Our Values

Codex is proud to be a values-driven organisation.
Our values are behind everything we do at Codex: they influence our decision-making; they define our target market; and ultimately, they guide the way we engage with our people, clients and community.

Empathy

Be able to help our people, clients and community, by first understanding their problems.

At Codex, empathy is our compass. We lead with empathy in every situation. It is the core lens we apply when considering our people, clients and community. It is only through first understanding them, their stakeholders and their key issues, that we can best serve them, providing solutions to their highest priority problems.

Sustainability

Be part of the change we want to see in our industry, community and environment.

Our dedication to sustainability at Codex extends beyond environmental and social awareness. Codex was founded with sustainability as our core focus and priority. We operate for impact, for profit; never prioritising financial gain over sustainability. Codex, along with all of our people, client deliverables and organisational initiatives, will be a part of the change that we want to see in our industry, community and natural environment.

Authenticity

Be empowered to stand up for ourselves, our values, and each other.

We act with the courage of our convictions. It is vital that our people are empowered to be the best version of themselves, supported by our values and each other. We encourage our people to embrace their diversity and differences in background, culture, experiences and education. We value individuals who contribute diverse perspectives, fostering a collaborative environment where open dialogue and fresh ideas thrive, and the best idea wins.

Our Impact

Codex is a for-impact, for-profit organisation.

We don’t think that profit should be a dirty word, but our success is only measured by financial metrics second to our positive impact on our people, clients and community.

We pride ourselves on delivering meaningful impact for value-aligned organisations, in industries that are integral to a sustainable, prosperous and inclusive future. It’s by no accident that Codex primarily works with clients in Aged Care, Financial Services, Government, Not-for-profit, Technology, Manufacturing, Health, Fitness & Wellness, and Utilities. These industries are the foundation for economic, environmental and social progress.

B-Corp

Codex has been working towards certification with B Corp, the gold standard in sustainability certification. B Corp Certification is a designation that a business is meeting high standards of verified performance, accountability and transparency, on factors from employee benefits and charitable giving, to supply chain practices and input materials. Certification is holistic, not exclusively focused on a single social or environmental issue, and implements sustainability considerations at all levels of the business, ensuring intentions and initiatives are impactful and long-lasting. We are excited to secure B Corp Certification in FY24.

Reconciliation Action Plan

Codex has been working with Reconciliation Australia to draft and implement our first Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP). RAPs enable organisations to sustainably and strategically take meaningful action to advance reconciliation. Based around the core pillars of relationships, respect and opportunities, RAPs provide tangible and substantive benefits for First Nations peoples. We look forward to implementing our first RAP, a Reflect RAP, in FY24.

Misio

Codex has been collaborating with sustainability start-up Misio, an innovative platform that brings transparency and visibility to corporate sustainability reporting.

Community Initiatives

World Ocean Day
Codex orchestrates beach cleanups in at-risk coastal areas in the communities within which we operate, to help protect our oceans for World Ocean Day.

FareShare Kitchen
Codex supports those in need through corporate volunteering at Australia’s largest charity kitchens, helping prepare meals with surplus food.

Plant-a-Tree Days
Codex runs annual Plant-A-Tree days, contributing to the restoration of crucial biodiversity regions in the communities within which we operate.

Pro-bono Commitments

Assembly of Elephants

Brisbane-based consultancy Codex rescued us. They took on the problem pro bono. We had a product, we thought we had a market, but we needed a delivery method – a way to market, sell and distribute the full digital capture and related materials. Codex created a full-service digital platform that answered all of these needs and folded it into the Assembly of Elephants website. The site is elegant, streamlined; it speaks to the kind of work we make and the sense of joy we think live performance brings. It has been made with great care, thoughtful consideration and meticulous attention to detail.

Girls from Oz

Girls from Oz (g-oz) is a not-for-profit delivering Performing Arts programs in remote and regional communities. We believe in the value of Performing Arts participation for all children and teenagers but our purpose is specifically to engage Aboriginal adolescent and teenage girls in Halls Creek, Bidyadanga and Carnarvon in WA and Lockhart River and Kowanyama in QLD. While we are small we’re fortunate to have a wonderful community of supporters, one of whom works in the HR department at Codex! We’re so grateful to Megan for her digital transformation match-making.

From our first meeting with Julian, Nicholas, Jason and Nat we knew we were onto a great thing. Codex offered to transform our donor CRM came at exactly the right time and their offer to support g-oz by doing the work pro bono was a generosity we couldn’t have imagined. Once the discovery was underway we saw more and more ways that this work would positively impact our organisation. We worked closely with Jason and Nat and were so impressed by the way they questioned us about our organisation and needs, played everything back to us with such clarity and nutted out ways to achieve our aims in the system we’d chosen. The 55 page Discovery Report that they presented us at the end of many weeks of work included recommendations about the migration of our data, the integration of other platforms and automated workflows as well as roadmaps, timelines and personas. We couldn’t have asked for more.

The solution that Codex created for us has the obvious benefits of enhancing our donor relations, making our communications more personal and more efficient and offering data insights that will help us hone our fundraising strategy. But importantly the benefits don’t stop there. The project they have completed for us and the efficiencies they have achieved enable those of us working in the organisation to focus on the other things we do; the activities that directly and positively impact the Aboriginal children and teenaged girls who are, after all, our primary beneficiaries.
