Corporate Social Responsibility
LuxConnect and its subsidiary LuxProvide, act in compliance with the general principles of corporate social responsibility, whether at the economic, social or environmental level.
Both entities act as facilitators. In line with their mission received by the State, they actively support the development of the ICT sector in Luxembourg and thus of the national economy and ultimately of the overall well-being of the population.
The two firms adopt a fair attitude towards their clients and suppliers. This approach is more specifically reflected in the application of the public procurements’ regulation as well as in the application of the transparency and non-discrimination principles in their business relations.
The procurement policy of LuxConnect and LuxProvide seeks to support local suppliers and fair trade.
In both professional environments, we have implemented a comprehensive strategy that focuses on respecting human rights in all aspects of our operations. We are committed to promoting fair labor practices, eliminating discrimination and harassment, and providing safe working conditions for our employees.
Regarding human resources, the CSR policy of both companies aims at increasing the motivation and satisfaction of their employees through a fair wage policy, respect of employee rights, access to training and a healthy work environment. Their social commitment is reflected by a low turnover and a low absenteeism rate because of illness.
As major energy consumers, LuxConnect and LuxProvide are fully aware that their actions have a considerable environmental impact. Efficient and sustainable use of natural resources combined with a reduction in the emission of greenhouse gases are therefore the two companies’ priority goals.
In this sense LuxConnect and its subsidiary exclusively use electricity from renewable resources with the objective to minimize their carbon footprint. Furthermore, cooling a data centre with a heat absorption system from wood waste incineration reduces C02 emissions to zero.
As socially responsible actors, LuxConnect and LuxProvide support the actions of local communities and participate in training, soft mobility and renaturation initiatives.
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 programs are organized. 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 foosball table, 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.
