Commitments and CSR
We care about what tomorrow is made of. Every action and decision we make must take into account the weight of the challenges to which our world is confronted, socially, financially or environmentally.
Our world is confronted with preoccupying issues, and we believe that it is our duty to use our time to do our best in order to better contribute to the global solution. We expect people to be conscious of these challenges and to act in consequence.
We don’t tolerate, and never will, behaviors that don’t respect this fundamental conviction. This goes in hand with one of the main reasons we built Maki: a more diversified and equitable job market.
Action
We developed the "Maki for Good"project to make sure our work, time and money contribute to a better world and inspire others to do the same.
“Succeeding without doing good is wrong.”
