Environment, social and governance
Symbio is delivering an Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) strategy to transform our shared future through initiatives which focus on the topics most material to us.
Our Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) framework is firmly rooted in measurable and achievable targets. While these goals have a longer horizon, we're already demonstrating tangible and positive progress.
For us, true impact means enabling diversity and inclusion in our workplace, giving back to our community and reducing direct and indirect environmental damage.
40/40/20 target for gender diversity
Our board has a 50:50 gender balance. We aim to achieve a 40:40:20 gender balance for an increasingly diverse team with varied perspectives and backgrounds.
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
We are proud that Symbio has been nominated for the prestigious 2024 TechDiversity Award, in recognition for our Women@Symbio program.
2023 Ellect four-star certification
In collaboration with Ellect, we have achieved the highest certification for gender diversity, equity, and inclusion, showcasing our commitment to a diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace for all.
Transition to 100% office renewable energy by FY25
We have a roadmap to measure and convert our owned office buildings data centers, and network sites to operate on renewable energy sources by 2025.
Diversion of 100% of e-waste from landfill by 2030
This goal ensures responsible waste management through equipment donations and responsible disposal in designated e-waste bins.
Reducing carbon emissions
We aim to decrease our Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 42% from our FY22 levels by FY30, and further reduce them by 90% by FY50. Additionally, we are committed to measuring and reducing our Scope 3 emissions.
Local community involvement
Symbio employees are empowered to help local community groups through paid volunteer leave with organisations such as the Ronald McDonald House and OzHarvest.
Learning and Development
We offer a broad learning and development program to support the upskilling of staff. This includes internal workshops, e-learning, and specialist training.
Support for social causes
We are proud of our achievements in support of social causes such as Movember and Steptember.
"Building a better world is at the heart of our business. Investing in sustainability strengthens Symbio and empowers our stakeholders, making the world a better place for our people and our customers."
