Environment, social and governance at SD Worx
At SD Worx, we actively seek to incorporate the UN Sustainable Development Goals into our organisation’s activities, mainly contributing to SDG 8, ‘Decent work and economic growth’ through our HR solutions. Learn all about our initiatives in our ESG report ‘Letting people spark’.
Letting people spark
Every decade brings its own challenges and opportunities, but this decade got off to a particularly peculiar start. Needless to say, the challenges have been plenty, ranging from a global pandemic to exploding data. In light of that volatile business environment, it’s easy to forget that opportunities are abundant as well. The only way to seize them is by creating a sustainable workforce.
A sustainable workforce, however, is a bit of catch-all concept. It includes strong engagement, personal well-being, strength-based careers, forward-looking recruitment, dedicated talent management and diverse teams. And if you open up the concept, it also means taking care of the environment and communities your people live in, as well as managing your business wisely, so your people will still have meaningful jobs tomorrow.
Does all of that sound ambitious? It is, but we consider it the only way forward. After all, to quote a widely-known proverb: ‘You don’t build a business. You build people and then people build the business.’ The success that stems from this approach will reflect on the whole SD Worx community: our employees, our customers, our partners … and probably you as well.

Diversity and inclusion
Our ambition is to act as one company and capitalise on our international presence. It is essential that we show respect towards each other, give trust and care. Diversity is the cornerstone of all our corporate value statements. It is the crucial basis for a more creative, agile, and balanced environment where it is fun to work.
Planet
Our ecological footprint is rather limited. The operation of our buildings, which use energy and water and generate waste, and our fleet constitute the greatest environmental impact. As a result, our sustainability and ecological efforts revolve around our facilities and our fleet. We consistently work to reduce our resource consumption and emissions through targeted actions based on regular measurements, but in 2021 most of our offices were closed or much less staffed due to the rise in remote working.
Profit
SD Worx grows and generates profit in a sustainable and ethically responsible manner. A portion of our profits is reinvested in both the community and providing the best possible support for our people.
