Governance

The IRONSCALES approach to governance is grounded in the belief that people are created with intrinsic dignity, value, and worth. As such, IRONSCALES strives to foster an inclusive workplace that treats people of all backgrounds, ethnicities, religions, sexual preferences, and cultures with respect and dignity. We also believe that as a corporation, we have the privilege to responsibly steward the resources of our environment.  

Since the IRONSCALES approach to governance is grounded in our values, we consider many factors, including environmental, social, and governance factors, which of course overlap with the tenants of ESG. Although ESG has been on the rise for a number of years, there is as yet no single defining approach nor governing body that determines which policies are or are not ESG. We invite customers, employees, vendors, and investors to explore our values and processes, and join us in our pursuit of standards that advance safer cybersecurity for the world.  

This policy outlines our commitment to responsible environmental practices, treating all people with dignity and respect (social), and implementing responsible governance practices.  

Environmental Sustainability: We understand that the people and processes within our organization have the opportunity to serve as stewards of the environment. We will strive to maximize our environmental stewardship by: 

• Ensuring energy-efficient use of equipment and infrastructure 
• Promote recycling and reuse of materials where possible 
• Renting/leasing building space in environmentally conscious buildings 
• Implementing eco-friendly practices in our facilities 
• Procuring equipment and products from sustainable sources.
