PEOPLE & CONTRIBUTORS
Human expertise deserves human standards
Fair opportunity
Recruitment and task allocation should be relevant, accessible and free from unlawful discrimination.
Clear terms
People should understand the work, quality expectations, rates, payment process and use of their contribution.
Safe participation
Projects involving sensitive content require appropriate notice, choice, support and exposure controls.
Voice and remedy
Concerns should be easy to raise, handled fairly and protected from retaliation.
Privacy and dignity
Personal information should be minimised, protected and used only for authorised purposes.
Skills and growth
Guidance, feedback and training help people perform well and build transferable capability.
CLIMATE & OPERATIONS
Make digital growth more resource-aware.
AI and digital services depend on energy, infrastructure and hardware. We seek to make thoughtful choices across architecture, data, vendors and ways of working.
Develop a reliable view of operational energy, cloud usage, travel, purchased goods and relevant value-chain impacts.
Reduce unnecessary collection, duplication, storage, processing and model use where leaner approaches meet the objective.
Consider efficiency, renewable energy, security, location and transparency when selecting major technology providers.
Prioritise durable equipment, repair, reuse and responsible recycling while protecting information security.
RESPONSIBLE SOURCING
Standards beyond our own operations
Assess risk based on service, geography, workforce, data access and environmental impact.
Include appropriate conduct, labour, privacy, security and sustainability requirements.
Request evidence and enhanced review where risk or impact is higher.
Address gaps through corrective action, support, monitoring or responsible exit.
DIRECTION OF TRAVEL
Commitments that guide progress
Embed responsible AI review
Apply proportionate data, safety, privacy and human-oversight review to material AI programmes.
Strengthen contributor safeguards
Standardise clear terms, escalation, payment monitoring and sensitive-content practices.
Build environmental measurement
Improve visibility of material energy, emissions and resource impacts before setting public targets.
Increase supplier transparency
Extend risk-based due diligence and contractual expectations across key partners.
Report with integrity
Publish only metrics that are supported by defined boundaries, methodology and reliable evidence.
GOVERNANCE
Accountability turns intention into action.
Leadership oversees sustainability priorities and integration with strategy, risk and operations. Business teams own delivery, supported by specialists in responsible AI, privacy, security, people, procurement and finance.
Material issues and performance indicators are reviewed through the appropriate management and governance channels. Concerns may be raised through ethics@millwonder.com.
