At Oktana, we’ve built our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives to reflect our dedication to diversity, environmental sustainability, and community engagement. As a leading software development company, we understand our responsibility to drive positive change and are committed to making a significant impact through our efforts.
In today’s landscape, CSR is not just a choice—it’s essential. We have made it our mission to integrate CSR into the pillars of our company, ensuring that our progress benefits not only our customers and employees, but also society and the environment. This article highlights the recent updates we’ve made to our CSR page and our vision for a more responsible and sustainable future.
Driving diversity and inclusion
Diversity and inclusion are core to Oktana’s identity. With a team predominantly based in Latin America, we are committed to creating an inclusive workplace that mirrors the rich diversity of the Americas.
Our focus on Equal Opportunity Employment and our initiatives to increase female representation in the tech industry demonstrates our commitment to building a workforce where everyone has the opportunity to thrive. Currently, 24% of our technical team are women, and 38% of senior team members are women. We are continuously working to improve this percentage to align with industry standards and foster more opportunities for women in tech.
Committing to environmental sustainability
Environmental conservation is a priority at Oktana. We have implemented various strategies to minimize our environmental footprint, such as eliminating single-use plastics in our offices and encouraging sustainable practices among our employees.
Our goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 20% by 2030 and our partnership with One Tree Planted, as part of 1t.org’s mission to plant 5,000 trees, demonstrate our commitment to preserving the environment for future generations.
Encouraging community engagement
Giving back to the community is a vital part of Oktana’s CSR strategy. We support a range of volunteer initiatives, empowering our employees to engage with causes they are passionate about from teaching kids to code, to 3D-printing PPE for healthcare workers during the pandemic.
Our involvement in the Pledge 1% initiative further reinforces our commitment to making a meaningful impact beyond our workplace.
Proud of our progress, excited for the future
We are proud of the efforts we have made in our CSR journey, but we recognize there is always more to be done. As we continue to grow, we are dedicated to expanding our initiatives and leading by example within the industry. By prioritizing social responsibility, we believe we can drive positive change both within Oktana and in the wider world.
We are also committed to improving how we calculate and monitor our carbon emissions, ensuring our environmental efforts are as impactful as possible. This includes expanding our sustainability measures and working toward better reporting and accountability for our environmental footprint.
