Managing Responsibly: Environment, Social and Governance (ESG)

Sustainability is essential for SUSE to enable and drive open and secure innovation everywhere. SUSE’s ESG strategy is central to our business and our sustainable growth. Through it we create shared value for our customers, partners, employees, communities and investors.

Our ESG Vision

Our ESG vision is to drive real impact around societal and environmental topics of importance to our stakeholders. We continue to strengthen our ESG activities and create value for our stakeholders.

01
Leadership Commitment
  • The ESG function is accountable to SUSE's executive leadership team and board of directors.
  • ESG vision and strategy are supported by group-level goals; and ESG metrics linked to our remuneration. 
02
Employee Engagement
  • Four employee networks (GoGreen, Women in Technology, Pride @ SUSE, Open Source Community Citizens) engage employees and provide a space to share common interests, fostering inclusiveness and community at all levels.
  • SUSE promotes volunteerism as each employee gets one paid day per year to volunteer, with recognition for their community service.
03
Partnering for Impact
  • SUSE partners with charities with external organizations to drive sustainable and social impact for our stakeholders.
  • For example, we partner with Eden Reforestation Projects, a global non-profit organization, to plant trees, reduce deforestation, and restore communities in Madagascar.

Our Focus Areas

Our focus areas are guided by United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and defined based on the materiality assessment we conducted in the fiscal year 2021. We continue to make progress in delivering our goals for each focus area, demonstrated by independent ESG ratings.

Employees

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) and employee engagement and well-being are key priorities for SUSE. We want all our people to feel supported by our unique and vibrant culture, as that ensures everyone at SUSE can bring their authentic selves to work.
