Ethical Profile

Mixed.

SS&C Technologies Holdings, Inc. shows a mixed ethical profile. While aiming for net-zero by 2035 and aligning with ISO 14001:2015, reports suggest significant environmental gaps. Its GIDS division reduced Scope 1 & 2 emissions by 6.29% in 2023. However, SS&C is reportedly not on track for its 2025 emissions target (8,760 tCO2e vs. 6,835 tCO2e goal). Renewable energy use is 12.5%, below its 35% 2025 target. $42.6 million was invested in ESG initiatives in 2023, yet critics note limited company-wide initiatives. For most other ethical areas, comprehensive data is largely unavailable.

Honest & Fair Business

-20

SS&C Technologies has a formal whistleblower policy, including a confidential and anonymous financial concern hotline for accounting, internal controls, or auditing matters.

1
This hotline is monitored by the CFO and General Counsel, and messages are investigated with internal audit verifying these investigations.
2
The policy explicitly prohibits retaliation for reporting violations.
3
However, a whistleblower complaint filed on October 17, 2025, alleges retaliation against employees who reported executive misconduct to HR, claiming HR failed to take meaningful action and that every employee who complained about a supervisor's conduct was allegedly terminated.
4
The company's financial statements are audited annually by a nationally recognized independent accounting firm, and clients receive SOC 1 audits performed by an independent firm, but the specific percentage of revenue, assets, or subsidiaries covered by independent external audit is not provided.
5
Seven of the eight Board members are independent under Nasdaq criteria, which is 87.5%.
6
The company has a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics covering anti-bribery, anti-corruption, and anti-competition, and has adopted a Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) Policy.
7
However, the effectiveness metrics for training are not publicly measured. Energy usage data for SS&C GIDS UK and Ireland is analyzed and verified by a third party, and the Business Carbon Assessment was audited in 2024.
8
Several subsidiaries and corporate entities hold ISO certifications (e.g., ISO 27001, ISO 22301, ISO 14001, ISO 27701, ISO 27017, ISO 27018), but the overall percentage of ethical claims independently verified is not provided.
