Corporate Social Responsibility Policy and Program

Corporate Social Responsibility (CRS) refers to the way in which businesses regulate themselves in order to ensure that their activities positively affect society. This policy outlines Maplesoft’s commitment to work ethically, considering human rights as well as the social, economic and environmental impacts of our business.

Maplesoft Cares

At Maplesoft, we strive to foster a sustainable future and contribute meaningful improvements in our communities.

In 2019 we founded the Maplesoft Cares committee. This cross-departmental group of Maplesoft employees meets regularly to develop and launch initiatives to contribute to the protection of our environment and to give back to the communities in which we operate.

Protecting the Environment

At Maplesoft, we are always looking for ways to reduce our carbon footprint and support sustainability. Initiatives such as buying carbon offsets for all corporate flights, incentives to use public transportation and food composting in our offices highlight our commitment to protecting our environment. We strive to reduce plastic, paper and energy consumption in our offices.

Community Engagement

At Maplesoft, we give back to the communities in which we do business. We donate funds to local charities, including those selected by our employees, and encourage employees to participate in fundraising initiatives. We look for opportunities to support education and STEM initiatives around the world as well as local community programs.

We support and sponsor local events and initiatives and have a close working relationship with academic institutions and community organizations in our region.
