Corporate responsibility
Respect for the Individual
Our relationships with associates (employees), customers and business partners are guided by the company’s philosophy of “Respect for the Individual.” As envisioned by our company’s founders, this philosophy leads us to value and respect the unique contributions of each individual.
Portways seeks to create an environment in which each associate’s ambitions and abilities can be developed, as well as a workplace where an individual’s potential can be actively realized. Accordingly, we are committed to ensuring that each person involved in the development, production, distribution, sale and service of our products is treated with dignity and respect, and has a meaningful opportunity to contribute to the company’s success.
Human Rights
The respect for human rights is an extension of our philosophy of “Respect for the Individual,” which centers on initiative, equality and trust. As part of our effort to conduct business in an ethical manner, we will not engage in business practices or activities that compromise fundamental human rights.
Sustainability
We all share the same planet, so we’re working hard to lessen our impact on the environment through best practice and innovation.
Carbon footprint
We’re working to reduce the carbon footprint created by our offices through initiatives such as:
- Recycling
- Centralized printing
- LED and censored lighting
- Paperless office practices
- Car sharing
- Maximizing natural light
- Limiting unnecessary employee travel

We are proud of the many partnerships we have established with non-profit organizations that share our value of community involvement.
Commitment to Principles
In adhering to the above principles, Portways seeks to communicate its commitment to its customers, associates, suppliers, employees, other business partners, and to the communities in which we live and work. Further, we expect that any party conducting business with Portways will embrace and uphold these principles to the best of their ability.
