nexer csr initiatives

Together we can create a promising future. A future we want to live in. That’s why we are involved in different areas and why we take great social responsibility, both near and far.

We have set the bar high when it comes to our climate commitment. The goal is to reduce our emissions by 50 percent by 2030 and to work for efficient and sustainable energy consumption.

The lack of IT skills carries the risk of becoming a major obstacle to development and digital transformation. Therefore, we want to share our knowledge. We also want to show all the fantastic opportunities that are offered in IT and Tech. Focusing on education, gender equality and diversity by collaborating with schools, arranging knowledge events, network meetings and training.

Nexer Cares is our corporate social responsibility (CSR) programme, and we are very proud of it.

UN GLOBAL COMPACT

We stand up for the UN’s ten principles. We are a member of the United Nations Global Compact UN Sustainability Initiative. Since 2015, we have supported their principles of human rights, labour law, the environment and anti-corruption, and we are working hard to integrate them into our corporate strategy.

As part of our promise for a more sustainable future, we target to reach net-zero emissions. By 2025 we will only use renewable energy in all office locations worldwide, reducing scope 1+2 (GHG Protocol) emissions by 60% and scope 3 by 30% compared to year 2021. In addition, we work for efficient and sustainable energy consumption, optimised resource consumption and sustainable travel methods.

EMPOWERING YOUNG PEOPLE

Star for Life is a non-profit organisation that works to empower and motivate young people. So far, more than 500,000 schoolchildren have participated in Star for Life’s four-year programme in public schools across South Africa, Namibia, Tanzania, Sweden, and Ukraine. Through a unique educational programme, the coaches strengthen students’ self-esteem and motivate them to invest in their education and make wise life decisions. In this way, they can more easily build a better future and, as adults, contribute to a more equal, fair, and sustainable society.

TOWARDS A PROMISING FUTURE

The program gives talented young people, aged 17-23, with different backgrounds, the opportunity to build a foundation for a driven entrepreneurial leadership by taking part of knowledge and experiences shared by successful leaders and industry experts. The purpose is to plant seeds of more entrepreneurs in our future society.

Women In Tech – DAYA

A GLOBAL FEMTECH INNOVATION HUB

The IT & tech industry needs equality and diversity. That’s why Nexer is the main sponsor of Women in Tech – DAYA, which is a startup-centric tech house working to advance the Femtech industry. Through the studio, WIT DAYA delivers support to Femtech startups, initiates Femtech projects and works to build a global Femtech community. With this, we hope that more women will find female role models and get encouraged to pursue an entrepreneurship career in tech.

GLOBAL AND EQUAL

Dream Big Nexer Innovation race is a global competition with gender equality at its heart. The aim of the competition is to strengthen entrepreneurs and promising business ideas, as well as addressing the inequality in the business world where only a small proportion of the capital goes to female entrepreneurs. Anyone can compete, either as a team or as an individual, as long as the business idea involves a new service or product in tech and digitalisation that has not yet been commercialised. The nominated entries get to pitch their idea to a renowned jury who select the winner.

FEMALE ROLE MODELS

Women in tech are almost always in a minority. To rectify this gender imbalance, Nexer Network: Women provides a platform for knowledge sharing, inspiration, and joy. Our impactful events feature influential speakers – not only from Nexer but also from other leading organisations – and blend insightful discussions with opportunities for networking and collaboration. By creating a supportive community, we aim to strengthen the presence of women in IT/tech, making strides towards a more inclusive and diverse industry.

A COMMUNITY FOR DEVELOPERS

As a tech-driven company, we are eager to extend our knowledge and contribute to the entire industry. Our primary objective with Nexer Network: Developers is to bring together industry experts, fostering the exchange of knowledge on the latest and most cutting-edge developments in IT. This initiative is designed to establish a vibrant community for individuals who share a passion for IT and tech. You find our past and upcoming events on meetup.com.
