Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG)

Our commitment to ESG

We recognize the importance of sustainable practices and responsible corporate behavior and believe it is vital to address the changing priorities of our customers, stakeholders, and communities with adaptability and industry excellence.

Managing our environmental footprint

Kyndryl is committed to addressing climate risk and environmental operational efficiency, managing system performance, and enabling our employees to practice sustainability. We demonstrate this commitment by tracking, measuring, and reporting our global environmental footprint to meet net zero targets and goals, working to meet applicable government requirements, and building out our environmental education and training program.

Social responsibility to our global community

As a global business with a presence in more than 60 countries, Kyndryl understands the inevitable effect we have on our surrounding communities. Our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program was developed to support a productive, sustainable, and inclusive global economy in which Kyndryl can continue to thrive.  

 

Our CSR initiatives are focused on maximizing our positive impact in three community engagement areas: Future-Forward Education, Climate Action, and Inclusive Economies.

Governance for the greater good

At Kyndryl, we recognize that good governance is crucial to operating a business at scale. We have established governance practices and policies that allow us to remain responsive to stakeholder concerns, technological innovations, and global macro shifts.

 

Our governance strategy falls under three priority areas: Ethical operations, data security, and ESG risk mitigation. These priorities support our mission to embed accountability, transparency and risk management into every aspect of our business.
