Financial technology leader FIS® (NYSE: FIS) has released its
annual Global Sustainability Report which highlights the company’s
progress in advancing environmental, social and governance (ESG)
issues over the past year.
FIS made continued progress last year in several key areas,
including its efforts to drive financial inclusion, advance the
workforce of the future, foster inclusion and diversity and help
communities thrive. As a result, MSCI increased its ESG rating of
FIS from an “A” to an “AA” which is the second-highest possible
rating and distinguishes FIS as a leader in its industry.
“As the world continues to shift to a resiliency-based economy,
FIS remains focused on advancing sustainability," said Gary
Norcross, Chairman and CEO of FIS. “Our clients, colleagues and
communities expect us to appropriately address environmental,
social and governance issues important to them, and we take action
every day to do this. At FIS, corporate sustainability is a team
effort, and it has become part of our decisioning criteria as we
run the business.”
As part of its commitment to protect the environment and
mitigate the effects of climate change, FIS reduced overall energy
use by 22 percent, water usage by 20 percent, and Scope 1 and 2
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 21 percent in 2021. The past
year’s results are in line with the company’s Climate Action Plan,
which includes FIS’ aspirational goal to achieve 100% carbon
neutrality for its Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2025.
The Global Sustainability Report also highlights FIS’ progress
in advancing inclusion and diversity across its various stakeholder
groups. For example, FIS increased the number of leadership
positions held by women, globally, by 4% since 2019. Additionally,
FIS invested more than $30 million in minority-led fintech startups
since 2020 as pledged.
In the past year, FIS has been named to Fortune’s World’s Most
Admired Companies list, recognized by Forbes as one of the Best
Employers for Diversity, and honored as one of America’s Most
Responsible Companies by Newsweek.
