Maxibit’s committed dedication to CSR
Responsible Business Practice
We believe that to run a successful company today, we have to consider more than just 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 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.
“A responsible and profitable business is based on financial factors as well as ethical considerations. If we want to create sutainable business we have to be on the forefront, thinking beyond profit, and strive for more social imperatives. The Environment is central to our strategy.”
Christian Ahlberg, CEO, Maxibit Worldwide AB.

Maxibit’s contribution to the 1% back program
Contributions to a good cause
As of January 2008, Maxibit started the Maxibit 1 % Percent Back Program. Maxibit is committed to give one percent of its net profit to non-profit, environmental and humanitarian organisations.
Supported organisations
In the spirit of this program we decided to support World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), and SOS Children’s Villages’ who works to give orphaned children in poor countries a chance for a better life.
The importance of the program
By contributing to these kinds of organisations, we make a small but important difference in our society. We believe that by contributing to environmental and humanitarian causes, our company and staff are stronger, prouder and more efficient.
World Wide Fund for Nature
World Wide Fund for Nature is dedicated to stop the degradation of the planet’s natural environment and to build a future in which humans live in harmony with nature. WWF does this by:
- conserving the world’s biological diversity
- ensuring that the use of renewable natural resources is sustainable
- promoting the reduction of pollution and wasteful consumption
