Achievements and Future Goals

Our ESG efforts have been recognized globally, and we continue to push boundaries:

  • Ecovadis Silver Rating (81%) in 2024, recognizing our commitment to responsible business practices and sustainability.
  • Soho has committed to net-zero emissions by 2035, and we are actively working with industry partners to ensure we meet this ambitious target.

Social Impact: Championing Diversity and Inclusion

We believe in the power of diversity and inclusion, not only within our workforce but also within the communities we serve. Some of our key social impact achievements include:

22% of Soho’s workforce is from underrepresented communities, with a focus on neurodiverse and disability-inclusive hiring.

  • Soho is a Disability-Owned Business Enterprise (DOBE), which has led to a 27% increase in business from clients seeking diversity-focused partners.

  • We invested over $200,000 in 2023 toward employee training programs, mentorship, and community outreach initiatives aimed at supporting marginalized groups.

To provide the highest quality talent pool while helping underserved and marginalized people, we target several underrepresented and biased profiles and communities like:

  • Veterans
  • Historically black colleges and universities
  • Mothers Returning to Work
  • Hispanic
  • Disabled
  • Other minorities

 

Our outreach efforts, community relationships and unique neurodiversity program makes us one of the most diverse workplaces in the industry.
