ESG at SD Worx

ESG at the heart of our business

As Europe’s HR backbone, SD Worx operates at the intersection of data, compliance and people management. Topics such as data privacy, working conditions and responsible AI are therefore embedded in how we work — not treated as an add‑on.

“We do not only see ESG as a reporting requirement, but as a strategic lever for strengthening our organisation and supporting our customers.”
Kelly Lespinoy, Chief Legal & Compliance Officer .
