A word from our MD

"The single biggest thing we can collectively do is to use our will and endeavour as people who care.

"We care about Sage, we care about our colleagues, we care about our customers, and we care about being responsible.

"If we were to put every ounce of spare effort we have into thinking about CSR we can make a massive difference to the communities in which we live and work and our responsibilities to our customers and suppliers.

"Years ago people were thinking of CSR as something ‘different’, I don't think that's the case now, CSR and business are completely interlinked."

Paul Stobart, Managing Director, Sage (UK) Limited

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)

We believe that being a responsible business and committing to Corporate Social Responsibility isn’t just about giving money away and getting involved in loads of stuff (although we know this helps sometimes). Actually, what we really care about is doing the right things, at the right time, in the right way, and that acting responsibly isn't something we just talk about or do from time to time, it’s a way of life.

We're committed to our people and their development; to our customers and the suppliers who work with us to help serve them better, and to the communities and the environment around us.

Whilst we have dedicated resource to help shape and direct our CSR initiatives, they're often driven by our people because it matters to them that we care.

So whether they're helping us to support charitable events, volunteering in the community, coming up with new ways to be 'greener' or living and breathing our guiding principles of simplicity, agility, innovation, trust and integrity, it's our people who put our responsibilities into action.

The ways we act now, and the actions we take to improve our approach to CSR in the future, are constantly evolving to ultimately make us a truly responsible business.

How we live and breathe our business
