What we do

Consulting for Good

Consulting for Good describes Sia Partners’ ambition to be a purpose-driven company with CSR at its core. Beyond our own policies, practices, and culture, our comprehensive approach integrates CSR into innovative offerings for our clients worldwide, working across three pillars.


Our CSR Approach


Consulting For Good is Sia Partners’ global Corporate Social Responsibility approach, by which we strive to integrate CSR into the core of our business strategy, operations, and culture. Our approach covers Sia Partners’ practices and policies, as well as the support we offer our clients via innovative offerings centered on sustainability.

 

 Consulting For Good operates across three pillars:

 

  • Climate
  • Social Responsibility
  • Ethics & Compliance
  • We leverage Responsible AI across each of these pillars, putting data science at the service of CSR.

 

Efforts within these labs are both internal and external, and are centered around three global ambitions:

 

  1. We strive to be an engaged consulting firm by minimizing our environmental impact and engaging with local communities.
  2. We aim to be a next-level employer by supporting the career development of our employees, promoting diversity and inclusion, and fostering a sense of community.
  3. We endeavor to be a trusted partner by remaining uncompromising on ethics and compliance, and maintaining responsible relationships with our suppliers.


Climate


The urgent need to limit the scale of climate change is widely acknowledged.

 

Sia Partners has been committed to accelerating carbon reduction and the energy transition for 15 years. 12% of our revenue is generated by offerings related to climate change; we help clients in the public and private sectors navigate the on-going global transition to a low carbon economy. Profound mitigation and adaptation are necessary to build a sustainable, resilient world of tomorrow.


5 Key Focus Areas


Our Climate pillar is focused on 6 pillars that we believe are key to a successful climate transition:

 

Addressing Climate Change: Adapting more sustainable business models by opting for circularity, life cycle assessments and GHG emissions reduction.

Leveraging Technology: Optimizing processes and opening new opportunities via innovative tools, like AI and quantum Computing.

Green Finance: Taking environmental considerations into account to inform investments in the financial sector, allocating resources via green products, assets, and investments.

Government Regulations: Keeping up-to-date with requirements and allocating resources accordingly for reporting, measuring, and adhering to standards

Biodiversity: Protecting the variety of plant and animal life on our planet by preventing the degradation of our oceans and lands.


Social Responsibility

Companies in all industries have an important social responsibility in relation to their people, communities, and other stakeholders. For sustainable growth, it is crucial that employers optimize their practices and policies to strengthen employee engagement and wellbeing. In our Social Responsibility Lab, we develop offerings to help our clients to do precisely this.

 

Our offerings include tools and strategies for promoting diversity and inclusion, integrating best practice Industry 4.0 techniques and trends, optimizing remote working practices, and supporting work-life balance.

 

Additional focus areas for this lab include training & development, burnout and brownout, relocation support, and CSR Policy.


Spotlight: Inclusive Job Ads

Diversity is not only important for employee wellbeing: it is good for business. How can companies attract more diverse talent? One way to start is by examining gender-coded words in job ads. By leveraging the data science capabilities in our Responsible AI lab, we have developed a scraper tool that detects coded language and suggests alternatives which studies have shown to be less biased. By identifying and correcting gender-bias in this way, users are able to attract a more diverse talent pool and ultimately build a more diverse workforce.

 

Ethics & Compliance


Ethics and Compliance are intangible assets that help all types of organizations not only preserve their reputation, but also ensure the loyalty of their clients, investors, and third parties of all kinds, as well as generate new opportunities.

 

Nowadays, the public is more and more concerned with companies’ practices and their abidance not only with the law, but with ethical standards and best practices.

Sia Partners has designed multiple offerings to guide our clients, of all types and sectors, as they address compliance and ethical topics in a structured and innovative fashion, paying particular attention to the implication of all stakeholders and measurable effectiveness of the programs implemented.

 

Our international and multicultural approach allows us to address topics such as anti-corruption, where regulation is oftentimes the result of extra-territorial laws and local customs, necessitating a simultaneous need for flexibility, adaptability, and coherence.

 

In our Ethics & Compliance Lab, we have clearly-defined solutions adaptable to all types of clients, each of them supplemented with cutting-edge tools to provide a comprehensive response to issues related to anti-corruption, data privacy, digital compliance, duty of care, and financial security.


Leveraging Responsible AI


Artificial intelligence is deeply transforming our society and economies. This disruptive technology is creating both new approaches to work and new partnerships between humans and machines, providing opportunities to solve today’s most pressing challenges. While the development of AI creates new opportunities, it also raises new questions about the accountability of AI models, and the need to ensure safeguards for fairness, interpretability, privacy, and security.

 

As part of our Consulting for Good approach, we aim to ensure the ethical, transparent, and accountable use of AI technologies, both in our own solutions and in the projects we conduct with our clients.


-Driving a responsible AI strategy

Our Compliance and Data Science teams combine their expertise to help our clients develop responsible AI strategies and principles based on the values of their organization. Our approach serves our clients’ willingness to self-regulate by offering tools to control ethical risks, enhance the clarity and transparency of models, and govern ethical risk. Our mix of business and technical expertise enables us to address the strategic, organisational, and operational aspects of AI ethics.


-Developing AI responsibly

Sia Partners’ Business and Data Science teams develop tools, guidelines, and additional resources to frame innovation around our AI solutions and accelerators and to develop a strong ethical framework surrounding their use:


  • Governance: Establishing strong governance with clear ethical standards and accountability frameworks ensuring fairness, accountability, transparency, and clarity.
  • Design: Develop solutions that comply with ethical AI design standards and make the process transparent
  • Monitoring: Including algorithmic responsibility, bias, and safety measures in the framework of AI models.
  • Empowering: Democratizing AI within our organization to develop an AI mindset in our consulting offering: Augmented Consulting


Support Consulting for Good offerings

In support of the other Labs, we develop AI solutions and accelerators to build and deploy AI in a manner that empowers people and businesses, and fairly impacts clients and society.  


  • Green Energy
  • Data Protection and Regulation Compliance
  • Social well being
  • HR 

Why working with us

Our culture is centered on 6 core values

Excellence

We strive to deliver superior value and tangible results for our clients by leveraging our expertise and empowering our people. We are committed to raising the bar for ourselves and our industry, which is why we recruit top talent and provide the tools and career support they need to thrive and excel. Our commitment to excellence drives our business and has ensured the trust of our clients.

 


Entrepreneurship

Entrepreneurship is a cornerstone of our firm; the drive to grow has been a constant since our founding. This inspires a working environment that encourages the resourcefulness, risk taking, and tenacity required to transform original and cutting-edge ideas into action. Our entrepreneurial spirit emboldens us to confidently meet the challenges of tomorrow, continuously building legitimacy vis-à-vis our clients and influencing the ecosystems in which we operate.

 


Innovation

We are convinced that, in order to deliver superior value to our clients, innovation takes center stage. As a result, our work culture lends itself to anticipation and divergent, outside-the-box thinking, which drives our investment and positioning beyond traditional consulting.

 


Teamwork

We believe that creating a sense of community is a key to success, that working together enables us to achieve our greatest potential, at once as individuals and as a firm. We therefore aim to cultivate a global culture of sharing: exchanging ideas and resources, sharing in success, and building each other up, across working groups, business units, and geographies. 

 


Care & Support

There is no one-size-fits-all in career development and wellbeing. We value our talent, and believe that individuality and diversity are key to supporting growth. This is why we have rejected the “up and out” model in favor of a more flexible, tailored approach, proposing an array of possible career paths and opportunities for internal engagement. We strive to cultivate an inclusive and supportive environment in which all are encouraged to be their authentic selves and given the flexibility to pursue a meaningful career. By supporting our people in this way, we empower them to explore new ways of thinking, propelling us all forward.

 


Employee Wellbeing

We know that a healthy work-life balance is crucial for wellbeing and productivity, so we strive to instill in our work culture a spirit of collaboration, empathy, and inclusion, while shaping flexible policies and practices that allow for both ambitious career progression and a rich personal life. This includes focusing client assignments on local markets, so that business travel is voluntary. At the end of the day, our goal is to enable our people to find the balance that’s right for them.

Our Values

An expression of our values, our Sia Village concept describes our commitment to fostering a sense of community within and among our offices. We believe that knowledge sharing is the key, not only to innovation, but to the growth and development of our people. Working together allows us to challenge one another and, as a result, raise the bar in our commitment to excellence, both individually and collectively. The conception of our offices is, therefore, a focal point of the Sia Village. Sia Partners office spaces worldwide follow a cohesive design scheme, intended to facilitate teamwork and encourage community and wellbeing. To cultivate a sense of togetherness between offices, our employees have access to a host of collaborative tools and internal networks, like DEIB @ Sia Partners and BU or sector-related clubs. Outside of the office, corporate events, like our annual seminars, are occasions for our people to connect with colleagues from all over the world, in a context that is unique and memorable.
