SPS PODCAST: DISCOVER OUR ESG EPISODES
From ideas to facts: OUR 5 ESG PILLARS
1. EMPLOYEES
Our people are the key to our success Acting as a socially responsible employer is about providing a working environment that promotes individual performance within wider, shared team efforts. It means enabling a good balance between work and other important facets of life, such as rest and creativity.
It is also about making our workplace safe and welcoming for everyone. We are inclusive of people of all faiths, nationalities, and backgrounds, and we do not tolerate any form of discrimination. We stand for fair, attractive, and economically sustainable employment conditions
2. DIVERSITY & INCLUSION
We believe in equality of opportunity and SPS is an equal opportunity employer. SPS prohibits discrimination, harassment, and workplace bullying, and promotes respect for co-workers, business partners, and other stakeholders.
As a global organization with over 8,000 employees in more than 20 countries we foster a diverse culture, be it in terms of cultural background or age. On a global basis, SPS’ employees are 49% female, 48% male and 3% other genders. Some 36% of our leadership roles are occupied by women. We also focus on the Leadership diversity, Equal opportunities, Unconscious bias and diversity networks.
3. BUSINESS ETHICS
Integrity is at the core of our business operations, as it shapes our reputation, strength, and our clients’ confidence in our activities. We firmly believe that acting with integrity is not only the right thing to do but also crucial for long-term success. To ensure the adherence to ethical standards, we have implemented global policies such as our comprehensive Code of Conduct, which applies to all employees.
We hold our partners and suppliers to the same ethical standards we follow and we do not engage in business with entities that fail to meet these standards or compromise ethical practices.
4. ENVIRONMENT
As a highly digitalised, service-based company, we have a relatively lower CO₂ footprint compared to many other businesses. Nonetheless, we are committed to reducing our own emissions and supporting our clients in doing the same.
To measure our emissions, SPS uses Tracera, a carbon accounting platform based on the Greenhouse Gas Protocol. This enables us to examine our supply chain and implement targeted CO₂ reduction strategies.
Our approach is guided by Science Based Targets (SBTi), ensuring our actions are data-driven and aligned with global climate goals through five key steps: measure, analyse, reduce, engage and report.
5. Privacy and Data Security
Our investment in cybersecurity helps us, and the organizations we serve, ensure we are compliant with all relevant regulations and that we are constantly and verifiably improving. The Cybersecurity Team advises not only our colleagues but also our customers on what are the best possible alternatives on how to protect our, and their, data. When we speak about personal identifiable information (PII), we make sure that all our activities in relation with data processing are compliant with the data protection requirements applicable.
We believe in creating a sense of safety alongside innovation, for our employees, our clients, and the wider communities we serve. We commit to being good guardians of our people, our data, and our planet.
