Today, we released our 2022 Nielsen ESG Report, a progress report on how we’re prioritizing environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues, such as climate change; diversity, equity and inclusion; the engagement of our employees; business integrity; and societal trust in the media.
We know this report is of great interest to our employees, shareholders and other stakeholders who want to understand our strategies and outlook in a time complicated by COVID-19, war, climate change, food insecurity, a renewed focus on systemic racism and the existing disparities among people of color, a rising demand for truth and integrity in the media and so much more.
Last year, in the wake of our completed sale of Nielsen Global Connect (now NielsenIQ), we emerged as a rebranded, media-focused company intent on helping to power a better media future for all people. While we are championing change within our industry, we are also taking a close look inside our own company. As part of our reorganization, we reviewed our existing ESG focus areas and updated or established a range of new goals to be accomplished by 2024.
Ces objectifs sont notamment les suivants
- 46 % de femmes représentées dans les instances dirigeantes mondiales.
- 5
- 5
- Réduire l'empreinte de notre serveur d'application sur site à 10 %.
- Réduire les dépenses liées aux voyages d'affaires de 25 % par rapport à la base de référence pré-COVID de 2019.
- Augmenter à 30 % la participation des employés à des programmes axés sur la collectivité.
Je suis heureux que nous ayons déjà progressé sur ce dernier objectif. Pour le mois de juin - au cours duquel nous reconnaîtrons pour la première fois la journée du 19 juin comme jour férié aux États-Unis (le 20 juin) et où un grand nombre de nos employés célèbrent le Mois des Fiertés - nous avons également organisé le 9 juin notre 10e Journée de l'impact mondial de Nielsen
Our efforts were literally all over the map. We cleaned a beach in Singapore, we served breakfast at a mission in Auckland, New Zealand, we sorted clothes and toys for a nonprofit organization in Mumbai, and cleaned up a playground in New York City. A group of 30 volunteers did a skills-based virtual “pitch competition” to help two nonprofit organizations working to advance media equity and media literacy. I volunteered for Teach for America, where I encouraged corps members to bring data science to the classroom.
All of these efforts reflect our company culture of engagement and our core values of inclusion, courage and growth. Looking forward to next year, as we prepare to celebrate our 100th year in business, I am energized by the bright future that awaits. We remain committed to innovation and measurement integrity in ESG as we bring the industry forward to capture and reflect the changing face of the audience at large.
