Corporate Social Responsibility
and Sustainability
Sustainable Operations:
Energy Efficiency: We do practice usage of less energy to provide the same amount of useful output from our solutions and services. Practically, it is all about achieving the same performance while consuming fewer resources. And to do that, we design our data centers and office spaces to maximize energy efficiency. This includes using energy-efficient hardware, optimizing cooling systems, and implementing energy-saving practices.
Waste Management:
Electronic Waste: E-waste is the fastest growing solid waste worldwide, which is three times faster than the world’s population. In 2022, approximately 62 million metric tons of e-waste were produced globally, but not even 20% of that was formally collected and recycled.
We responsibly manage electronic waste through recycling programs and by following international regulations, especially the Basel Convention, that controls the transboundary movement of hazardous e-wastes and their disposal.
Material Reduction: We aim to minimize waste by reducing the use of paper and single-use plastics. Digital documentation and communication are prioritized to support that. We encourage to adopt a “buy less, use longer” mentality to ensure material reduction. We also promote durable and repairable electronic devices to extend their lifespan.
Sustainable Procurement: We always aim to promote conservation and responsible management of resources by using renewable or recycled materials wherever possible and reduce waste. It integrates environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria into an organization’s procurement processes. By considering sustainable development, stakeholder expectations, and regulatory requirements, organizations can meet their product and service needs while positively impacting the environment, society, and the economy.
We prefer suppliers who share our commitment to sustainability, ensuring that the products and services we procure have minimal environmental impact. This waste management practice helps to enhance resource efficiency and contribute to a greener future.
Environmental Education and Awareness:
Employee Training: Employee training in environmental education and awareness is extremely crucial for fostering sustainability within an organization. We, at ARCON, provide regular training on environmental best practices to every employee. It includes energy-saving tips, waste reduction techniques, and sustainable commuting options.
Community Engagement: This is a crucial aspect of environmental education and awareness beyond classrooms. It includes non-profit community groups, government agencies, public awareness programs etc. We engage with local communities through environmental initiatives, such as tree planting, clean-up drives, and sustainability workshops.

Anti-Corruption: It acquires top position in the list of responsibilities of enterprises, individuals and government entities. To abide by anti-corruption policies, we implement internal controls, due diligence and training programs to enforce the policies. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy towards bribery or corruption and report suspicious activities if we come across anything similar.
Diversity and Inclusion:
Equal Opportunity: Equal Opportunity: Equal opportunity amid diversity is a fundamental principle that we promote for fairness and inclusivity. It ensures that everyone, regardless of their background, has an equitable chance to perform and succeed. We are committed to providing equal opportunities for all employees and applicants, regardless of race, gender, age, religion, disability, or sexual orientation.
Inclusive Culture: We foster an inclusive workplace culture where all employees feel valued and respected. We appreciate all employees of all backgrounds and diverse characteristics. Employee resource groups and diversity training programs support this objective that leads to increased satisfaction, retention and creativity in the workplace.

Professional Development: It goes without saying that Professional development is crucial for every employee to enhance their skills, progress in their careers, and stay competitive in today’s dynamic employment scenario. We invest in our employees’ growth through continuous and adequate learning opportunities, mentorship programs, and career development initiatives.
Community Impact:
Philanthropy: The word ‘Philanthropy’ is coined from a Greek word ‘Philanthropia’ which means “Love for Humanity.” Since ages, philanthropy has been associated with selfless love and acts of kindness. At ARCON, we nurture altruistic concern for human welfare and advancement. It involves private initiatives aimed at promoting the public good and improving the quality of life.
We support various charitable organizations (e.g. https://www.adorecharities.org/) and community projects through donations and volunteer efforts and addressing societal needs.
Education and Skills Development: Education and employee skill development are essential components for both personal growth and organizational success. We partner with educational institutions to support relevant technical and professional education and provide internships and training programs for students and young professionals to kickstart their career.
Stakeholder Engagement:
Stakeholder engagement process helps organizations to involve people who might get affected by its decisions or can influence the implementation of those decisions in the long run. Organizations do engage with stakeholders to understand their needs, concerns, and expectations.
We believe that effective stakeholder engagement fosters trust, transparency, and collaboration and it ensures consideration of diverse perspectives and minimizes negative impacts. We engage with stakeholders, including employees, clients, suppliers, and community members, to gather continuous feedback and improve business practices, strategies, and collaborations.
