Social responsibility is a core value of our culture at Geographic Solutions. We strive to develop an innovative ecosystem of software solutions that globally supports individuals seeking employment.
We’re aligned with many of the United Nations’ sustainable development goals. By contributing to educational institutions, food banks, shelters, and medical organizations in the places where we work and live, we support communities and individuals in marginalized positions. Our unique productivity modules help promote economic growth, high-quality wages, and healthier societies by serving international governments, universities, and labour market researchers.
Our software also aligns with the Net Zero Strategy for building, sustaining, and being a champion for Net Zero. We have made it a priority to ensure that green jobs are available and promoted through our specialized job assistance portals that focus and promote careers in the green jobs industry. Within our entire product line, jobs associated as green-friendly get special designations.
Our next-generation software guides individuals along their employment journey into rewarding careers by aiding white and blue collar professionals.

Geographic Solutions is committed to the principle of treating everyone fairly and consistently, creating a workplace and business environment that is open, transparent, and trusted. We have a zero-tolerance position on violations of individuals' basic human rights, and in particular, support the aims and remedies encoded within the International Labour Organization Convention No. 29 on Forced Labour and the United Kingdom's Modern Slavery Act of 2015.
We hold all our partners and affiliations accountable, and we immediately address concerns if we suspect that they are not upholding the principles enshrined within our zero-tolerance position on violations of basic human rights and within international legislation. This applies to all personnel employed by or engaged to provide services to Geographic Solutions, including, but not limited to, employees, officers, and temporary employees of Geographic Solutions and Geographic Solutions' U.S. and international subsidiaries, and independent contractors.
Every employee is responsible for reading, understanding, and complying with our anti-slavery/anti-trafficking protocols. Geographic Solutions’ management is responsible for ensuring that employees who report to them, directly or indirectly, comply with these guidelines. If you have any questions or concerns relating to these guidelines, consult Geographic Solutions’ human resources department.
Violations or abuses can be reported to our Red Flag Hotline. Geographic Solutions will not tolerate retaliation against an employee for reporting a concern in good faith or for cooperating with a compliance investigation, even when no evidence is found to substantiate the report. Violation of our anti-slavery/anti-trafficking protocols may be grounds for disciplinary action, up to and including termination. Geographic Solutions and its subsidiaries have the exclusive right to interpret this policy regarding their respective employees. Violation of the laws against human trafficking may also result in criminal prosecution of responsible individuals.
