Sustainability

Sustainability means meeting our own needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. It is deeply embedded in our purpose, the reason we exist: “Because Mars is for quitters.”

DELIVERING ON OUR PROMISES

By living our purpose and delivering on our strategy, we believe we can make a positive difference on the society at large for the long-term while maximising positive outcomes and growth for our customers and shareholders.

WE ARE PURPOSE-DRIVEN

Solving Global Challenges has been the basis of Calix’s passion and business for more than a decade, with a mission to urgently develop great businesses, leveraging our patented technology, that deliver positive global impact.

At Calix, we continuously ask the following question to ourselves: with global climate, energy, and sustainability issues set to intensify, how can we use innovation and teamwork through to develop solutions that solve the challenges that are increasingly putting our planet at risk.

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” Margaret Mead

We support the UN Global Compact

Our annual Communication on Progress (COP) shares with you the progress we have made towards the Ten Principles and the development of our responsible business practices.

Contributing to the Global Goals

Between 2020 and 2021, our Sustainability Team conducted a thorough review of all 17 SDGs, with the aim to understand better our connection to the Goals, identify associated risks, and define priority areas where we believe we can have the most meaningful impact.

Calix touches all 17 SDGs through innovation, development and partnership initiatives, day-to-day operations, and social investment opportunities. By aligning ourselves with the SDGs, we are driven to make an impactful and more significant contribution to Solving Global Challenges.

This review along with our commitment to the Ten Principles set by the UN Global Compact, has set us on a path of corporate social responsibility, and reaffirmed our commitment to innovate and collaborate to continue to build a more sustainable business model, while inspiring and helping all our stakeholders to contribute to a more sustainable future.

CSR and ‘giving back to the community’

The pandemic has proven that people and businesses can overcome adversity and give back to their community even in the toughest of times, emerging as local heroes in their communities.

Driven by our purpose of solving global challenges, our aspiration is to urgently develop great businesses, leveraging our patented technology, that deliver positive global impact. We take our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) seriously and believe we can help create lasting social change that benefits the whole society, while continuing to grow.

Therefore, giving back to causes that we feel passionate about is paramount, whether it’s a global not-for-profit organisation or a sport club in our local community.
