Professional Integrity

Since 2019, GFT has been a member of the United Nations Global Compact, the largest voluntary initiative for responsible corporate governance worldwide. Together with our Corporate Governance framework, it forms the foundation for how we manage our business responsibly. We believe that strong governance stakeholder engagement, and transparent sustainability practices are essential to long-term business success. 

The Administrative Board of GFT Technologies SE is responsible for corporate strategy and all major decisions, including sustainability. It gives due consideration to environmental and social objectives, and systematically identifies and evaluates the impacts, risks and opportunities associated with these factors.

The Group CSR Committee is a Group-wide and cross-functional steering committee chaired by the CFO that supports and reports to the Administrative Board. Meeting three times a year, it reviews progress on the CSR agenda at operating level and advises on implementing measures to achieve our sustainability goals. 

GFT’s Compliance Management System ensures adherence to legal requirements, ethical standards, and internationally recognised labor and social norms, as set out in our global Code of Ethics and Code of Conduct. We respect employees’ rights to freedom of association and collective bargaining, and where restricted by law, support alternative forms of representation. The Compliance Office oversees implementation, training, and reporting channels. More information is available on our Compliance page. 

As a reliable provider of technology solutions, we understand our environmental accountability and its importance. We strive to increase our operational efficiency including energy consumption, raise the share of renewable energy, and adopt more sustainable procurement practices. The basis for environmental and climate protection is set out in our Group Environmental Policy, which is binding for all employees of all Group companies.

Our cybersecurity & resilience strategy aims to protect the company, its people, and its tangible and intangible assets, while ensuring business continuity. 

Our information security management system (ISMS) is certified to ISO/IEC 27001 for exemplary areas and ensures consistent security policies across all entities.. Our German subsidiary is also TISAX certified for the automotive industry. 

All employees are responsible for data security and complete annual mandatory training. Our Global Information Security Operations Centre (GISOC) monitors systems 24/7, supported by a zero trust network model. GFT’s resilient business model includes distributed delivery processes, cloud-based applications, and a hybrid working model, ensuring business continuity and security.
