Commvault Coporate Social Responsibility Report'23Commvaulter
Content Syndicated from: https://www.commvault.com/blogs/our-2023-corporate-social-responsibility-report
Over the past year, we continued to address barriers and biases in our workforce by hiring, mentoring, and empowering employees from underrepresented groups. Additionally, in listening to our employees, we wholeheartedly embraced a flexible, hybrid workstyle. We celebrated how our employees play a critical role in moving forward our ESG initiatives. During the year, they rallied to support local and global causes, including raising money in response to the tragic earthquake in Turkey and the Crisis in Ukraine. And they continue to innovate solutions to help customers monitor and reduce their energy usage and carbon emissions, as well as support their compliance and regulatory requirements.
Our core values – we connect, we inspire, we care, and we deliver – empower us to drive company performance in a way that serves the planet, our people, and our communities in a responsible, sustainable, and ethical manner. Whether helping our customers and partners manage their data more sustainably, supporting the development and inclusion of our global workforce, or giving back to our communities, we continue to prioritize our stakeholders and treat long-term sustainability as a non-negotiable requirement of doing business.
We remain committed to driving change where we can generate the most influence – in our direct operations, for our partners and customers, with our employees, and within our communities.
I hope you enjoy learning more about our efforts in this year’s report!
“At Commvault, our foundation is built on trust. Our customers trust that we will protect their data in this difficult world. Our employees trust that we will lead them to new opportunities. Our investors trust us to responsibly manage their investment, which we proudly do. And trust is at the heart of our environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives, where we have made significant strides this past year.”
– Sanjay Mirchandani
