Sustainability

Our Sustainability Approach

For Adapt IT, sustainability has always been a factor in the group’s operations; it is how we create value for all of our stakeholders, continually balancing the interests of internal and external stakeholders, with particular attention to achieving efficiencies for clients, optimising shareholder value and reinvesting internally in people and technology. 

As part of the continued improvements to processes, Adapt IT has embarked on a journey to include Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Sustainability Reporting Standards to the current reporting framework, which includes standards such as International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), the GRI Sustainability Reporting Standards, the King Code on Corporate Governance 2016 (King IV™) and the JSE Listings Requirements. 

The GRI Sustainability Reporting Standards will enable us to improve our sustainability reporting and align more closely with international standards.
