NEWBURY, England, April 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Micro Focus
(LSE: MCRO; NYSE: MFGP) today launched Micro Focus INSPIRE, a
global Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program designed to
cover multiple aspects of what it means to be a socially and
environmentally responsible global enterprise. The program covers
key elements from how Micro Focus manages its relationships with
employees, suppliers and customers, to how the company can use its
presence in the market to help positively impact the communities
within which it serves. All, with the goal of helping
employees, partners and communities get access to the right skills
to thrive in the continually evolving digital future.
In line with Micro Focus INSPIRE's principles and in recognition
of the current climate, Micro Focus is pleased to announce that all
sponsorship dollars for its upcoming North American flagship
virtual customer event will be donated to charities supporting the
fight against COVID-19. Micro Focus will combine sponsorship funds
with company funds to support local charities helping to support
their local communities.
"Every company has the opportunity to make a difference, not
just to the lives of their own employees by creating an inclusive
and empowering work environment, but also to the communities in
which they live and work," said Genefa Murphy, CMO at Micro Focus.
"At Micro Focus we believe that by upholding the highest ethical
standards and conducting business responsibly for our employees,
our clients, our supply chain and the environment, we will have the
opportunity to help shape societal change through our
business."
Micro Focus INSPIRE represents the company's commitment to
making a positive impact in the world, focusing on all forms of
social awareness. From supporting basic education in developing
countries and nurturing digital skills in advanced economies, to
social mobility and overall inclusion and diversity. Micro
Focus' aim is to enhance the lives of those it serves.
As the world grapples with COVID-19, Micro Focus and its
employees have found ways to contribute and help make a
difference:
- Micro Focus will combine sponsorship and company funds from
Micro Focus Universe to support local charities in the fight
against COVID-19.
- To empower employees to further help and support their local
communities impacted by COVID-19, Micro Focus has
added two further volunteering days for each employee in
addition to the two that were already available.
- Employees in India
collectively decided to raise donations through a voluntary
contribution program via their April salary. Together, 3,000+
employees raised over $20,000, which
will be donated to The Prime Minister's Citizen Assistance and
Relief in Emergency Situations Fund (PM CARES Fund) and used for
combating, containment and relief efforts against the COVID-19
outbreak and similar pandemic-like situations in the future.
- In partnership with Micro Focus, Whitlock Infrastructure
Solutions will be making a donation to Operation Homefront to help
those military families impacted by the effects of COVID-19.
Operation Homefront is a US-based, non-profit whose mission is to
build strong, stable, and secure military families so they can
thrive in the communities they have worked hard to protect.
Micro Focus's CSR program has five key pillars, which help shape
behaviours, decision-making, and culture across the enterprise. The
five pillars of Micro Focus INSPIRE are: Employees, Marketplace,
Ethics & Values, Environment & Sustainability and Community
& Social Impact.
- The commitment to employees and treating
them with respect and offering a great place to work

- The commitment to ethics & values and doing
business the right way with trust and integrity
- The commitment to environment & sustainability
reducing our environmental impact
- The commitment to community & social impact helping
to equip communities with the skills to thrive in the digital
future
Micro Focus INSPIRE is a clear signal that the company is
committed to improving the welfare of its extended communities.
Micro Focus intends to embed the program into the culture of the
company by empowering employees and helping them understand the
role the company can collectively play to help ensure social
responsibility and drive change.
