ESG
Our responsibility - Environment, Social and Governance (ESG)
Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) are key factors in measuring a company’s sustainability and ethical impact on the environment. At Globeteam, we want to be a part of this collective responsibility and as such in 2021 we expanded our work to include separate ESG reporting. We conduct annual reporting so that we can track progress and continuously improve the way we do business.
Globeteam’s ESG reporting is prepared in collaboration with the consulting firm MJ Hudson and describes the relevance of ESG in relation to the industry in which Globeteam operates. This is our second round of ESG reporting, and moving forward we will continue to sharpen our ESG measurements.
The report shows that we already have a good handle on information security and can show evidence of GDPR compliance. It also shows that Globeteam has a relatively low carbon footprint. In 2022, we spent a lot of time implementing and formalising our governance policies, including a whistle-blower policy and policies to combat bribery, corruption, and money laundering. These have all been put in place to foster a shared responsibility within the business.
