Oracle Earth week Celebration, with many volunteers in action for a better world is also an opportunity to request more from the company best assets - to make a better world.
CFDT, CGC, CGT, Oracle Labor Unions requestsworldwide free licencing of the Oracle software towards the healthcare non-profit organisations.
Why not offering the best software to save life or prevent people from beeing harmed ?
Health care institutions, Genetic diseases foundations deserves more empowerment from Oracle than just encouraging employees to take on their personal time to take telethon phone calls once a year.
We feel that the public sector and the non profit organisation could benefit the scalability, parallelisation capabilities, analytical datamining features of Oracle Software - For the best of mankind, and the honor of the company.
Let's remind that Oracle had a non GAAP Operating Margin of 44%, reaching 3.9 Billion dollars for a single last quarter.

Oracle Board Opposes Sustainability Proposal
Behind the scene, marketing stuff, green washing, the hard facts are very clear about Oracle's commitments regarding environmental responsability. Positive action is hardly ever taken, and there is still very few information regarding Oracle CO2 emissions and compensations.
The internal green programs seem to be there just as a tick-box for the responsability annual report, and would definitly benefit a more ambitious developpement under direct Board Control.
Corporate guidance is mandatory to move on, but we face a no-way.

Let's sacrifice some revenue...
.. for more margin. I strongly recommand this informationweek article, dedicated to IBM, which so much explains our multinational companies behaviours.
Regarding Oracle, we could extrapolate towards :
- Kill/Purchase competitors... for less competition
- Kill consulting for less revenue reckon problems
- Continue Western countries employees layoff until significant hit on margin.

Oracle & Communities - Still a lot to do
Well, we should be glad Oracle continues the emergency investments in the communities, and offering a donation match from its employees concerned by the Haiti Disaster Relief. However.
Too bad, the funding is limited to 1 Millions USD, making roughly a maximum of 10 USD per employee.
But why wouldn't Oracle show the community investment by laying done a corporate 1 million USD donation, and then appealing for extra funding though its employees.
This still sounds very limited, taking the full 2008 number of 8,5 millions USD in Oracle Donations.
And by the way, did you try to make a donation ?
You'll be asked to move to the United States, as a US State is a mandatory field in your adress !

Sharing the code of ethics goals
The FR Works council is beeing consulted on the code of Ethics and Business Conduct to be implemented in France. This code should be fully enforceable towards employees.
The exposed principles are quite legitimate as they define what a responsible employee in a responsible company should do.
Responsible company ?
We face very opaque compliance protocols, as employee reps cannot control the ethics alerts nor allow any investigation rights on non compliances issues.
The company refuses to answer any questions regarding offshore operations, non compliance alerts.
Very strict SEC requierements are to be enforced to guarantee governance rules in terms of corruption, local law compliance, fair treatement and reporting.
We feel the lack of a World Wide Employee Works council independant control is a very important flaw, and we feel dangerous operations could still be conducted, "under the radar screen" in confined areas of huge corporations like Oracle.
Let's not forget Delaware, Cayman Islands, Mauritus, Luxembourg operations actually beeing run by Oracle - Who is in charge of controlling what's been done there ?
Are shareholders and employees to be proud of those covert operations ?
CFDT Oracle Labor union requests a worldwide employee governance model that enforces long term operations, fully compliant in any area of the company.
You want discuss, you have doubts about ethics management, you wish to submit a whisleblowing alert thought us, we'll help.
