CSR
Corporate social responsibility
At Anchr, we promote corporate social responsibility across all our software companies. We believe that sustainable growth is only truly valuable when it also has a positive impact on people, society, and the environment. With more than 300 colleagues within our group, we commit ourselves to initiatives that create economic, social, and ecological added value. CSR is not just a separate project, but a structural part of how our companies do business.
