Sustainability

Message from Jesper Trolle,
Chief Executive Officer

At a time when sustainability initiatives are shaping the future, cybersecurity is a crucial pillar in securing these efforts.

Exclusive Networks shares the belief that the security and resilience of digital infrastructure are paramount to the success of global sustainability initiatives. These include:

• Protecting the data integrity of smart city projects. The latter are expected to attract a global investment of $2.57 trillion by 2025, according to Grand View Research⁽¹⁾;
• The reliability of energy transitions, with cybersecurity proving to be a key enabler of the integration of renewable energy sources, according to the International Energy Agency⁽²⁾; and
• Protecting SMBs, which are the victims of 43% of global cyberattacks. However, 60% of victims cease their activity within six months⁽³⁾.

Cybersecurity is crucial to promoting social equity and business continuity.

This understanding is at the heart of our sustainability strategy for 2024-2030.

Our strategy combines our deep expertise in cybersecurity with our commitment to environmental and social responsibility. It includes improving our operations, partnering with our supply chain to expand our impact, and helping to advance the digital ecosystem as a whole.

At the heart of our strategy is our commitment to nurturing and guarding the future of cybersecurity. We are committed to training the next generation of cybersecurity experts, providing comprehensive training and development programmes within our Exclusive Academy.

We also invest in the personal development of our employees through targeted training in cybersecurity, sustainability and leadership.

With a focus on both career development and personal skills, we promote employees who are not only competent but also deeply aligned with our sustainability values.

Our strategy is aligned with global sustainability frameworks such as the Global reporting Initiative (GRI), the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) and the Corporate Sustainability reporting Directive (CSRD), demonstrating our holistic approach to sustainability and underscoring our commitment to transparency and accountability.

Our adherence to the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi), the EcoVadis Bronze rating and participation in the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) are a testament to our ongoing sustainability efforts.

These achievements, while significant, are just a beginning. We are driven by the immense potential of our journey towards a sustainable and secure digital future.

Together with our partners, employees and stakeholders, we are enthusiastically exploring these opportunities, guided by our shared values and a vision of a world where sustainability and cybersecurity go hand in hand.
