluation system ensure that performance and skills are recognised and fairly rewarded.
Flexible working hours: Promoting the compatibility of family and career
We offer our employees flexible working hours to enable a good work-life balance. More than half of our workforce works part-time, which makes it easier for parents to adapt their working hours to their family's needs. This flexibility is an essential part of our corporate culture and helps our employees to successfully reconcile both professional responsibilities and family duties. We firmly believe that a supportive working environment leads to greater satisfaction and motivation while increasing productivity and efficiency.
Continuous learning and development: the key to innovation in the IT sector
Further training is a central component of our culture as an IT services company. We promote and support continuous learning to ensure the professional and personal development of our employees. These investments not only contribute to the satisfaction and motivation of our team, but also strengthen our innovative power and competitiveness in the IT industry.
25 years of commitment: support for refugee children in the Middle East
For 25 years, we have been providing financial support to refugee children in need in the Middle East through our partnership with the PalCH organisation. This long-standing collaboration enables us to provide targeted and sustainable help by providing funds for urgently needed educational programmes, medical care and psychosocial support. Our aim is to give the children a perspective and hope despite difficult circumstances and to improve their living conditions in the long term.
Environmental sustainability
Sustainable mobility: environmental protection through flexible and green transport solutions
Ecological sustainability is a central component of our corporate philosophy, particularly in the area of mobility. Every employee receives a half-fare travelcard from us, so that public transport is the preferred option for customer appointments. However, if a car is required, we make use of our Mobility membership. In addition, company bicycles are available to all employees so that they can be environmentally friendly and flexible when travelling. These measures help to minimise our ecological footprint and make a sustainable contribution to environmental protection.
Energy efficiency and renewable energies: our contribution to environmental protection
Energy efficiency is a central component of our environmental sustainability strategy. Unused rooms in our company are not heated in order to save energy. Our server is cooled by ventilation, using fresh air from outside to minimise energy consumption. In addition, we obtain 100% of our electricity from renewable sources, which further reduces our ecological footprint. We are currently investigating the construction of a solar roof to make our energy supply even more sustainable and make a further contribution to environmental protection.
Longevity and reuse: Sustainable use of IT devices
The longevity and reuse of devices are also key aspects of our energy and sustainability strategy. Our laptops are used for at least 5 years and are only replaced when necessary. Even after this period, they are refurbished where possible and reused on a private basis in order to extend their service life and reduce electronic waste. Mobile phones are used for at least 3 years and are also only replaced when necessary. These measures help us to minimise the consumption of resources and reduce our environmental impact.
Continuous CO2 reduction: our commitment to climate protection
We calculate our carbon footprint every year and our total emissions are always below average. We offset our emissions by consciously supporting projects in Switzerland. However, our aim is to continuously take measures and work to further reduce our consumption. Through these efforts, we want to maximise our contribution to climate protection and shape a more sustainable future.
Economic sustainability
Employee participation: strengthening economic sustainability and stability
Our economic sustainability is strengthened by the fact that all shares in our company are in the hands of our employees. This not only promotes strong employee loyalty and identification with the company, but also makes a significant contribution to long-term security and stability. Through this model, we ensure that all team members are directly involved in the success of the company and work together towards a sustainable and prosperous future.
Working from home: flexibility and efficiency for sustainable business success
We support working from home as an integral part of our work culture. This not only promotes flexibility and job satisfaction among our employees, but also offers economic benefits. The flexibility of the working model helps our employees to work more productively, as they can organise their working environment according to their individual needs. These efficiency gains support our economic sustainability and help us to remain economically successful in the long term.
Profit sharing: Fair success and long-term growth through employee remuneration
A large part of our profit is paid out to employees every year, both in the form of commission and profit sharing. This practice is another example of our commitment to economic sustainability and the promotion of fair remuneration. By giving our employees a direct share in the company's success, we further motivate them to perform at their best and strengthen their collective commitment to long-term success and growth.
Long-term partnerships: trust and stability for sustainable success
In line with our mission statement, we maintain long-term, partnership-based relationships with our customers that are characterised by mutual trust, appreciation and a sense of responsibility. These long-term partnerships are not only an expression of our corporate values, but also strengthen the stability and resilience of our supply chain. By working closely with our customers, we can respond better to their needs, develop innovative solutions and at the same time guarantee long-term planning security. This not only supports our economic sustainability, but also makes a significant contribution to our long-term corporate success.
