We believe that our expertise, professionalism and commitment to excellence contributes both to the sustainable development of our own organisation and assists our clients in upholding their promises to their people. Our sustainability commitments set out our ambition and demonstrate how we continue to hold ourselves accountable for our impact and performance.
Our sustainability activities reflect International SOS’ mission, vision and values. We aim to integrate sustainability, step by step, into every part of our business. Our philosophy for corporate citizenship initially focused on Healthcare and Education; more recently, our sustainability vision has broadened to cover Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance (ESG). This means all our actions are underpinned by concern for the wellbeing of our employees and the communities where we operate. They also encompass ethical conduct in our dealings with suppliers, clients and other stakeholders.
Our ESG Board oversees the development and implementation of our ESG strategy. Our ESG committee meets regularly to advise on and set our priorities. Should you have any questions or queries, please contact our ESG committee: esg@internationalsos.com
