Governance & Ethics
ESG Policy
Doing the right thing matters to us. Here’s how we look after people, the planet and the way we do business.
Our commitment
Pistachio AS and its subsidiaries (Pistachio) aim to act with integrity, fairness and responsibility towards our people, customers, partners, communities and the environment. This policy applies to everyone who works for or with Pistachio, wherever and however they work.
Environment
Keep our footprint small and only claim what we can prove.
Social
Treat people fairly, pay fairly and respect human rights everywhere we work.
Governance
Do business honestly, keep accurate records and make it safe to speak up.
Integrity in business
- Zero tolerance for bribery and corruption. We never offer, give, ask for or accept an improper advantage to influence a business decision.
- Modest gifts only. Gifts and hospitality must be modest, transparent and approved in advance.
- Conflicts out in the open. Conflicts of interest must be disclosed, then managed or avoided.
- Accurate records. Our books and financial reporting reflect real transactions.
- Compliance. We follow the laws and regulations that apply to us.
People and human rights
- Equal opportunities. Hiring, pay, promotion and every other employment decision is based on merit, performance and business need. Our Code of Conduct sets out how we treat each other.
- Fair pay and working hours. We meet or go beyond local rules on wages, overtime, rest and leave.
- No modern slavery. We reject forced labour, human trafficking and child labour, and we act on any concern we find.
Environment
As a software company, our footprint comes mainly from office energy and cloud hosting. We cut unnecessary energy use, work paper-free, encourage sustainable travel and choose technology partners with credible environmental commitments. We do not make environmental claims we cannot back up.
Responsible technology
We treat privacy as a fundamental right, not just a compliance task, and we build AI that keeps people in control. Read more in our AI Policy and Our Approach to Security.
Our suppliers
We expect our suppliers and partners to meet the same standards. Our Supplier Code of Conduct sets out what that means.
Speaking up
Anyone can raise a concern through our confidential whistleblowing channel, anonymously if they prefer. We never tolerate retaliation against anyone who speaks up in good faith.
Responsibility
Our Chief Operating Officer is responsible for this policy and reviews it at least once a year.
