Caring about people, diversity and the environment

We believe in investing in knowledge and education and that, as a company, we should have a positive impact on society to shape a brighter future for all, both inside and outside the workplace. Among other things, we do so through our Environmental Vision 2030, which we set our sights on in 2020. Here, we study what we as an organisation can do to minimise our environmental impact. Our goal is for our operations to achieve net zero emissions by 2030.

We always strive for growth and development, both for our customers and employees. The best way to achieve this is a thriving, diverse, transparent and inclusive workplace that encourages participation. It is our conviction that innovative solutions are born when people from different backgrounds and with different experiences come together. To become even better at this, we collaborate with Mitt Liv, a company that has been working to promote diversity and inclusion in the labour market since 2008. Together with Mitt Liv, we have defined relevant diversity and inclusion goals for our group companies.

Gender equality is a natural element of diversity, hence our involvement in Femmegineering by Sigma, an initiative to inspire girls and women to choose a career in engineering, thereby improving the gender balance in the sector. We have arranged a number of events during the year for women in the tech industry at which we have discussed this subject. Our next step is to reach a younger audience with inspirational role models.

Caring for the world around us is also important and for many years now, through the non-profit organisation Star for Life we have sponsored Dlilanga High School, a rural school with over 800 pupils in the South African province KwaZulu-Natal.
