We recognise that today’s business landscape is about more than just profitability. At Hansen, we are dedicated to operating a truly sustainable business.
WHAT SUSTAINABILITY MEANS AT HANSEN
At Hansen, sustainability means integrating; responsible business practices, strong governance, environmental stewardship, and positive social impact.
It is through our Sustainability Strategy that we embed sustainability across our business; and we do not do this alone. Our strategy seeks to align our sustainability efforts with the ten principles of the UN Global Compact and a number of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Through our Sustainability Strategy and our annual Sustainability Report, we invite our stakeholders to join us on our journey to being a sustainable, market-leading software and services business.
OUR CLIMATE REPORT
We respect the interconnectedness of climate and sustainability issues within our broader operations. Our plan is to undertake regular assessments of our environmental risks and opportunities. This will enable us to continuously improve our ability to adapt to climate-related hazards and natural disasters in all the regions of our operations.
Our Climate Report is embedded in our FY24 Sustainability Report, which provides detailed information about our approach and considers the TCFD framework. It sets the foundation for Australia’s forthcoming mandatory climate-related financial disclosures.
OUR ENVIRONMENT
We embrace a precautionary approach to environmental challenges, actively pursuing initiatives that foster greater environmental responsibility while delivering economic value to our stakeholders. From selecting sustainable buildings and making eco-friendly energy choices to managing waste and e-waste responsibly, our efforts are woven into every aspect of our operations. We also strive to uplift the communities where we live and work.
Our commitment to minimising our environmental impact reaches beyond operations and extends throughout our entire supply chain. As a software company that services the energy and communication sectors, Hansen also plays a pivotal role in supporting the reduction of the carbon footprint of these sectors.
OUR JOURNEY TO NET ZERO
We recognise the collaborative approach that business must make and the transformative change necessary to limit the global temperature rise to 1.5 °C. We are committed to reducing our carbon footprint through sustainable practices and continuous improvement.
At Hansen, we are taking a phased approach on our journey to become net-zero. We are delighted to share that for the third year in a row our Australian operations have been certified as carbon neutral by Climate Active. More importantly, our Australian emissions are declining even as our business is growing. In the next few years, our intention is to measure GHG emissions across the Hansen global operations as we seek to expand our carbon neutral status globally over time.

RESPONSIBLE BUSINESS PRACTICES
In a world where trust is currency, we always seek to operate with the highest levels of integrity and transparency.
Our focus on maintaining strong governance and security practices to ensure transparency, accountability and ethical conduct, and a proactive approach to risk management, are key enablers for our overall Sustainability Strategy.
DATA PRIVACY AND CYBERSECURITY
Data privacy and cybersecurity are vital to our business.
While we work to reduce the risk of cyberattacks, we recognise that not all can be prevented. To help mitigate risks, we have strong IT security governance and incident response protocols to proactively protect data and enhance the resilience of our global operations.
