Corporate Social Responsibility

At Catalyst, we’re passionate about creating immersive XR experiences — and equally committed to creating a positive impact on the world. Guided by a triple bottom line approach of People, Planet, and Profit, we strive to balance innovation in immersive technology with social and environmental responsibility.

People
We foster a diverse and inclusive workplace that offers fair wages, flexible working conditions, and opportunities for personal and professional development. As a leading XR studio in Sydney, we actively support small businesses and freelancers in the technology and creative industries, helping to grow a thriving local ecosystem. In 2023, for example, we partnered with a local coding bootcamp to offer scholarships for underrepresented minorities.

Planet
We are committed to minimising our environmental footprint by adopting sustainable practices, including energy-efficient hardware, responsible use of cloud infrastructure, and a focus on reusing, recycling, and repurposing materials wherever possible.

Profit
We believe in sustainable growth that benefits everyone. This includes creating meaningful employment opportunities for our staff, freelancers, and contractors, while paying our fair share of corporate taxes. Beyond business transactions, we actively support local startups and entrepreneurs by offering recommendations, introductions, and social engagement — and we regularly provide services on a contra or discounted basis to strengthen our community.

Created by Catalyst

Founded in Sydney, Australia, Catalyst VR quickly expanded as demand for immersive technology solutions grew worldwide. With more projects and clients across Europe, we opened a UK office to better serve international partners.
