From recycling more than 200,000 pounds of end-of-life
electronics to board diversity, Unisys remains committed to bold
breakthroughs
BLUE
BELL, Pa., June 13, 2023 /PRNewswire/
-- Unisys (NYSE: UIS) announces the release of the
company's 2022 Sustainability Report, detailing the
progress made in the past year towards achieving the environmental,
social, and governance (ESG) goals of the organization. Since
releasing its first corporate sustainability report in 1994, Unisys
has continued to drive breakthroughs not only for the company but
also for its clients. This year's report is no
exception.
"From the diversity of our team ranging from associates to the
board of directors, as well as delivering on our long-standing
environmental commitments, I am proud of our progress — yet
recognize that there is more work to do," said Peter Altabef chair and chief executive officer
at Unisys.
Meaningful advancements in making climate actions a business
priority
In 2022, Unisys set a new goal to achieve net zero
greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) for Scope 1 (direct) and Scope 2
(indirect) sources by 2030. In addition, the company accomplished
its 2026 goal to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 75%,
five years ahead of schedule.
Unisys continues to drive excellence in minimizing its
environmental footprint from the associate to the corporate level.
The success of these efforts to date is a testimony of the company
and its leadership team in making climate action a business
priority.
Key achievements include:
- Reducing CO2e emissions from air travel for business
by 19% since 2019 and car travel for business by 57% during the
same period.
- Driving down energy consumption globally by 38% from 2019 to
2022.
- Reducing its real estate global footprint by 16% over the past
four years.
- Collecting nearly 200,000 pounds of end-of-life electronics in
2022 and recycling these devices with partners.
Fulfilling the aims of an inclusive and engaged
culture
The 2022 Sustainability Report highlights the
organization's commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI).
One area of progress is the growth in the percentage of women both
in the workforce and in leadership positions:
- Women held 49% of U.S. workforce leadership positions in 2022,
up from 42% in 2021.
- Women in global leadership positions reached 43% in 2022, up
from 38% in 2021.
- U.S. employees who belong to Underrepresented Ethnic Groups
(UREGs) grew from 27% in 2021 to 31% in 2022.
In 2022, Unisys launched mandatory DEI training for all
associates to make sure DEI is embedded in all levels of the
company. Additionally, every senior leader at Unisys participates
in the company's "Inclusive Leadership" workshop, which helps them
understand and mitigate unconscious bias. The impact of these
efforts is demonstrated in the Unisys DEI Index, an annual survey
of its associates to assess perspectives of DEI efforts across the
company.
In 2022, key successes include:
- 80% of associates feel comfortable being themselves at
work.
- 77% of associate respondents globally believed that everyone at
Unisys, regardless of background, has an equal opportunity to
succeed at the company.
- 70% viewed their experiences at Unisys related to DEI
positively.
- 70% feel a strong sense of belonging at Unisys.
A culture of values from the top
From a governance
perspective, Unisys continues to drive a values-based culture,
which is reflected in the company's leadership. In 2022, more than
half (seven) of its 12 board members were either female or belonged
to ethnically diverse groups.
Further, the company's leadership team has committed to growing
relationships with suppliers and partners that have like-minded ESG
policies and/or programs, asking its network of 6,000 suppliers to
align with the company's values outlined in the Unisys Business
Partner Code of Business Conduct. The commitment of Unisys partners
to the company's ESG goals advances progress toward building a
sustainable enterprise for the company and its clients.
"The programs and policies we live by every day create a better
employee experience and enable our people to better serve our
clients and positively impact our communities," said Claudius O. Sokenu, general counsel and chief
administrative officer. "The successes of the past year and our
determination to lead in ESG make the world a better place."
