Supplier social responsibility

Kyndryl is a member of the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA), an industry coalition that is dedicated to corporate social responsibility.

Kyndryl is committed to social and environmental responsibility in our operations and in our supply chain. We share a responsibility with our suppliers to protect workers, communities, and the environment.   As a technology services company, Kyndryl’s success depends on the physical and psychological safety of each of our employees and the suppliers who support our operations, products and services. You can read more about our commitment to human rights in our Human Rights Policy.

Kyndryl works with suppliers to procure and deliver products and/or services that can help reduce our environmental impact and can be reused, recycled, or disposed of in an environmentally sound manner.

Kyndryl expects all suppliers to establish and maintain a corporate social responsibility and environmental management system, focusing on ethics, labor, health & safety and environmental matters and complying with ESG regulations in all geographies.  Supplier’s code of conduct is outlined in the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) Code. Kyndryl requests that Suppliers acknowledge the RBA Code in a separate acknowledgment letter that is provided as a condition of onboarding the Supplier. Additionally, when procuring energy using products, equipment and services that have, or can have, an energy impact on SEUs (Significant Energy Use), energy performance may also be an evaluation criteria.

Kyndryl’s approach to Responsible Sourcing

Kyndryl endeavors to create a supply base that fosters innovation, enhances economic resiliency and competitiveness, and aligns with our sustainability objectives. ​

We are committed to providing suppliers with equal opportunity to compete for our business. This commitment applies to all firms regardless of the business owner’s race, color, religion, creed, national origin, sex, gender, gender identity, or expression, sexual orientation, pregnancy, caste, genetics, disability, age, or any other factors prohibited by law.​

When purchasing goods and services, Kyndryl’s supplier selection is based on best overall value.
