" # $ ) + ( $' A longstanding commitment to an ethical and inclusive digital society For many years, Sopra Steria has pursued an extensive community programme in aid of disadvantaged populations to give them access to education, employment and the benefits of digital technologies, as well as safe drinking water and improved sanitation facilities. The unprecedented situation resulting from the coronavirus crisis in 2020 meant an increasing number of activities and procedures went digital, highlighting the dominant role played by digital technology in forming connections. However, it also exacerbated inequalities affecting those least able to access digital technology. The Group’s longstanding commitment to an ethical and inclusive digital society is more relevant today than ever before. The crisis has given rise to an amazing demonstration of solidarity across all countries. Many employees have, with the Group’s support, got involved in a variety of initiatives: raising funds for hospitals, supporting non-profit organisations through volunteering or skills sponsorship, taking part in coronavirus research hackathons, and many more besides. As a leading digital player with operations in many countries, Sopra Steria implements community actions having a positive and lasting impact on society, with an emphasis on digital inclusion. These actions aim to promote social and professional integration for the most vulnerable and to protect the environment. Playing a key role in the Group’s programme of actions, the Sopra Steria-Institut de France Foundation and all Group entities give shape to these commitments through projects bringing together the Group’s employees and civil society stakeholders. The Foundation, which celebrates its 20 th birthday in 2021, constitutes a remarkable collective adventure shared by the staff and employee volunteers who demonstrate their commitment on a day-to-day basis.
