Six Seconds Social Policies

Our Commitment to Ethical Leadership and Social Responsibility

At Six Seconds, our mission is to cultivate a world where emotional intelligence empowers individuals and communities to thrive. As a global 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, we recognize that our actions have a profound impact—not only on those we serve but on society as a whole. This responsibility drives us to uphold the highest standards of ethical leadership, social responsibility, and human dignity in everything we do.

Our social policies are a reflection of our deep commitment to these principles, and they are guided by our Standards of Practice. These standards define our code of ethics as an organization, ensuring that our operations, partnerships, and programs align with our core values of respect, inclusivity, and sustainability. Together, these policies and standards guide our actions, inform our decision-making, and help us create a positive and lasting impact on the world.

Why We Have These Policies

  1. Integrity and Accountability: We believe in conducting our work with transparency, fairness, and integrity. Our Standards of Practice and accompanying social policies provide a comprehensive framework for maintaining ethical standards and upholding the trust placed in us by our global community. We are committed to being accountable to our stakeholders and ensuring that all our activities are carried out with the highest ethical standards.

  2. Promoting Human Rights and Equality: Central to our mission is the belief that every individual deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. Our Human Rights Policy and related social policies affirm our commitment to protecting and promoting the rights of all people, with a focus on underserved and marginalized communities. By integrating these principles into our work, we ensure that our programs contribute to a more just and equitable world.

  3. Fostering a Safe and Inclusive Environment: We are dedicated to creating environments where everyone feels safe, valued, and included. Our policies on Harassment, Discrimination, and Retaliation Prevention and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion ensure that our workplace and programs are free from discrimination, providing equal opportunities for all individuals to participate fully and fairly. These efforts are rooted in our commitment to inclusivity as outlined in our Standards of Practice.

  4. Environmental Responsibility: We recognize the importance of environmental stewardship and are committed to minimizing our impact on the planet. Our Environmental Sustainability Policy outlines our efforts to reduce our carbon footprint and operate sustainably, reflecting our responsibility to future generations. This policy is aligned with our ethical commitment to sustainability as articulated in our Standards of Practice.

  5. Supporting Social Impact and Community Engagement: Our mission is inherently tied to social impact. Our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Policy details our dedication to supporting social causes, engaging with communities, and contributing to the greater good. These efforts are a direct extension of the ethical principles we uphold through our Standards of Practice.

Together, these policies and our Standards of Practice form the foundation of our commitment to social responsibility. They ensure that we not only achieve our mission of fostering emotional intelligence but do so in a way that is ethical, inclusive, and sustainable.
