A word from our CEO
Accelerating Impact in a Transforming Financial Landscape
As we progress through 2025, I’m proud of Aryza’s evolution since our founding nearly 23 years ago. This past year has delivered both strong business growth and measurable ESG progress. Our mission to improve financial health globally remains our focus as we expand our technological capabilities and deepen our sustainability commitments.
We’ve strengthened our leadership with strategic appointments: Kevin O’Neill (Chief Revenue Officer), Alan Molloy (Chief Technology Officer), Niall O’Sullivan (Chief Finance Officer), and Chris Carter in the new Chief Strategy & Planning Officer role. Our governance structure has been enhanced with Tamara McMillen and Michael McAteer joining as Non-Executive Directors.
Our diversity metrics show tangible improvement: female representation increased by more than 10% across our workforce, 44% at senior executive level, and 100% at Board level.
We’ve significantly enhanced our people operations with the introduction of an employee engagement survey platform, performance management tools, and a centralised HR information system group wide. These investments provide better insights into employee satisfaction and development needs while streamlining our people processes.
Our cloud strategy has advanced on two fronts: migrating our internal infrastructure to environmentally responsible providers, and accelerating the transition of our software products to cloud-based delivery models. This approach not only reduces our environmental footprint but enables our clients to benefit from more efficient, scalable solutions with reduced on-premises hardware requirements.
We’ve reinforced our commitment to security and data protection with the achievement of SOC II certification in 2024 and recertification of our ISO27001 standard. These credentials demonstrate our adherence to industry-leading security practices and provide assurance to our clients in an increasingly complex threat landscape.
Environmental performance demonstrates significant progress with emissions reductions of 56% in Scope 1, 31% in Scope 2, and 22% in Scope 3. Our new travel booking system and employee carbon survey provide improved data visibility to drive further action.
Looking ahead, we remain focused on helping clients navigate evolving regulatory requirements for climate-related disclosures while contributing to broader decarbonisation efforts. This ESG report demonstrates our commitment to transparency as we create value that extends beyond financial returns to positive environmental and social impact.
