Today’s market is disrupted by accelerating climate change, growing inequality, geopolitical tensions, and technological advances.
Sutherland is built on the shared understanding of the importance of the planet, people, and prosperity. That’s why we encourage our customers, employees, investors, and regulators to be accountable for carbon emission reduction targets, to ensure equity in the workplace, and to follow through on the promise of ethical corporate governance.
Corporate citizenship starts with our company’s value system and a principles-based approach to doing business. This means operating in ways that meet fundamental responsibilities in the areas of human rights, labor, environment and anti-corruption.
Sutherland has been a signatory of the UN Global Compact since April 30, 2015, incorporating its Ten Principles into strategies, policies and procedures, and establishing a culture of integrity that not only upholds our basic responsibilities to people and planet, but also sets the stage for long-term success.
Devoted to Communities, the Environment, and Ethical Behavior
At Sutherland, we integrate sustainability into all operations to positively impact our planet, ensuring we are building a sustainable future for all.
People and Community
As a human-centric company, Sutherland realizes the power to enact social change and become an active force for good through our employees and the communities where we operate.
We’re making commitments to follow through with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs). Critical to our citizenship mission are SDGs #8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth) and #10 (Reduced Inequalities). This means sustaining dignified social standards for every community we touch (employees, customers, and suppliers) as the only way to coexist and spread prosperity.
Corporate Citizens Program
As Corporate Citizens, our purpose is to positively impact lives in the communities where we operate by removing barriers to sustainable employment and offsetting negative environmental impact.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
Diverse and inclusive global talent drives meaningful outcomes for clients, communities and Sutherland itself. We create a work environment in which all employees feel valued, respected and included. A place where people are empowered to do their best work and bring great ideas to the table.
Occupational Health & Safety
We believe that providing a safe workplace and establishing safe work behaviors is essential to making our workplace and the community around us healthier, as well as more welcoming and inclusive.
Environmental Sustainability
Caring for the planet and addressing the climate crisis have become a priority for all of our stakeholders. No business will survive if our environment is depleted by ever increasing risks from extreme weather, loss of biodiversity and water shortages. As leaders in digital transformation, we’re in a unique position to serve as a leading sustainability operations partner for other organizations.
Ethical Behavior and Compliance
With integrity as one of our core values, adhering to the highest standards of ethical conduct is central to who we are as a company. We bring extraordinary talent to our clients across the globe. The respect and confidence our clients, suppliers, and investors have in Sutherland are a direct result of the hard work, integrity, and cultural alignment of our people. Sutherland’s Code of Conduct guides our interactions with colleagues, communities, customers, governments, investors, regulators, and society.
