Our ESG Programme
Environmental, Social and Governance at UKG
Our ESG program serves to coordinate and optimise activities we manage in support of our beliefs, identify opportunities to grow and strengthen our commitments and demonstrate the positive impacts we make through measurable progress and tangible results.
“ESG is core to the work we do every day at UKG and ties directly to our purpose: people. We know that our commitment to ESG will only enhance the culture we create for our U Krewers, the experience we create for our customers, and the support we provide to our communities around the world.”

PRIVACY AND DATA PROTECTION
The policies, practices, and protocols to protect and manage the collection, retention, and use of sensitive, confidential, and personally identifiable data.
CYBERSECURITY
We are committed to rigorous policies, practices and protocols to protect our IT infrastructure, networks and devices to ensure the security of customer and user data.
Our ESG Policy
Our ESG Policy – together with our Environmental Policy, Human Rights Policy, Code of Conduct, Supplier Code of Conduct, and other operational policies – demonstrates our commitment to ESG practices and operations. Specific metrics, alongside governance we have put in place around the core pillars of our ESG program, hold us accountable and allow transparent assessment as to how UKG is performing against our commitments.
Our ESG Priorities
UKG conducts a biennial global materiality assessment to remain focused on the most impactful areas related to our business operations, employees, communities, and the environment. UKG developed our first set of ESG targets, aligned with the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) where we are best positioned to contribute. These forward-thinking targets are ambitious but realistic, and we have held ourselves accountable to progress to, achieve, and/or surpass each pillar in a timely manner.
Awards and Recognition
While we never take any action solely for the recognition, UKG is proud to have earned a number of recent awards for our ESG efforts, including a Silver EcoVadis Sustainability Rating.
