Pillar 4 | The society of the future

Diversity and equality are core values for us at Knowit and we want to contribute to attracting more women to actively seek out and want to work in the tech sector. Our partnership with Women in Tech (WiT) is an important part of this work. Through our joint efforts, we can continue to act as role models, inspire, increase awareness and knowledge to help set the standard for a more inclusive sector, and increase social sustainability.

Knowit Greenhouse is a concept for nurturing knowledge, potential, projects, relationships, clients, our consultants, teams, and Knowit. This is an innovative project, and all aspects are connected to sustainability in some way. Sustainability and innovation go hand in hand and Knowit strives to be a driving force in this.

The purpose behind Greenhouse is to share technical knowledge and innovative thinking with potential clients that have a sustainable business model and help them take their ideas and/or products to the next level. This also gives Knowit employees an opportunity to make the most of their time between assignments, either in a Greenhouse project or through training. Greenhouse uses the power and knowledge within Knowit to contribute to a sustainable future, while the hope is also to attract new clients to Knowit. 

Pro bono initiatives are performed in a decentralized way in all our business areas, to nurture local and personal commitment. Examples of areas where Knowit has contributed pro bono in 2023 include developing and managing apps, web solutions, and intranet solutions for various organizations and associations, and supporting various events in programming with a focus on sustainability.

Knowit has signed Diversity Charter Sweden’s diversity and inclusion statute in order to further strengthen and broaden its equality work. Diversity Charter is a European network created to exchange experiences in diversity and inclusion matters. Up until today, more than 15,000 companies and organizations have joined the network. Diversity Charter Sweden was established by a group of companies in 2010 and has been contributing to disseminating knowledge and sharing experiences of discrimination ever since.
