Sustainability

Lemonsoft’s sustainability programme

Sustainability is one of the most important values to us and an inseparable part of Lemonsoft’s business. For us, financial success is a part of sustainability as it provides the resources for strong development work now and in the future. We also deem it important to bear responsibility not only for the environment but also for people.

Financial responsibility

Lemonsoft aims to be a profitable and growing Finnish company, a trusted partner that bears its responsibility for the continuity and certainty of the business. For us, financial responsibility means that we ensure the profitability of our business, compliance with good governance and management of risks. We develop our products, services and expertise continuously to guarantee success for our customers. We believe that customers’ businesses that are streamlined with ERP systems will create success and result in the establishment of workplaces extensively across various sectors and in companies of various sizes, and in this way also generate tax income.

Social responsibility

Lemonsoft is a responsible employer that takes care of its employer obligations and invests in the expertise and ongoing training of its personnel and a safe work environment. We employ young talents just starting their career and see to their professional development. Lemonsoft offers motivating work equivalent to one’s skills in a positive and encouraging working environment, forming the basis of well-being at work at Lemonsoft. Both the technology used in our product development and the personnel demonstrate flexibility and a new way of working.

The development of the business of our customers also guides our operations. We listen to our customers’ wishes and develop our software solutions based on feedback from customers. The development proposals sent via our HelpDesk service are discussed every week. The approved development ideas are sent to our experts for implementation. We provide up-to-date information on the progress of a suggested development idea along with potential actions and a schedule for implementing it.

Environmental responsibility

The digitalisation of systems will considerably reduce our environmental burden as well as our customers. Lemonsoft’s software solutions will streamline the production and logistics of our customers, which will save raw material and energy and reduce emissions. Lemonsoft’s products play a key role when customers are adopting paperless working methods in their financial management.
