Stray Partners ESG & Sustainability Policy

Last Updated: 25.07.2025

At Stray Partners, we believe that business success and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) responsibility go hand-in-hand. Our mission to improve global health and safety is inherently aligned with our commitment to building a more sustainable, inclusive, and ethical world.

1. Environmental Responsibility

We are committed to minimizing our environmental footprint and actively choosing solutions that contribute to a healthier planet.

  • Renewable Infrastructure: We prioritize vendors and data centers powered by 100% renewable energy. For example, our primary hosting provider, Hetzner, operates exclusively on renewable power.

  • Carbon Consciousness: As a digital company, we strive to reduce unnecessary travel, promote remote collaboration, and offset any emissions related to essential operations or events.

  • Energy-Efficient Technology: We develop web-based applications using C# (.NET Core) and JavaScript, designed for optimal performance and minimal resource use. Our solutions operate efficiently even on low-bandwidth connections and small devices - reducing energy consumption per user interaction.

  • Digital Sustainability: We avoid heavy file transfers and instead optimize browser-based processing and lightweight architectures that reduce strain on servers and client devices alike.

  • Procurement: We favor suppliers and partners who demonstrate environmental responsibility in their operations.

2. Social Commitment

We are driven by a belief in equity, well-being, and human dignity. Our solutions support people, and our policies reflect that internally and externally.

  • Health & Safety First: Our core product, Alive Health, is dedicated to advancing occupational health and psychosocial safety in line with ISO 45001 and ISO 45003 standards.

  • Inclusive Culture: We champion diversity and ensure an inclusive workplace that respects race, gender, age, nationality, beliefs, and identity.

  • Employee Well-being: We encourage flexible working arrangements, psychological safety, and purpose-driven work.

  • Community Engagement: Through partnerships like MIV2030 and pro bono initiatives, we support vulnerable worker groups and improve industry-level health and safety practices globally.

3. Governance & Ethics

We hold ourselves to the highest standards of ethics, transparency, and accountability.

  • Data Ethics: We design with privacy and compliance at the core - adhering to ISO 27001, NIS2, GDPR, and HIPAA principles.

  • Objectivity and Independence: We are neutral in our analytics and insights. Our decision-making and recommendations are guided by data, not influenced by external interests.

  • Anti-Corruption: We enforce a zero-tolerance policy toward bribery, conflicts of interest, and corruption at every level of our organization and partnerships.

  • Responsible AI & Analytics: Our insights are developed to support human well-being without manipulation, bias, or exploitation.

4. Continuous Improvement & Transparency

We regularly review our ESG practices and strive to set a higher standard for ourselves and our industry.

  • Sustainable Innovation: We continuously develop products and practices that contribute to safer, fairer, and more sustainable working environments.

  • Transparency: We are open about our operations, policies, and ESG journey.

  • Accountability: We maintain internal checks and external feedback loops to ensure our sustainability efforts remain effective, measurable, and credible.
