Sustainability & the s-peers AG

• Management: Management has overall responsibility for the implementation and monitoring of these guidelines and ensures that all necessary resources are provided.

• Supervisors: Managers are responsible for ensuring that the regulations of these guidelines are observed in their workshops. They must ensure that all employees are informed about and comply with the applicable safety standards.
• Employees: Every employee is called upon to participate in the implementation of the guidelines and to contribute suggestions for further development.

At s-peers, we are committed to absolute equality. We actively oppose any form of discrimination based on gender, sexual orientation, age, skin color, religion, disability, etc. We remain vigilant in this regard.

Document: Policy on Anti-Discrimination and the Promotion of Equality

Point of contact: There is always someone on the HR team who serves as a point of contact and is committed to 100% confidentiality.

We monitor our supply chain and all business operations for child labor, forced labor, and inhumane working conditions. Details are outlined in our Sustainability Policy on Labor and Human Rights.

• Energy efficiency: We commit ourselves and motivate all employees to minimize energy consumption and use renewable energy sources whenever possible. Examples include: 100% renewable energy for electricity, offering a general season ticket instead of a flat-rate travel allowance, subsidizing general season tickets despite flat-rate travel allowance, and the requirement to form carpools whenever possible.
• Waste management: We commit to and motivate all employees to avoid waste, consistently separate unavoidable waste, and reuse existing materials as much as possible. Examples include guidelines and procedures for waste disposal, a flea market with MS Engage, an event rental information event by KVA Weinfelden on waste recycling, full integration of existing office furniture in the new office equipment (100% recycling), and a maximum of 2,000 printed paper pages per year for the entire company.
• Sustainable procurement: All raw materials and products are sourced from sustainable sources whenever possible. Examples include the local purchase of products from the region and Switzerland, commissioning local craftsmen, and calling for conscious food purchasing.

• Transparency: By 2026, we will have identified the KPIs relevant to us and publish them monthly to stakeholders. Financial and non-financial reporting should be transparent and comprehensive to maintain the trust of stakeholders.
• Risk Management: We always keep an eye on environmental risks that arise from our work and try to identify any potential ones. We systematically integrate the avoidance of sustainability burdens into the corporate strategy.

Mission statement: "We guide our customers into a data-driven and sustainable future through innovative analytics solutions."

We have implemented several measures for this purpose:

• Assignment of a master's thesis
• Establishing a competence center with solutions for sustainability reporting in the SAP Analytics Cloud
• Collaboration and development of a product with cfg financial Engineering AG for needs-based waste disposal.

• Employee participation: We want to encourage our employees to actively participate in the company's sustainability initiatives and to contribute their own suggestions for improvement. 
• Here, every little step counts, such as providing information on waste separation, calling for clean-up ideas, tree planting campaigns, fundraising, blood donations, Viva con Aqua, flea markets, etc.
