Company's commitment to doing
the right thing is strong
MONTREAL, Sept. 14,
2022 /PRNewswire/ - Alithya Group inc. (TSX: ALYA)
(NASDAQ: ALYA) ("Alithya" or the "Company") is pleased to release
its inaugural ESG Report, a comprehensive document that details the
Company's commitment to environmental, social, and governance
excellence. Alithya's ESG Report outlines current best practices
put forth by the Company, as well as critical measures identified
for future implementation.
Quote from Paul Raymond, President and CEO, Alithya:
"ESG intersects all lines of Alithya's ecosystem, and our
business has far-reaching effects on the important economic sectors
that we service. Since the Company's founding, we have embraced the
responsibility of being an agent of change in our industry, and
that responsibility extends to helping our customers transition to
more sustainable economies. Alithya believes in a world where the
pursuit of excellence in environmental, social, and governance can
be perfectly aligned with business goals, and where value can be
created through sustainability. This ESG Report is an important
step forward in that process, and a commitment that we hope our
stakeholders will embrace as a source of pride."
Key highlights from Alithya's inaugural ESG Report include:
- Workforce Talent: Alithya's long-term strategic plan
embraces Human Capital at its core, and the Company has endeavored
to foster a culture of collaboration and ownership by ensuring that
employees have all of the necessary tools for cultivating their
well-being and personal growth. In striving to be a best-in-class
employer, Alithya invests heavily in the development of its leaders
and employees.
- Organizational Culture: For more than 30 years,
Alithya's culture has been predicated on core values of trust,
respect, integrity, creativity, well-being and passion. Values play
a critical role in the day-to-day operations of the Company, from
the hiring process to the Company's strategic approach to
acquisitions, its commitment to workplace excellence, and its
support for benevolence.
- Cyber Security & Data Privacy: Alithya's commitment
to being a model of cyber security integrity begins at home, with
its business model being dependent on the effective management of
its own systems and data. Externally, from the control room to the
boardroom, Alithya's advanced technology-driven products and
services help customers in finance, government, renewable energy,
and other highly sensitive sectors to enhance their overall cyber
security posture, ensuring that they are equipped with the tools
they need to outpace the rapid evolution of cyber threats.
- Governance: Alithya aims to position itself as a trusted
advisor offering tailored, digitally based solutions to its
customers. Trust and governance are both keys to success that will
enable Alithya to stand out in the fragmented, highly competitive
technological services market. To achieve this, all stakeholders -
from our customers to our employees and our partners - must be
confident that Alithya is guided by strong leadership, has a clear
strategy for success, and has implemented a plan to protect its
future.
- Transitioning to a lower-carbon economy: Alithya
recognizes its responsibility to respond to stakeholder
expectations by operating responsibly. Externally, Alithya's
business engages in complex technology projects that ultimately
contribute to our customers' transitions to lower-carbon economies,
and the Company takes responsibility for delivering products and
services with minimal negative environmental impacts. As a service
provider in the digital transformation space, Alithya's internal
carbon footprint is relatively low. Nevertheless, the Company
understands the importance of clearly establishing the impact of
the entirety of its operations, including the associated effects of
cloud-hosting hardware. In this regard, Alithya has introduced
numerous initiatives aimed at reducing its internal footprint,
including measures targeting tele-working, waste reduction,
recycling optimization, and the operation of efficient premises in
LEED-certified buildings leveraging renewable energy.
