Environmental, Social and Governance
Believing in “One Persistent, One Family,” we have always ensured that our business approach includes a holistic sustainable strategy to provide long-term value for our stakeholders.
While we are proud of our progress, we know there is a long road ahead to ensure a better and brighter future for generations to come. Entering our fourth decade as a sustainable business, we are thrilled to embark on this journey with the active support of our people, our families and the communities we serve.
With the increasingly rapid acceleration of technology adoption, we have renewed our promise to ensure that our business goals include the wellbeing of our people, our society and our planet.
We have embarked on our journey towards carbon neutrality by setting our Net zero targets in motion. The pillars of our ESG ambition reflect our core values and determine our actions in service of this vision.
We have aligned our sustainability agenda with our business and technological transitions and growth to emerge a more responsible, sustainable, well-governed organization.
At Persistent, being aware and wanting to make a difference to the world we live in has been one of our core values. Being a socially and environmentally responsible organization we are fully committed towards creating a positive impact for all our stakeholders.
