Sustainability and society
When it comes to sustainability, we believe it is our responsibility to make a real difference and to act as a role model for our industry and for those in our network.
Our sustainability journey has informed how we show up for SMBs, from helping them get started with carbon accounting, to making their voices heard by policymakers and regulators. We know that taking action starts with us, but the impact we create spreads beyond us. We call this The Multiplier Effect.
The Sage Sustainability and Society strategy, The Multiplier Effect, supports our purpose and business model. It also represents our commitment to serve all of our stakeholders, including communities and the planet.
Our strategy has three key pillars—Protect the Planet, Tech for Good, and Human by Design—all underpinned by Sustainability by Design, which is about integrating sustainability deep into our business and operations. Each of the pillars is supported by clear priorities and a robust action plan. This evolved approach drives further accountability across the business and reflects a closer alignment with our strategic business priorities.
Our FY24 Sustainability and Society report provides our stakeholders with a transparent account of how we approach the most material sustainability issues faced by Sage. The report has been prepared in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) 2021 Standards, as well as the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) Sustainability Accounting Standard for the Software and IT Services Industry.
Our FY24 Climate Report outlines our climate strategy, including Sage’s Net Zero Transition Plan, and our progress in FY24 towards achieving our carbon emission reduction targets.

As a carbon-accounting platform, we see first-hand where the emissions of thousands of businesses come from.

When former Governor of the Bank of England, Mark Carney, warned that global financials were systemically peddling the world’s most carbon-heavy projects, the paving for the Partnership for Carbon Accounting Financials (PCAF) was laid. “To achieve net-zero, we need a whole economy transition–every company, every bank, every insurer, and investor will have to adjust their […]
