Environmental Policies

Purpose & Scope

At Akzis and its subsidiaries, including AkzisAI, AkzisVIP, and Akzis Hardware (“Akzis”), we are dedicated to building a sustainable company. We achieve this by adding value for our customers and stakeholders, taking a proactive stance against racial injustice, slavery, championing gender equality, safeguarding customer data and privacy, and striving to reduce our environmental footprint.

These efforts converge to forge a sustainable business model—one that elevates our employees, communities, systems, and the environment we all share. As participants in the UN Global Compact, we have pledged to adopt, report, and monitor sustainable practices. This policy outlines our commitments, which will guide our efforts to meet and exceed environmental compliance, enhance our sustainability performance, and lead in educating and collaborating with our employees, customers, and partners.
