Corporate Social Responsibility
Inspiring Conscious and Caring Corporate Citizenship
“As we venture further into this complex digital era, we become increasingly aware of the interconnectedness of the societies in which we operate, and the cause-and-effect forces at play. While there can be beauty in this complexity, we are mindful that it also poses significant challenges, not just for our customers, but for the people in the communities we serve. Because of this we are constantly working towards creating environments where people, systems and processes work together, for the betterment of not only our employees and the business, but also the communities in which we live and work.”
SYSPRO UPlift is a program that articulates how we will create a positive real-world impact by focusing on the following three priorities:
Skills Development
Through skills development initiatives, we aim to build and attract the future workforce. We nurture, develop and retain an empowered workforce and we strive to scale for maximum impact. Our initiatives also include developing skills critical for our industry.
Community Support
Our employees volunteer their time and give back to society by supporting local NPOs and NGOs to make a real-world impact. Employees have 1 working day per annum (8 working hours in total) to partake in any activity that is close to their heart.
Environment
We have a responsibility to protect and keep our environment clean and unpolluted. It is a core part of our business to follow best practice in all we do, while striving for improvements where possible. We are passionate about recycling, conserving energy, using environmentally friendly technologies and educating our employees on environmental issues.
UPlift: Providing sustainable solutions for the communities in which we operate
The SYSPRO UPlift program is aligned to our company purpose. Through our initiatives, we want to Uplift our people, our customers, and the communities that we serve and volunteer our time in a meaningful way.
