ESG Initiatives at TARGIT
At TARGIT social and environmental responsibility go hand-in-hand with our people-first company culture.
And we believe that no one can do everything, but everyone can do something.
People & Planet
By taking part in Environmental, Social, Governance (ESG) projects, we aim to help build a sustainable future while fostering an inclusive work environment for all employees.
TARGIT is committed to championing an ESG strategy across our hiring, business, and management practices. This strategy affects all areas of our organization, including how we recruit new team members, how we structure our daily operations, and how we give back to our local and global communities.
Heading Towards Carbon Neutrality While Embracing Diversity
TARGIT aims to achieve carbon neutrality by 2025, a goal that reflects our firm commitment to sustainable practices across all our offices. We strive to implement sustainable, eco-friendly practices .
We also acknowledge the importance of diversity and inclusion in the workplace and the traditionally male-dominated software industry in which we operate. Our social initiatives are critical for our diverse, international workforce in which culture and language differences have the potential to impact interpersonal relationships.

Environmental Initiatives
Eco-Friendly Workplace & Customer Resources
Our hybrid work options allow employees to work for TARGIT from anywhere — no commute required! We also offer online eLearning courses to provide training to TARGIT users worldwide in a flexible, eco-friendly format.
Reduction of Carbon Emissions
We audited our Aalborg office to find opportunities to reduce power consumption. As a result, lights now turn on when someone passes by a sensor and only stay on for 15 minutes. Similar energy-saving measures have been implemented where applicable.
Waste Sorting
We have equipped the canteen and other communal areas in our Aalborg office with color-coded bins that allow for the proper sorting of waste and recyclables.
Reduction of Food Waste
Our team in Aalborg takes home leftover food from catered in-office lunches and other social events, resulting in a significant reduction of unnecessary food waste.
Social Initiatives
Inclusive Hiring Practices
Our Human Resources team actively works to attract more women to the organization through ongoing recruiting efforts and networking. Every job posting we publish includes a statement of inclusivity that encourages individuals from diverse backgrounds to apply.

Onboarding and Culture
We recently implemented a new Onboarding Program centered around equity and inclusion to ensure that all new employees, regardless of age, gender, religion, sexual orientation, country of origin, or ethnicity, receive a warm welcome and internal support.

Charity
Every year, TARGIT donates to three charitable organizations, which are chosen by a committee of employees. This committee changes each year, giving all employees the opportunity to support a charity they are passionate about.
Previously, we have supported the Danish Cancer Society, ICRC, IFRC, Save the Children, and various other humanitarian organizations worldwide.
Employee Wellness
TARGIT invests in employee well-being by offering comprehensive health benefits, in-office wellness activities, and company-sponsored staff events throughout the year.
We also regularly send out employee surveys so team members can share feedback with management on collaboration, leadership, and various drivers of our company values and culture.
Partnering for Positive Impact
TARGIT has been a part of the private equity fund GRO Capital since 2017. As a part of this partnership, GRO collaborates with TARGIT and the rest of its portfolio to define and execute various ESG projects. GRO provides TARGIT with expert guidance, as well as project resources, routine check-ins, and training webinars for management teams, to help us reach our sustainability goals.
Through the collaborative efforts of our employees and the support of GRO Capital, we hope to achieve our sustainability goals and create a positive impact on the planet and our workforce.
