Social sustainability.

Our people are key to our business and its success.

What Social Sustainability means to us.

We’re focused on creating a workplace where our team can reimagine their possibilities by providing a differentiated people experience, celebrating diversity, promoting equity and championing inclusivity. At the same time, they can help to build a healthier, more equitable world through their work. 

From our Chief Human Resources Officer, Stephanie Hasenbos-Case.

“To be a truly sustainable organization, we need to create value for our people across multiple dimensions such as health and well-being, skill building, progress towards equity and an inclusive environment in which they can grow and flourish.”

    Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) is central to creating an exceptional people experience and needs to be embedded throughout the employee lifecycle. We have taken deliberate steps to increase our focus on DEI.

  • Health equity.

    Health equity is the absence of unfair, avoidable or remediable differences among groups of people. Tackling health inequities requires a comprehensive partnership approach across the healthcare ecosystem. This includes addressing social determinants of health such as improving access to primary care healthcare, promoting education, and reducing poverty.  With the support of our leadership and the dedication of our staff, we’re committed to making a real impact for global communities. We see health equity not only as a moral imperative but also as a priority business strategy for our clients, with the potential to open up underserved markets for them and improve healthcare for millions of people.
