Sustainable work. Sustainable development.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

At RISC, sustainability has three sides: how we treat people, how we run our business and use resources, and what kind of software we build.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We, the employees of RISC Software GmbH, are committed to social, economic and environmental responsibility, in our everyday work as well as in our projects.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Software that saves resources<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sustainability doesn\u2019t end at our office door. Many of our projects help companies and grid operators save energy, materials and emissions. And because durable, maintainable software conserves resources itself, \u201cApproved\u201d is part of our promise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TECHNICAL ARTICLE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good software is green<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Efficient software saves not only energy but also operating costs. Our developer Yvonne Marneth shows how the eight principles of \u201cGreen Coding\u201d make applications more environmentally friendly, more cost-effective and more robust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sustainability at RISC<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We think of sustainability in three dimensions: social, economic and environmental.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

<\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Responsibility for people.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

We promote generational diversity, equal opportunities and social justice and look after the health and safety of our team. Flexible working models, a family-friendly culture and lifelong learning are a matter of course for us. With our Gender Equality Plan, we firmly embed integration, equality and diversity in our corporate culture.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

<\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Because long-term success matters more.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Economic stability is at the heart of what we do. We handle resources, knowledge and experience responsibly, and quality always comes first. Our roots in Softwarepark Hagenberg and the research region of Upper Austria, together with a stable network of customers and partners, ensure long-term, sound management.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

<\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For a world that lasts.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

We use resources carefully in our daily work. Our guiding principle is the four Rs: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Regional.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n
\n
\n

The four Rs in everyday work<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

<\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Reduce<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

What we don\u2019t consume, we don\u2019t have to replace. We only print what is really necessary, unplug devices we don\u2019t need, run energy-efficient hardware and only travel when necessary.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

<\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Reuse<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

What we can\u2019t avoid, we reuse: reusable instead of disposable packaging, refurbished hardware where possible, and paper as notepaper.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

<\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Recycle<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

We separate waste throughout the company. Anything that can\u2019t be separated conventionally is disposed of separately and responsibly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

<\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Regional<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

We buy locally, from the apples in our kitchen to long-standing suppliers, and reward colleagues who come to work by public transport, bike, on foot or by car-sharing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
