Environmental, Gender & Ethics (EGE)

 

Environmental Responsibility

 

At Crys-Teh, we believe that technology and sustainability must go hand in hand. Our production site is powered in part by solar panels, supported through the project “Support for Energy Resilience of Micro and Small Enterprises in Ukraine”, implemented under the ReACT4UA programme (Application and Implementation of the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement in the field of trade). This international cooperation programme is co-financed by the Government of Germany and the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (NORAD).

 

By adapting our operations for the maximum possible use of renewable energy, we are aligned with global green energy trends. This reduces emissions, enhances energy independence, and demonstrates that even highly specialized photonics companies can contribute to a more resilient and sustainable future.

 

Our solar panels are a visible sign of our commitment to addressing the world’s challenges of climate change, resource efficiency, and sustainable industrial development.

Our goal is to become a member of the Climate Group’s RE100.

 

Gender Equality & Inclusion

 

At Crys-Teh, we see diversity and equality not as obligations, but as the driving forces of creativity and growth. Our culture is inclusive, international, and supportive - where every voice matters, and talent is valued regardless of gender, age, or background.

 

We are part of the global trend reshaping workplaces into fair and inspiring environments. Women and men at Crys-Teh collaborate in marketing, finance, production, and research. We encourage balanced representation in leadership, transparent career development, and equal access to training.

Our Gender Equality Plan (2025 - 2028) sets concrete objectives, but our daily practice goes beyond formalities:

 

Ø Promoting open dialogue and mutual respect.

Ø Supporting work-life balance.

Ø Building diverse teams that foster stronger innovation.

 

Ethics & Integrity

 

Trust is the foundation of innovation. At Crys-Teh, we follow a Code of Ethics built on integrity, respect, responsibility, and innovation with care.

 

We stand firmly against corruption, unfair practices, and discrimination, ensuring fairness in business and honesty in science. Our responsibility extends beyond operations to the community and society at large.

 

We are also proud to be included in the official Ukrainian list of taxpayers with the highest level of voluntary compliance with tax legislation [J1425201] - a recognition of our commitment to transparency, accountability, and responsible business conduct.
