Baringa is pioneering a positive, people-first way of working. To achieve this we have a set of internalized values and initiatives to make a positive impact in the world: • Empower employees to participate in various internal initiatives and drive innovation and continuous improvement; • Emphasize mental and physical well-being through awareness programs, advisor and coaching initiatives; • Corporate Social Responsibility program driven and managed by the employees, including choice of causes to support, financial resources and 3 days per year for community work; • Focus on the environment and support for local producers; • Commitment to UN Sustainable Development Goals; • We strive to align our whole business with a less than 1.5°C warming scenario on global scale.

Our people-centric culture is holistic, not exclusively focused on a single social or environmental issue. Major target groups: - Empower our employees with knowledge and resources to bring a positive and sustainable change in their communities; - Encourage and support our clients in developing and implementing their own Net Zero strategies to make the world a better place together. CSR initiatives supported in Bulgaria in 2022: PULSE Foundation; Sharo Foundation, various other initiatives.

Baringa Bulgaria commitment to sustainability and people-first way of working is ongoing. Our wellness and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives are reevaluated on annual basis and new initiatives are added as identified based on monthly employee surveys and feedback. The initiatives to be supported by the CSR Program on annual basis are selected by the employees.
