Corporate Social Responsibility

Our CSR Commitment

At Cherished Book, our mission is to create a compassionate digital space where families and friends can collaboratively preserve memories and celebrate lives, while contributing positively to society and the environment.

Four-Pillar CSR Framework

1. Community Support

We are dedicated to supporting grief, remembrance, and digital inclusion. We do this by:

• Providing grief support resources and educational content on mourning.
• Maintaining a free tier so there is no financial barrier to remembrance.
• Designing an intuitive platform to support users with limited digital literacy.

2. Environmental Responsibility

We are minimizing our environmental impact and working toward carbon neutrality. Our goals include:

• Operating our core origin servers on solar power.
• Partnering with green technology providers like Cloudflare and Google Cloud.
• Achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2026.

3. Ethical Business Practices

We operate with integrity, transparency, and fairness across all our dealings:

• Data Protection: Full data ownership by users and strict privacy practices. We never sell your data.
• Fair Labor: Paying all direct employees and contractors at or above the UK Real Living Wage, and ensuring a diverse and inclusive workplace.
• Supply Chain: Enforcing strict due diligence, as detailed in our Modern Slavery Statement.

4. Innovation for Good

We use technology to create positive social impact:

• Designing with accessibility in mind (targeting WCAG 2.1 AA compliance).
• Sharing our knowledge and practices openly.
• Providing a platform that supports community causes and charitable fundraising.
