Our global commitment to corporate social responsibility
We ensure our business practices reflect affirmative principles that safeguard human rights, support fair labor, reduce environmental impact and defend against corruption.
A new era of action and impact
The future depends on what we do today. Signatory companies in the United Nations (UN) Global Compact collectively share the same conviction: that business practices rooted in universal principles contribute to a more stable and inclusive global market that improves today and transforms the future.
Joining the global compact naturally aligns with the culture we’ve built. And we’re pleased to be a signatory of the world’s largest voluntary corporate citizenship initiative. Together, we’ll help create prosperous and thriving societies with our commitment to live by the UN Global Compact’s 10 principles.
“What drives the meaningful connections we make is a hunger to deliver better outcomes for the world through intelligent technology solutions. We help build smarter, safer workplaces. We help clients make better use of their resources and data. Most of all, we help keep our communities connected and inspired.„
