Our CSR program
We take our responsibility as a business seriously,
and through Sigma Connected CSR projects, we are committed to supporting our environment, our people, and connecting with the communities in which we operate across the US, UK, South Africa and Australia.
Our community
Sigma Connected charitable foundation
All our employees are given the opportunity to apply for a grant from the Sigma Connected Community Foundation to support a local not-for-profit organization within their communities. We have a quarterly budget of $3,700 which is shared between the suitable applications received each quarter.
Additionally, all employees can make a personal $2 donation directly from their salaries to our nominated charity.
Impact sourcing
We believe there is a different way to do things, including how and who we recruit. Working with support agencies we look to disadvantaged communities or cohorts, in the UK and South Africa, to identify high potential talent and support them into the workplace through specific training and dedicated support.
Benefits:
- Access to an extended talent pool
- Highly committed individuals who want to break the unemployment cycle
- Positive economic impact on the communities in which we operate

Our partners
Our environment
Our aim is to be carbon neutral before the end of 2030, and we are looking at the way we operate and utilize energy so we can achieve our goal.
Treedom
In partnership with environmental charity Treedom, for each new member of the Sigma Connected team, we are giving a tree to farmers in Tanzania, Ecuador and Madagascar, with the aim of helping them with food and shelter while helping us become carbon neutral.
As part of this initiative, new Sigma Connected employees in the US, UK, SA and Australia are given a virtual tree to plant in the Sigma Forest. The gift recipient of each tree receives a clear account of the project activities from the beginning and is regularly updated on what is achieved thanks to their commitment.
Our people
With a diverse workforce in three countries, we want to ensure that everyone in our team has a voice, with a no-blame culture ensuring we are able to progress together.
Sigma Connected women
Committed to gender diversity, we strive to provide an inclusive environment from the top down where women feel understood and respected as professionals and individuals.
We have launched a global initiative, Sigma Women, which ensures the promotion of gender equality.
