We have six commitments that will help us advance diversity, equity and inclusion at Sage and foster a stronger sense of belonging. These commitments are for all our colleagues, customers, suppliers, partners and communities. We have made them public, so you can hold us to account and help ensure that our actions, values and behaviours are at the standard you expect from us.

Data is empowering SMEs, governments and the individuals behind them. Together with trusted third parties, we will enable them to make more informed data-driven decisions and policies whilst keeping customers safe and in control of their data by:

• Stepping up as a voice for SMEs
• Addressing SMEs’ challenges to help them thrive
• Empowering individuals and businesses with data that is accessible and trustworthy

 

Nurturing talent goes beyond improving skill sets at Sage. Well-being, flexible working and volunteering time are key to ensuring employees feel their best and achieve results that make us proud.

We’re aiming to:

 

• Reach 1 million colleague volunteering hours by 2022
• Fundraise $2 million by 2022 for non-profit organisations around the world
• Continue to offer every colleague at Sage five paid days to volunteer or fundraise and give their time to the organisations they care about the most

To make sure our solutions and services are inclusive to everyone, we’re committing to be transparent about our progress. We are:

 

• Aiming to offer full accessibility for Sage cloud native products by 2025
• Part of the Valuable 500 Charter to bring equality of opportunities for people living with disabilities
• Publishing our global disability and inclusion plan for the next 3 years
• Ensuring everyone can use our website in line with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines
• Providing discounted product and financial literacy training to non-profits
