GIVING BACK
The best possible footprint
We are an organization committed to each and every one of our employees as well as to our customers. However, all companies have a moral responsibility to apply this commitment also to society and the planet.
As Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff says, “The business of business is improving the state of the world.”
We work to leave the best possible footprint and return everything given to us in a selfless way. To this end, we join the millennium goals presented by the United Nations in its agenda 2030. We share with you some of the actions we are carrying out, thus contributing our grain of sand. These objectives guide, from 2020, the actions we will take to continue contributing more every day.
No poverty

Objective
To eradicate poverty in all its forms throughout the world.
S4G actions
St Martins School aims to provide children in Kibagare (Kenya) with a safe environment where they can play, learn, and receive regular meals.
In this way they help children to improve their options so that they can have a promising future, which will help them to get out of poverty.
A few years ago we were introduced to this school, and it was love at first sight. From the first minute we had a clear idea that someday we could help in this beautiful cause.
That is how our Sponsorship Program was born, through which we provide all S4G colleagues the possibility of sponsoring a child.
The program has two modalities:
- The employee sponsors a child and S4G matches the contribution to sponsor another.
- The employee co-sponsors a child with S4G.
If you want to know a little more about our collaboration with St. Martins School, check out this post by our colleague Juana Valenzuela who was able to live this incredible experience first hand.

Ending hunger, achieving food security and better nutrition, and promoting sustainable agriculture.
S4G ACTIONS
St Martins – Feeding program
For three Saturdays a month, St. Martins School opens its doors to provide a nutritious meal to some 2,000 children in Kibagare.
Over the past few years we have held several charity concerts and various solidarity actions whose profits have been used entirely to participate in the St. Martins feeding program and help as many children as possible .

Good health and well-being

Objective
To ensure a healthy life and promote well-being for everyone at all ages.
S4G ACTIONS
Work occupies a large part of a person’s life, so it is important to take care of the environment of workers by giving priority to their physical and mental health.
As a company we seek that the offices are thought and designed for the comfort of our teammates. In addition we offer fresh food such as fruit for all employees. In this way we intend that whenever they need a snack they have a healthy option at their fingertips.
We also have the possibility of hiring health insurance for both the worker and his/her family.

Quality education

Objective
Ensure inclusive, equitable and quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.
S4G ACTIONS
Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself. – John Dewey
Education is a fundamental right of all human beings, that is why we collaborate in the sponsorship program of St Martins School, helping children in the village of Kibagare to have access to a dignified education.
Elsewhere, for several years we have organized and participated in Coderdojo, a non-profit initiative that promotes the learning of programming in early childhood.
Our colleagues, taking hours out of their free time, have selflessly taught children the basics of programming in a playful and relaxed way.
We also help to ensure the training of our teammates. Our S4G Academy is a training project in which we develop internal masters, English classes for all colleagues, subsidize the Salesforce certifications of the team and carry out actions on the Coursera training platform.
Salesforce began to contribute to and support the Bicicletas sin Fronteras (Bikes without Borders) project with the creation of the Bikeforce event in 2019, an initiative we have also begun to support so that children in Senegal have easier access to education. By providing them with baobikes, bicycles adapted to and manufactured in the country itself, the program helps them avoid having to walk more than 10 kilometers every day to go to school. The project also gives an opportunity to people at risk of social exclusion.

Gender equality

Objective
Achieving gender equality and empowering all women and girls.
S4G ACTIONS
Equality is a fundamental right and one of the foundations for a prosperous and sustainable society and world for all.
The opportunities to grow and develop in S4G do not have gender or age. We seek that everyone has the same opportunities and their career is based on individual merits.

Affordable and clean energy

Objective
Ensure access to affordable, safe, sustainable and modern energy
S4G ACTIONS
Increasingly, markets offer opportunities for affordable, clean energy, whether in offices or homes. This means that we can contribute a little more to the planet, take care of it and give back a little bit of what it gives us.
We have started working with Hola Luz, changing our contract so that part of the energy that arrives to the offices is from renewable sources.
On the other hand, we have an internal policy of awareness of the efficient use of energy, which we reinforce among the employees with periodic communications.

Industry, innovation and infrastructure

Objective
Build resilient infrastructures, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation.
S4G ACTIONS
We provide continuous training to our workers both in soft skills and in technical aptitudes, promoting their ongoing improvement and their growth as professionals.
In addition, we understand that the world of Salesforce is a collaborative and innovative environment itself, providing the basis to continue seeking new challenges. Being a 100% cloud environment, we have the opportunity to develop our innovation in a simple way anywhere in the world.
The result of this growth is the involvement in the company, giving rise to new ideas that end up becoming innovative products developed 100% in S4G.

Reduced inequalities

Objective
Reducing inequality within and between countries.
S4G ACTIONS
Diversity is something that we consider very enriching to us at S4G. We work with people from different parts of the world, with colleagues of approximately 8 different nationalities (Colombia, Ecuador, Argentina, Venezuela, Mexico, United States, Italy, Spain …). All of them have the same opportunities within the company, just as we do not make any gender distinction.

Ensuring sustainable consumption and production patterns

Objective
S4G actions
Within the S4G offices we are very committed to the care of the environment. We recycle plastics, packaging and paper/cardboard. We also have water sources that make water drinkable and avoid the use of plastics.
To avoid the use of paper, we use DocuSign to sign all the documents necessary for the proper functioning of the company (contracts, authorizations, petitions, etc). For corporate stationery materials, we work with a reusable notebook that we give away in the welcome pack, helping avoid paper waste.

CLIMATE ACTION

Objective
Take urgent action to combat climate change and its effects
S4G ACTIONS
In all our offices we make responsible use of air conditioning, including a policy of “cool summers”, meaning all workers can go to the office in shorts, helping reduce the excessive use of air conditioning.
Digitalization and the use of technology is our #1 tool to avoid paper, for example using Docusign as the main platform for digital document signing.
We also avoid the use of paper through our infinite notebook, which can be used over and over again, eliminating our use of conventional paper notebooks.
Being a 100% Cloud company allows us to be more energy efficient due to the reduced infrastructure this requires.
