Responsible Business Practice
We believe that to run a successful company today, we have to consider more than just the company's financial gain. Our generation will have an enormous impact on what the future will be like for the following generations.
Together we have the power to make the necessary changes in our business practice for a better world. We need to tackle corruption, forced labour, child workers and other human rights issues. This work combined with a greater care for a sustainable environment will help ensure a better place for all humans, animal species and plant life.
Let us stop wasteful consumption, pollution and the suffering of our fellow habitants.
"A responsible and profitable business is based on financial factors as well as ethical considerations."
Christian Ahlberg, CEO, Maxibit Worldwide AB.Calculate your environmental footprint »Continuous Improvement
We work continuously to minimize the environmental impact of our product life cycle. This means we are always looking for more environmentally friendly materials for both the production process as well as the recycling process. However there is always room for improvement so we welcome all ideas of how to improve our work even more. If you have an idea, send us an e-mail

We work by three simple philosophies:
UN Global Compact
We joined UN Global Compact in 2007, as the first company in the portable marketing industry. Global Compact's ten guiding principles regarding human rights, labour standards, environment and anti-corruption are paralleled by Maxibit's own core values.
We are committed to follow Global Compact's principles and to spread the word of the importance of doing business with respect to these guidelines. The ten principles stress the need for a greater sense of corporate social responsibility in today's more liberalised and free market place.

UN Global Compact web site.
The Ten Principles:
- Business should support and respect the protection of internationally proclaimed human rights
- Business should make sure they are not complicit in human rights issues
- Business should uphold the freedom of association and the effective recognition of the right of collective bargaining
- The elimination of all forms of forced and compulsary labour
- The effective abolition of child labour
- The elimination of discrimination of employment and occupation
- Business should support a precautionary approach to environmental challenges
- Undertake initiatives to promote greater environmental responsibility
- Encourage the development and diffusion of environmentally friendly technologies
- Business should work against corruption in all its forms, including extortion and bribery
