Key Pillars
Our strategy is guided by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and defined based on a double materiality assessment we conducted in 2024. Under each pillar, we establish key action plans, set KPIs, and develop policies to manage risk and amplify opportunities for impact. Executive sponsors guide our strategy while holding us accountable.
Environment
We apply a scientific approach to climate action by decarbonizing our business and value chain while delivering energy-efficient products and solutions. We set ambitious goals backed by strong stakeholder participation and aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
Social
Our people are at the core of everything that we do. Diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), employee engagement and wellbeing are key priorities for SUSE. We want all our people to feel supported by our unique and vibrant culture to ensure that everyone at SUSE can bring their authentic selves to work. Find out more about our people here.
