Social Responsibility
 Business social responsibility that validates standards

For the last 3 years, Fortech has taken up various social responsibility actions through its involvement in community campaigns, volunteering actions, sponsorships and contributions. Fortech has integrated these social responsibility actions into its business model. Fortech’s involvement did not only raise awareness on various public issues, but it also encouraged its team to contribute to community development and growth. This way the company proactively embraces responsibility for the impact of its activities and business procedures on the environment, people and communities. It is not only about donating money and material things, it is also about donating time and effort for a good cause.

  • “Every child should have computer access” Campaign

This campaign was launched by Fortech and by Free Software Group in collaboration with FRCCF (Romanian Foundation for Children, Community and Family) in order to support the acquisition of hardware for the underprivileged children in FRCCF’s community centers. Donations included both money and supplies provided by Fortech team members - computers, printers, clothes, toys.
Furthermore, Fortech also sustained FRCCF’s initiative in breaking the Guinness Book record on asphalt drawings. Themed ‘Smile of a Child’, the event was held on the 1st of June (the International Children's Day) and several Fortech team members volunteered to supervise and help the children with their drawings. 

  • Community Sponsorship

Thinking about the community, Fortech took up actions of financing a children’s house, the construction of an elderly home, and schools in participating in various IT contests.

 
 
  • Go Green!

The Fortech team initiated a recycling campaign process as part of the overall determination to make a difference in environmental problems and business processes. So far, the team recycles paper and batteries.

  • Sport Sponsorship

In 2007, Fortech sponsored the local volleyball men’s team “U” Cluj in all their competitions.

  • Local Software Association Sponsorship

Together with the Group for Free Software, Fortech was actively involved in sustaining events and activities directly related to promoting open-source software. The most relevant were Documents Freedom Day, centered on discussing the two main solutions for open documents: ODF (OpenOffice.org and Google Docs) and OOXML (the future versions of Microsoft Office) and the Ubuntu 8.04 - Release Party.
