Our Environmental, Social and Governance strategy and framework

Corporate citizenship powers human progress and drives success. We apply this principle to our Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) strategy.

Kyndryl focuses on economic, social, and environmental strategies that leverage our highly skilled workforce and the industry’s latest technologies to help implement positive social impact at scale and create a sustainable and inclusive future. 

Our ESG framework is defined by these three pillars:

  • Environment: Sustainability programs
  • People: Social responsibility programs
  • Trust: Corporate governance programs

Our ESG materiality assessment

 

In 2024, Kyndryl conducted a double materiality assessment with a third party. The process required identification of topics, engagement with internal and external stakeholders, and prioritization of the results in terms of their relative importance to Kyndryl and our stakeholders. Additionally, the process required us to consider both financial and non-financial impacts.

Our assessment highlighted five material topics for Kyndryl: 

  • Business conduct and ethics 
  • Culture and employee experience 
  • Cybersecurity, privacy, and data governance 
  • Greenhouse gas emissions and climate  
  • Responsible supply chain
