Corporate Responsibility

Giving back —
it's who we are.

At Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­, we believe in the power of being connected, which is why we take connecting to our communities worldwide seriously. Our corporate social responsibility (CSR) efforts empower our 1,400-plus employees across the globe to support what matters most to them locally. And our sustainability initiatives reduce our environmental impact while improving the impact our technology has on our planet.

Here’s how we help make a difference.

Environmental, Social and Governance

Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) status is increasingly important to company performance and overall success, and is used by multiple stakeholders to assess our wider societal contribution as well as the impact on decisions by investors whether to invest in our company. Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­ has established its own ESG program, Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­ RISE, promoting four pillars:

  • Responsibility to promote ethical practices
  • Inclusive culture for employees and the global community
  • Service integrity in performance, security and privacy
  • Environmental performance that protects the world.

Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­â€™s annual ESG reports outline company performance across a range of topics from energy use to diversity in the workforce. Click the covers below to review each report.

Volunteer Service

Each year, our employees around the globe contribute many hours of their own time along with thousands of dollars to improve their communities. In previous years, these contributions have totaled up to 1,490 volunteer hours, $90,000 in employee donations and more than $94,000 in Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­ donations. Locally, many of these charitable initiatives are spearheaded by our employee associations, which include a broad representation of employees at offices who are interested in contributing to their local areas.

Here’s a snapshot of some of our recent efforts:

India

We joined over 24,000 other runners from different organizations and ran in a 10K race and 6K race through the streets of Bangalore’s central business district.

Charitable Giving

We also give back to our communities through donations made locally as well as companywide. As part of this, we let our employees vote annually on the charities that Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­ supports as a company, and, at some offices, we offer a matching fund program through which the company matches individual employee donations, with employees being given an incentive of extra vacation time if they donate a certain amount.

With these programs in place, in 2018, we contributed over $230,000 of money to more than 10 different causes around the globe, including more than $115,000 raised by employees. Just some of the organizations included the , the , the (India), the Nirmaan Organization (India), (Germany), and , among many others.

In addition, we provide in-kind technology services to support , a U.S.-based education program that provides pregnant women and new mothers with free text messages containing information to help them care for their health and their babies’ health. In 2017, we provided over $180,000 in in-kind services to this program.
