Our commitment to Corporate Citizenship and Sustainability is more than a corporate imperative. They’re the pillars upon which we’re building the Now of Work—using our focus on human agility to ignite opportunity and impact for people and the planet.

ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY

Taking Care of Our Planet

We believe that environmental sustainability is good for our planet and our bottom line. As a global professional services firm, our environmental footprint is relatively small and we remain committed to reducing it even more.

Our Goals

    Minimize our carbon emissions:

    • We significantly limit employee travel by plane, train and car.
    • We promote virtual offices and meetings through Project Virtual Connect by deploying new online technologies, processes and workflows, to reduce employee commuting times.

    Decrease our global real estate footprint:

    • In fiscal 2020-2021, we reduced our global real estate footprint by over 60,000 square feet.
    • We created designated virtual offices, shrinking our physical offices by 21% in fiscal 2021.
    • We plan to reduce our physical footprint by an additional 100,000 square feet in the coming years.

    Reduce our reliance on print materials:

    • Nearly all client invoices are processed via electronic billing.
    • We deployed electronic pay stubs for all US employees.
    • We reduced print-based marketing materials in favor of digital assets by 75%.
