Sustainability

For us, sustainability is not focused on a single topic. It is about seeking ways to engage and commit with society’s current challenges, empowering communities and expanding a positive impact.

Sustainability

The pebble that ripples the water

Our commitment does not end at the office’s walls: it’s transversal to who we are and what we do. Our purpose is to transform communities and the environment - one step at a time.

SDGs

Working for a better future makes the present better

We amplify the positive impact as a sounding board. We get involved to promote a more equitable, diverse, and sustainable future with more and better possibilities.

This is why we have taken action and committed to 3 of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

SDG 5: Gender equality

Why Hikko commits

Gender equality is one of the foundations for a peaceful, prosperous and sustainable world: from poverty reduction to promoting the health, education, protection, and well-being of children.

This should be different

The gender gap among employees in the technology industry has an approximate ratio of 70% men and 30% women.

Goals and measurement

Goals

  • Promote greater inclusion in the tech industry: safer, more diverse, and with equal opportunities, by including the greatest number of women in our teams and modeling behavior within our company.

Measurement

Our commitment: initiatives

In the company

  • Action protocol in cases of discrimination and harassment to guarantee safe and violence-free spaces.
  • Volunteering activities that are linked to resilience and contribution to equality.
  • Workshops on issues such as gender perspective, diversity, and inclusion.

In the community

  • “Closing the digital breach”: a program we created that will train 200 beneficiaries of  Ceprodih, an NGO that generates job placement alternatives for women with children in situations of high social risk (unemployment, domestic violence, and helplessness during pregnancy).

SDG 8: Decent work and economic growth

Why Hikko commits

We believe that inclusive and sustained economic growth can drive progress, create decent jobs for all and improve living standards.
