Growing sustainably

Solita has grown consistently, profitably and responsibly for over 25 years. Here’s our approach to sustainable growth.

Our people

We strive to ensure diversity, equality, and inclusion

We promote equality, diversity, and non-discrimination in our community with actionable goals.
We actively build an inclusive company culture.

We develop effective and humane leadership

We continuously develop our leadership and ways of working to build and maintain a humane and caring company culture that supports a healthy work-life balance.
We provide support for Solitans in all the different phases of their careers.

We’re increasing our positive handprint and helping our companies to future proof their businesses by redesigning their businesses, solutions, services and ways of working. We could build anything but we won’t. Instead we build only things worth building, solve problems worth solving.

Making sure employees feel well, have a decent work life balance, and are willing to speak up is an underlying prerequisite, if you want your business results.

The solid foundation of our sustainability efforts is built on our strategy, company culture and values: Combining technology, data and human insight to solve complex problems. A caring and responsible company culture.

We aim to provide meaningful growth opportunities; as passionate people tend to be inspired by new challenges and impactful projects.

Environment

Climate change is the biggest global challenge of our time. The role of the ICT industry and digital technologies cannot be underestimated as they consume large amounts of electricity and cause carbon emissions that are significant on a global scale. At the same time, they provide possibilities to accelerate decarbonisation, if used wisely.

We are carbon neutral

We measure our greenhouse gas emissions annually for scopes 1, 2 and 3 based on the Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG)
We’re committed to the science-based emissions reduction in line with a 1.5°C pathway.
We compensate for the emissions we are not able to avoid.
All our emissions (scopes 1, 2 and 3) from 2022 have been compensated. See our Compensation Impact Report

We protect the environment

We promote environmental sustainability in our operations and in our value chain.
As an example, we offer employees a bike leasing opportunity and support the use of public transportation. To improve the sustainability of our value chain, we encourage our partners to set set science-based emissions reduction targets.

We learn and improve

We are ISO14001 certified, and we are constantly looking for new ways to improve.

We increase awareness

We continue to raise our employees’ awareness of environmental sustainability issues to support our environmental goals and reduce Solitans’ carbon footprint.
We are also happy to have an active and engaged group of employees, who give us valuable feedback and support us in our actions.

Increasing our handprint through our client projects

Our handprint through our client work has much more significant impact than our direct footprint – even though it’s hard to calculate.

Our aim is to create digital services that positively impact business, people, society, and the environment. Our role is essential in helping customers become more environmentally sustainable.

Responsible business

For us, responsible business means conducting our business ethically; complying with laws and regulations; screening and carefully selecting the customers and partners we work with; adhering to the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact; and using data, design and technology responsibly.

Our vision is to create long-lasting value by conducting our business in an ethical way, with the highest integrity, while ensuring that our employees and partners are aware of and committed to an ethical way of working.

We commit to responsible business and the Solita code of conduct

We comply with laws and regulations and compete fairly.
As a company, we are not involved in political or religious activities and do not support such activities financially.

We evaluate the responsibility of our customers and partners

We are committed to complying with anti- money laundering legislation.
Bribery, including any kind of facilitation payments, and acceptance of bribery is strictly forbidden in all our activities.
As a company, we respect human rights and strongly condemn all activities that are against the law or violate human rights.
We do not accept the use of child labour or human trafficking.
To improve our evaluation process, we have documented the partner screening and selection process in writing, including the selection criteria. We have also published a separate Code of Conduct to be used with our partners.

We commit to data security and privacy

We take data security and data privacy seriously and follow information security best practices.
