SYKES ESG Council

The SYKES ESG Council regularly reports to the Nominating and Governance Committee and is chaired by CEO and President Chuck Sykes. Council membership includes leaders from key departments in every global region in which we operate: Operations, Security, IT, Global Procurement, HR, Marketing, and Communication.

The ESG Council sets the strategic ESG agenda, informed by formal stakeholder engagement meetings, and develops specific programs to connect internal and external stakeholders with the company’s mission and purpose in ways that benefit our employees.

Each council member is responsible for understanding how environmental, social, and climate-related issues affect their departments and SYKES holistically. Council members ensure that SYKES’ ESG and climate-related efforts address company-relevant risks and opportunities.

ESG Council

The council is composed of subcommittees that focus on four specific action areas of sustainability:

Impact
Care
Prosper
Global Sustainability Programs

Each subcommittee plans, implements, and oversees programs that serve specific goals for their action area.

Global Social Participation

SYKES employees around the world actively engage in these initiatives individually, by site, by team, and by region.

Security & Compliance
Security & Compliance

Security & Compliance

SYKES is committed to serving our external and internal partners with the utmost security and compliance.

Security

All business relating to information security management is in accordance with recognized industry standards, accreditations, and all applicable laws and regulations. Without exception, this is done to complement current business practice and add value to our brand partners and their customers.

As a company committed to security, SYKES maintains international industry standards and performs regular reviews to determine that the listed controls are achievable, quantifiable, and reflective of business requirements.

Compliance

Companies around the world are increasingly showcasing their environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) principles, both from a sense of internal responsibility and external obligation. Still, companies that fail to disclose truthful or accurate representations of their programming put themselves at risk.

At SYKES, we are fully committed to maintaining the highest level of compliance at the local, national, and international levels. Our dedicated compliance team ensures that our ESG disclosures are true, accurate, and complete to our fullest capacity.

Through transparency and accuracy, SYKES is paving the way for U.S.-based companies to improve their disclosures and compete for clients with thorough and forthright compliance.
