At SOS International, we recognise that operating diligently and responsibly is more important than ever, especially in a world undergoing significant changes.
As regulatory requirements and stakeholder expectations evolve, we must ensure that our operation and value chain can meet expectations, grab the opportunities at hand and address any challenges. With a double materiality assessment and corporate sustainability strategy in place, we are well underway.
The 2024 Integrated Report presents our financial, social, and environmental performance throughout the year in a single integrated report.
Double Materiality
A 360-degree understanding of SOS International’s impact on people and the climate, and how sustainability impacts our business.
To ensure that we consistently consider our environmental and social impacts as well as the financial risks and opportunities we face, we will conduct a double materiality assessment annually, making sure that changes in our business or surroundings are reflected in the material topics that guide our sustainability commitments.
Through a double materiality assessment, we have identified 10 sustainability topics as material for SOS International:
Environment
- Greenhouse gas
- Climate change adaption (i.e., readiness for extreme weather)
Social
Employees:
- Employee working conditions incl. health & safety
- Employee diversity, equity, and inclusion
- Talent development
End-users:
- End-user experience incl. quality of care and safety
- End-user privacy and data security
- Prevention and early intervention
Governance
- Supplier behaviour incl. human rights and business ethics
- Anti-corruption and fair competition
We support the global movement of sustainable business practices
SOS International supports the UN Sustainable Development Goals, and we have identified six key areas important to our business.
We support the global movement of sustainable business practices. That is why we have been supporting the UN Global Compact since 2017 and work on continuously aligning our business conduct with the 10 universal principles of the UN Global Compact.
