Unit4 awarded EcoVadis bronze medal in recognition of sustainability achievement
Last October, we launched our new approach to social responsibility and sustainability. We set our goals, mobilized our people, and rolled up our sleeves to increase our sustainability score by 60% over the course of 12 months!
We are proud to have been awarded our Bronze Ecovadis certification, The World's Most Trusted Business Sustainability Ratings. The success we were able to achieve within just a few months is testament to our commitment to sustainability. Being in the early stages of our sustainability journey continuously fuels our will to act now and improve our social and environmental performance.
Our approach focused on health and well-being, education and environmental sustainability is aligned to the world’s best plan for a better future: UN Sustainable development goals. Commitment to this journey and always striving to do good for both people and planet is part of our company culture. That’s why we signed up to the UN Global Compact as a participant, enabling access to best practices and guidance so we can continue to develop and strengthen our actions.
Our most notable successes so far include:
- Our Unit4 forests, with close to 4000 trees planted together with our employees and customers.
- More than 500 people gave their time to support charities over the past year as a result of our Act4Good community, making use of our 1% of time policy to volunteer, fundraise and engage in company-based challenges that contribute towards social and environmental causes.
- We also brought to life our partnership with iamtheCODE, mainly through a mentoring program, where more than 50 of our people mentor girls in refugees camps in Kakuma, Kenya to help them grow through encouragement and support.
For us sustainability is not a goal to be achieved, it is a journey, and we are looking forward to writing the next chapter.
