Corporate Social Responsibility
Inspiring Conscious and Caring Corporate Citizenship
“As we venture further into this complex digital era, we become increasingly aware of the interconnectedness of the societies in which we operate, and the cause-and-effect forces at play. While there can be beauty in this complexity, we are mindful that it also poses significant challenges, not just for our customers, but for the people in the communities we serve. Because of this we are constantly working towards creating environments where people, systems and processes work together, for the betterment of not only our employees and the business, but also the communities in which we live and work.”
SYSPRO UPlift is a program that articulates how we will create a positive real-world impact by focusing on the following three priorities:
Skills Development
Community Support
Environment
SYSPRO UPlifters are a part of a growing global movement to end hunger by empowering communities and nourishing lives with Rise Against Hunger.
SYSPRO CSR
The SYSPRO UPlift program is aligned to our company purpose. Through our initiatives, we want to UPlift our people, our customers, and the communities that we serve and volunteer our time and resources in a meaningful way.
Our UPlifters provide sustainable solutions through community support, the environment and skills development for the communities in which we operate.
