The debate on sustainability and the role of artificial intelligence in business transformation is no longer limited to large international forums or summits. More and more companies are integrating these concepts into the heart of their strategy, and Kyndryl has made public its corporate citizenship report corresponding to fiscal year 2025.
Far from being a technical document, the report reflects a deep change in how the company understands its role in society: environment, people and trust. Three axes that are intertwined in a narrative where the reduction of emissions, the training in advanced technologies and the impulse of the responsible AI are key pieces.
Sustainability as a priority
In environmental matters, Kyndryl announces a 18% reduction in its greenhouse gas emissions compared to 2023. This advance is aligned with its objective of achieving zero net emissions by 2040 and has the validation of the Science Based Targets initiative. To this is added a 15% cut in the total energy consumption and the fact that 58% of the electricity acquired by the company comes from renewable sources.
These indicators not only show progress, but reinforce Kyndryl’s position within an increasingly pressured technological sector to demonstrate measurable results in decarbonization.

Training and inclusion at the center of the strategy
The report also underlines advances in people’s field. The company has doubled the training hours of its employees in direct contact with customers, with special emphasis on learning advanced technologies. At the cultural level, the launch of Kinship @ Kyndryl stands out, a team created to promote the inclusion, belonging and well -being of professionals.
In the words of Faith Taylor, senior vice president of global citizenship and sustainability: “Corporate citizenship is the engine for innovation, growth and global impact on Kyndryl. We are committed to promoting sustainability, empowering our template and our communities, guaranteeing high standards of corporate governance and supporting our clients in the achievement of their objectives.”
Responsible and technological solutions with impact
One of the most weight chapters in the report is the one that addresses the artificial intelligence strategy. Kyndryl has launched a solid governance model that ensures the responsible use of AI tools and solutions, both within the organization and in clients with clients.
In addition, the company has enhanced its sustainability services based on artificial intelligence. These solutions allow other organizations to define their strategy, accelerate the transformation and comply with regional regulations on emissions and energy efficiency.
The Kyndryl Foundation has also reinforced this line, with subsidies to 12 organizations from 11 countries to train more than 49,000 people in cybersecurity and artificial intelligence. In Spain, projects such as collaboration with Cibervolutionary, which will allow 5,000 young people in vulnerable environments, stand out training in cybersecurity, or the Tech4all program, in alliance with United Way, which connects students with digital tools to design their professional future.
International recognition and local work
The impact of these initiatives has been recognized in multiple forums. Kyndryl received the Ecovadis Gold Medal, placing himself in the 5% higher of evaluated organizations, and was included both in the Time list of the world’s most sustainable companies and in the Ranking of Forbes of leaders of leaders at zero net emissions. He has also achieved an outstanding position in the ISG provider report Lens ™ Sustainability and ESG – IT Solutions and Services Report.
To this are added more than 60 awards linked to the workplace in just three years since its independence as a company. This set of achievements reinforces the message that the organization seeks to transmit: sustainability, innovation and social commitment are not separate pieces, but a single business vision.
A global vision with local impact
The Spanish case is an example of how a technological giant can translate its global strategy into tangible results for local communities. Initiatives such as cybersecurity training or technological mentoring show that the impact is not measured only in emissions or figures for energy consumption, but also in opportunities created for people in vulnerable environments.
