Our ESG Priorities
UKG conducts a biennial global materiality assessment to remain focused on the most impactful areas related to our business operations, employees, communities, and the environment. UKG developed our first set of ESG targets, aligned with the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) where we are best positioned to contribute. These forward-thinking targets are ambitious but realistic, and we have held ourselves accountable to progress to, achieve, and/or surpass each pillar in a timely manner.
Awards and Recognition
While we never take any action solely for the recognition, UKG is proud to have earned a number of recent awards for our ESG efforts, including a Silver EcoVadis Sustainability Rating.
