Environmental, Social and Governance

SUSE builds upon the strengths of our people, shares through corporate philanthropy, and aspires to positively impact the environment.

Open Source and ESG

Open source, by definition, transcends boundaries and individual limitations by leveraging the Power of Many. SUSE’s open source business model goes beyond the enablement of customer innovation.

It is based on Environmental, Social and Governance values, drawing on the Power of Many for the benefit of all. Open source and commitment to making the world a better place are both in SUSE’s DNA.

We want to drive real impact around societal and environmental topics that matter to SUSE and our external stakeholders. To get there, we focus on strong leadership, employee engagement and strategic external partnerships.

SUSE has a strong sustainability vision, leadership commitment, and is a purpose-driven organization that is already making real impact.

Our open source business model is based on ESG values encompassed by engagement of our employees.

We have a strong sense of commitment to society and the environment

Philanthropy is a core part of SUSE’s ESG agenda. As such, we offer all employees one volunteer day a year to support causes around the world that are meaningful to them. We also enable employees to donate to their select philanthropic causes through a dedicated corporate philanthropy program, SUSEcares.
