At The Net Global, sustainability is not just a commitment - it’s an integral part of our business strategy and corporate culture. In 2024, we strengthened our efforts by embedding sustainability into our core operations, ensuring that our actions align with our vision, mission, and strategic goals. We focused on driving positive change through our dedication to business ethics, compliance, and social responsibility, with a particular emphasis on the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Our Core Values at the Heart of Sustainability
Our approach to sustainability is deeply rooted in our culture and values. We have aligned our initiatives with the following principles: Compliance and Ethical Social Responsibility, Quality and Safety, Environmental Stewardship, Gender Equality, and Education and Corporate Excellence.
These principles guide our actions, from our investments to the selection of candidates and partners. Our commitment to maintaining high standards is evident in our Code of Business Conduct, internal processes, regulations, and standard operating procedures across all service functions and lines of business.
2024 in Action: Key Initiatives and Lasting Impact
In 2024, we strategically prioritized the following SDGs that resonate with our core values and long-term objectives:
1. Good Health and Well-being
The company prioritized employee health and wellness by providing comprehensive healthcare benefits, encouraged active living through sports participation, and strengthened employee engagement with appreciation events, social gatherings, and recognition programs.
2. Quality Education
Through The Net Academy, employees were empowered with structured learning programs to enhance professional skills and career growth, while The Net Seed fostered business research and innovation. Additionally, the Student Career Experience Program (SCEP) provided students with hands-on experience across various departments, creating pathways to future employment.
3. Gender Equality
A strong commitment to diversity and inclusion was upheld by maintaining a zero-tolerance policy for discrimination and ensuring equal opportunities for all employees. Women in leadership remained a key focus, with strong female representation in key roles. Recognition and support were further reinforced by celebrating employees and acknowledging their contributions both at work and home.
4. Partnership for the Goals
Academic collaboration was strengthened through a partnership with St. Joseph University (USJ) to offer joint certification programs and hands-on internships. Expanding university partnerships with AUB, LAU, AUST, NDU, and Sagesse provided students with valuable career development opportunities. Furthermore, the company sponsored a hybrid learning classroom at USJ, equipped with advanced technology to enhance education and corporate training.
5. Affordable and Clean Energy and Responsible Consumption and Production
Safety and compliance remained a top priority, supported by regular training and strict safety standards. Environmental responsibility was reinforced through sustainability initiatives, including solar energy adoption and recycling programs. Ethical business practices were maintained through ISO, ESGSP, and TRACE certifications, ensuring transparency, compliance, and governance excellence.
Looking Ahead: Strengthening Our Commitment
As we look to the future, we remain firm in our commitment to sustainability. While we’ve made significant progress in 2024, there is still much work to be done.
