Kyndryl's ESG strategy is focused on economic, social, and environmental strategies, leveraging our technology and workforce. Every day, we work toward creating a sustainable and inclusive future by driving sustainable practices and positive social impact at scale. We have set goals to hold ourselves accountable for progress across our businesses, operations, and supply chain. Our goals are aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs) and industry frameworks and best practices.
This ESG framework is a roadmap to help us achieve our goals and commitments. In our first year, we committed to continuously evolving our strategy to ensure it aligns with best practices, the latest climate science, and regulations. Our ESG framework is defined as follows:
- Environment: Our sustainability program focuses on all environmental aspects and helps our stakeholders. We aim to achieve net zero emissions by 2040 and have set a goal to expand renewable energy across our portfolio, with the aim of achieving 100% renewable energy by 2030.
- People: This focuses on our talent, including culture, skill development, employee engagement, inclusion, diversity, and equity, as well as corporate social responsibility community-focused programs. We prioritize well-being, health and safety, social impact, human rights, and diversity across the company.
- Trust: This focuses on our governance program and how we build integrity and value across our employees, investors, governments, customers, and nonprofit organizations. We have built integrity and value into our interactions with Kyndryls, investors, governments, customers, partners, suppliers, and nonprofit organizations.
We recognize that global economic and geopolitical changes will pose challenges and opportunities for our business, customers, and communities. We will continue to promote policies and programs that align with best practices, climate science, and regulations, and positive outcomes for our people, customers, society, and the environment.

- The company has committed to achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040.

Kyndryl will also leverage industry best practices to govern its environmental and energy management system, processes, and tools to ensure operations meet high standards of sustainability compliance and responsible business practices that clients and partners expect.
