FLORHAM PARK, N.J., Jan. 16, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Conduent Incorporated (Nasdaq: CNDT) today announced the release of its 2019 Corporate Social Responsibility report, which showcases how the company is working beyond its business to help improve the communities it serves. This announcement coincides with “Proud to be Conduent Day,” a day designated at the company for supporting the communities where its employees live and work.
Conduent’s 2019 Corporate Social Responsibility report reinforces the company’s commitment to philanthropic efforts and highlights the progress it has made over the past year in strengthening its communities, empowering its people and governing its business.
“As a business, we deliver mission-critical services and solutions to create exceptional outcomes for our clients and the millions of people who count on them,” said Cliff Skelton, Conduent Chief Executive Officer. “Our mission comes with significant responsibility to society, and we are continuously working to empower our employees, strengthen our global communities and operate responsibly across every interaction.”
Highlights from the 2019 report include:
- Volunteerism: 21,234 Conduent employees took part in 141 volunteer projects, donating over 49,000 hours across the globe, representing a 68 percent increase in employee volunteers from 2018.
- Diversity and Inclusion: with employees in more than 20 countries, Conduent is committed to encouraging a culture of inclusion that is designed to create a strong and effective workforce, reflective of the clients and communities it serves. The company promotes multicultural teams, bringing diverse perspectives to problem-solving along with creativity and innovation.
- Sustainability: through mobile payments to virtual permitting, the report includes a snapshot of how within Conduent Transportation, several of the company’s solutions are having a positive impact on the environment. For example, in Washington, D.C., Conduent’s dynamic pricing for parking helped to achieve a 10 to 15 percent reduction in drivers circling for parking, reduced the time to find parking by 3 minutes, reduced double parking by 55 percent, and increased space availability by 5 percent, all of which contribute to controlling emissions and traffic congestion.
- Governance: updated policies and programs that reflect Conduent’s commitments to safeguard customer information, manage risk, operate with integrity and ethical values, and treat all individuals with dignity and respect. For example, Conduent has adopted The Institute of Internal Auditors Three Lines of Defense Governance Model to help ensure that roles and responsibilities are clearly defined to manage risk across the company.
