Short on time? Read the key takeaways:
- Unisys’ 151-year legacy includes a long-term commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship.
- Our ESG approach focuses on reducing environmental impact, accelerating innovation through an empowered workforce, and protecting business continuity through solid governance.
- We adapt our sustainability practices to serve clients in 120+ countries, addressing unique market needs across diverse regulatory landscapes.
- We see sustainability as a journey of ongoing improvement in collaboration with our stakeholders to prioritize sustainable practices.
At Unisys, our commitment to sustainable business practices is deeply rooted in our history and continues to shape our future.
We published our first corporate environmental stewardship report 30 years ago, in 1994, to underscore our even then long-held belief in sustainability. Regardless of where a company may be on its path toward sustainable business practices, it is never too late to begin.
Our evolution in sustainability
Like most organizations, our own path toward sustainability has evolved incrementally. We did not start fully formed in every respect and continue to learn. For example, we established long-term goals to reduce our company’s scope 1 and scope 2 carbon emissions in 2006—only 18 years ago. Some lessons we learned early on, including the importance of environmental stewardship, our impact on the communities where we operate, and the value of good internal governance.
Unisys is celebrating its 151st year, and sustainable environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices remain a core part of our identity. As a global organization, we also understand how these fundamental practices are becoming even more relevant to our stakeholders across an evolving geopolitical and regulatory landscape.
Our latest sustainability report detailing our ongoing efforts is now available here.
The three pillars of sustainability
Environmental stewardship
From an environmental standpoint and in support of clients in more than 120 countries, Unisys is committed to optimizing our operational footprint, which allows us to be a more responsible and efficient energy consumer.
Social responsibility
Socially, we endeavor to accelerate the innovation of industry-leading products and services for our clients by advancing the growth of our most innovative asset—our people. We achieve this through outreach in the communities we serve, advanced professional development, and an inclusive workplace that empowers our associates to create breakthroughs.
Responsible governance
When we consider governance practices, Unisys continues to make advances to meet and exceed standards for disclosure, sustainability, and risk mitigation as a trusted steward of the business on behalf of our stakeholders.
Looking ahead
Our work to create a better tomorrow through sustainability initiatives is an ongoing process that requires commitment and transparency. I am grateful to all our Unisys associates who help us achieve meaningful progress on our path to a truly sustainable future.
I hope our team is proud of our accomplishments and that our company continues to advance together.
