Responsibility
Taking responsibility for our actions and for future generations is a matter close to our hearts at UXMA. This pertains not only to our daily work and collaboration within our team and with our customers but explicitly to our approach to the environment, resources, and our endeavor to create and shape a sustainable future.
As a medium-sized company significantly influencing the digital and technological transformation, we have been contributing to social and ecological innovations for over 35 years, assuming responsibility with the understanding that we constantly strive for improvement. We see ourselves as part of the global community, whose central societal task is to commit to sustainable development goals and support them with appropriate measures and activities, aiming for a livable and desirable future. Throughout the many years since the company's founding, we have gained valuable insights and experiences that we aim to showcase in our sustainability report.
Best regards,
