SoftwareOne Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Program
SoftwareOne ESG Program – Driving sustainable impact
Our Environmental, Social, and Governance Program
SoftwareOne is a global company committed to being environmentally and socially responsible. Our environmental, social and governance (ESG) program aims to have a positive impact on people within our organization and in the communities where we operate, and lessen our negative impact on the environment, all while improving our organizational ethics.
ESG Reporting
The progress of our ESG program and success of our various ESG initiatives are described in our latest annual report.
The annual report outlines our vision for a more sustainable future and the steps we are taking to make this a reality.
SoftwareOne identifies four key pillars where we concentrate our efforts to drive the most impactful positive changes for the environment and society.
Environment
Reducing our global carbon emissions is a key ambition. Through our annual greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory, we measure our carbon footprint. We have set near-term science-based targets validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
Services and Solutions
We offer cloud services and solutions that help our customers minimize their carbon footprint while optimizing their IT spend. Through SoftwareOne Impact, we equip non-profit organizations with the software and technology services they need to achieve their missions and create positive change.
Social
Community outreach activities and efforts to create an inclusive culture, provide a sense of purpose and pride internally, and contribute to thriving communities externally.
Governance
Establishing and maintaining best-in-class ethics, compliance, data privacy and cybersecurity systems and infrastructure is our hallmark as an IT company. Integrity is, and always will be, a core value at SoftwareOne. We strive to protect and enable our employees to prioritize compliance.
Our Senior Leadership's Take on ESG
“At SoftwareOne, we recognize that ESG is not just a corporate responsibility – it is fundamental to our long-term success and industry leadership. SoftwareOne’s journey towards a more sustainable future is a collective effort. We are grateful for the dedication of our employees, the trust of our clients and partners, and the support of our stakeholders as we continue to advance our ESG initiatives.” – Raphael Erb, Co-CEO
Cloud sustainability enables our customers to reduce their carbon footprint by providing environmental impact data for cloud solutions and application services.
Cloud sustainability emphasizes resource optimization, resulting in customer-specific cloud solutions that are cost appropriate and have a proportionate carbon footprint.
Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB)
DEIB is a key priority for SoftwareOne – we have defined ability, gender, ethnicity, social mobility, and LGBTQIA+ as our five pillars of diversity. We are also conscious of the intersectionality of these dimensions of diversity.
SoftwareOne supports employee-led global and regional employee resource groups (ERGs). Our ERGs are dedicated to representing our workforce and the diverse communities and identities within SoftwareOne, in line with our DEIB pillars and organizational goals.
SoftwareOne Gives Back
SoftwareOne Gives Back is our global initiative that supports community development through corporate charitable giving and employee volunteering. Through this program, we make a positive impact in the communities where we live and work.
