Social Sustainability
Connecting people and places to make the world work better
At ISS, our purpose is to ‘connect people and places to make the world work better’ – a purpose that underscores our commitment to delivering social sustainability.
Social sustainability, as we define it, refers to the measurable positive impact we generate for our placemakers, our clients, and local communities. This impact is fuelled by our dedication to social equity, achieved through responsible business practices that emphasize respect, inclusivity and opportunities for all.
As a sustainable workplace provider, we have a collective responsibility to consider how our business activities improve equality, community resilience and well-being for the people and the places where we work, now and in the future.
