Mission and commitments

This page sets out the mission of ASIMUT software and the commitments that guide how the company works. The mission and commitments are approved by the company's ownership, and the company's management is accountable for upholding them across the company's policies and practices.

Mission

ASIMUT software exists to strengthen higher education in the arts. By giving arts institutions the best possible platform for collaborative planning, ASIMUT software helps students, faculty and staff spend less time on logistics and more time making, teaching and learning art, and helps institutions make full and efficient use of their facilities.

Human rights

ASIMUT software is committed to respecting internationally recognized human rights, as set out in the International Bill of Human Rights and the International Labour Organization's Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, and to acting in line with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.

As a provider of software used by students, faculty and staff at institutions of higher education in the arts, ASIMUT software recognizes that its most significant human rights responsibilities concern:

• Privacy and data protection: the ASIMUT software solution processes personal data on behalf of client institutions. ASIMUT software protects this data in line with the GDPR and its independently audited information security framework, and never uses it for purposes other than those agreed with its clients.
• Non-discrimination and accessibility: fair treatment of all people and software that is accessible to all users, as set out under Diversity and inclusion.
• Fair working conditions: all employees have written employment contracts and fair pay, and work in an environment free from discrimination and harassment, in line with Danish law and the company's staff handbook.
• Responsible business relationships: ASIMUT software expects its suppliers and partners to respect human rights and seeks to work with established providers that share this commitment.

This commitment applies to ASIMUT software's own operations and its relationships with clients, users, suppliers and partners.

Diversity and inclusion

ASIMUT software is committed to justice, equity, diversity and inclusion in its operations, in the development of its software and in its relationships with clients, users and the wider community. The company regards diversity as a strength and actively seeks a multicultural team able to meet each client on its own terms, wherever it is located. Colleagues, clients, users and partners are treated fairly and with respect, regardless of background or identity. The ASIMUT software solution is developed to be accessible to all users, including users with disabilities, and has been assessed against the WCAG accessibility standards.

Lobbying and political contributions

ASIMUT software does not engage in lobbying, directly or through intermediary organizations, and does not make financial or in-kind contributions to political parties, candidates or campaigns. Should this change, ASIMUT software will publish a responsible lobbying policy before engaging in any lobbying activity.
