SOCIETY

At Temenos, we are deeply committed to supporting communities around the world by leveraging our technology, resources, and expertise to drive positive social change. Through our strategic initiatives, we empower local communities to thrive by fostering economic self-sufficiency, improving access to education, and promoting equality. While our impact spans the globe, India holds a special place in our mission, as it is home to 65% of our global workforce and the center of many of our most transformative programs.

Our strategy goes beyond financial resources, utilizing our assets, expertise, and partnerships to address global challenges, support local communities, and foster sustainable development. We aim to align our community investment with our business mission and strategic priorities, ensuring shared value and long-term benefits for communities.

Temenos enhances the quality of life in communities where our employees, partners, and clients live and work through:

• Financial contributions: We provide corporate monetary donations and match the fundraising efforts of our employees to maximize impact.
• In-kind donations: We contribute used IT equipment to local communities and non-profit organizations, helping to bridge the digital divide.
• Employee volunteering: Temenos encourages employees to dedicate their time and expertise to community service projects aligned with our CSR strategic priorities.

Temenos also participates in numerous local community activities throughout the year, celebrating international days such as World Environment Day and World Mental Health Day with local initiatives. From tree planting campaigns to Race for the Cure events supporting cancer awareness, our employees across global offices contribute directly to enhancing the quality of life in their local communities. These activities not only promote environmental stewardship but also foster strong community ties by addressing key social issues through meaningful volunteer work.

One of our most notable community-driven initiatives is the Adopt-iT Program in India. This program empowers underprivileged students by providing digital skills training, access to education, and job opportunities. From 2017 to 2023, we built 13 solar-powered computer labs and smart classrooms in schools across the country, supporting gender equality by providing essential facilities like girls' restrooms to keep young women in school. We also expanded partnerships with universities, establishing the Temenos Innovation Lab at Anna University, giving students real-world experience in financial technology. Additionally, in 2023, 196 need- and merit-based scholarships were awarded to students in fields such as IT, engineering, and computer science, with 60% allocated to young women to encourage careers in STEM fields.

Also, we collaborate with educational institutions to promote digital literacy and innovation through hackathons, research initiatives, and hands-on training. This approach not only helps students gain the skills needed to thrive in today’s digital economy but also fosters long-term partnerships with schools and universities.

Our CSR efforts also extend to projects focused on environmental sustainability and inclusive mobility. In collaboration with the Government of Karnataka, Temenos donated ten retrofitted electric vehicles to individuals with physical disabilities in rural India, promoting eco-friendly and sustainable transportation.

In 2024, we plan to expand the Adopt-iT School Program to more schools and universities, increasing access to education and technology for underserved communities. Additionally, we will continue offering scholarships to students in India and create more opportunities for employee volunteering, focusing on poverty alleviation, financial inclusion, digital inclusion, and gender equality.

At Temenos, we remain deeply committed to leveraging our resources, technology, and partnerships to empower local communities and drive meaningful, sustainable change across the globe.
