Corporate Social Responsability
Since the creation of the company in 2006, LuxConnect has acted in compliance with the general principles of Corporate Social Responsibility, be it at economic, social or environmental level.
LuxConnect acts as a facilitator. In line with its mission received from the state, LuxConnect actively supports the development of the ICT sector in Luxembourg and thus also that of the national economy, and ultimately that of the overall wellbeing of the population too.
LuxConnect adopts a fair attitude towards its clients and suppliers. This approach is more specifically reflected in the application of the public procurements regulation and the application of the principles of transparency and non-discrimination in its business relations. The procurement policy of LuxConnect seeks to support local suppliers and fair trade.
With regard to human resources, LuxConnect’s CSR policy aims at increasing the motivation and satisfaction of its employees through a fair wage policy, respect of employee rights, access to training and a healthy work environment. The company’s social commitment is reflected notably in a low rate of absenteeism because of illness.
As a major energy consumer, LuxConnect is fully aware that its action has a considerable environmental impact. So efficient and sustainable use of natural resources combined with a reduction in the emission of greenhouse gases are the company’s priority goals. With that in mind, LuxConnect exclusively uses electricity from renewable resources with the objective of minimising its carbon footprint. Furthermore, cooling a Data Center with a heat absorption system from wood waste incineration reduces CO₂ emissions to zero.
As a socially responsible actor, LuxConnect supports the actions of local communities and participates in training, soft mobility and renaturation initiatives.

Some EXAMPLES of how LuxConnect supports local initiative:
ESR – Entreprise Responsable
In line with its CSR policy, LuxConnect aims to be a healthy and pleasant work environment. In this context, a whole range of actions are taken. To promote continuous professional development, training programmes are organised. Thus, to facilitate the integration of cross-border workers, free Luxembourgish classes are given at lunchtime twice a week.
In addition, extras such as a pool car, a weekly fruit crate, a babyfoot, convivial team-building activities or Saint-Nicolas Fairtrade bags etc. contribute to a good atmosphere and the wellbeing of employees.
This desire to participate in a healthy and sustainable environment is also reflected in actions taken outside the company. In particular, there has been a decision to invest in crowd farming. In Spain, for example, LuxConnect invested in an orange tree whose annual harvest of 80 kg of organic oranges is distributed to the staff. Don’t be surprised if you do not receive a paper greeting card at the end of the year, because the company has chosen to donate to an association. If you visit the Bettembourg campus some day, you will discover insect hotels decorated by children of the commune and areas of late mowing to contribute to bees’ nesting.
At LuxConnect, the concept of Corporate Social Responsibility is authentically understood. Here, we believe in the power of local and human actions.
