Delivering Shared Success
UN SDGs: The decade to deliver
With 10 years left to achieve the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), it is clear that, collectively, we have more work to do. At e-volve we strongly believe that businesses are playing a critical contributing role in advancing the SDGs. We are now in the “decade to deliver,” and businesses must accelerate their action and collaborate in new ways with competitors and others. We are committed to playing our part.
“The time to deliver is now. We are increasing our sustainability commitment and action, determined to use this decade to deliver a better tomorrow. In times of climate and sustainability changes as well as a global pandemic, I’m proud that e-volve is taking a leading role through these challenges by delivering on the promise of technology and human ingenuity.”
David Simpson | CEO | e-volve
Applying the SGDs to e-volve
In 2021, e-volve updated our framework for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by identifying the top prioritized SDGs and key targets for our business – those where we consider we can make the most significant contribution from our operation.
The prioritized SDGs are a result of thorough analysis from a wide selection of input and perspectives: direct and indirect stakeholders, research and partners programmes.
Sustainability is more and more critical for us as a society, for our clients and obviously for us as a business. We believe that it’s not only the right thing to do for the planet, it’s also one of the key areas of growth for us.”

BUSINESS FACING
STAKEHOLDER FACING
Sustainability is business for us
Sustainability is fundamental in everything we do
Working with our Clients to Create a Sustainable Future
The COVID-19 pandemic has created once unimaginable challenges for our clients, our people and our communities — but it also has awakened the world to an incredible opportunity to reimagine and rebuild with responsible business, including sustainability, by design. We can make a difference through our work with clients, that are some of the world’s leading companies and governments, and through how we operate at e-volve. These actions will help us do both of these and deliver greater 360-degree value for the benefit of all.
Now is the time to act.
Organizations must be purposeful, defining ethical standards and operating across a responsible supply chain that minimizes the consequences of a complex global system. We are planning to launch in the future dedicated sustainability services.
High priority SDG targets relevant for e-volve:
Thought Leadership for a Sustainable Future
e-volve is set publishing thought leadership on sustainability to drive innovation and help our clients to become more sustainable.
Integrating Sustainability across Our Business
At e-volve, we are committed to supporting our clients in their sustainability journey by bringing our broad expertise in strategy, technology, digital and innovation to guide our clients on how to achieve their sustainability goals. Our ambition is to integrate sustainability into all our services and make it a cohesive part of our client work. To reach that ambition, we have set up a sustainability committee that extends across all areas of our business, which is our sustainability frontrunners and enablers. We have also put together an comprehensive program for all our employees in partnership with HP.
“Like many of my peers, I’m passionate about sustainability, and am proud that we at e-volve are committed in integrating it into everything we do, including supporting our clients on their sustainability journey towards a better tomorrow.”
