Working to Change the World
Our fourth annual Working to Change the World report details the advancements we have made across each of our strategic pillars while maintaining our focus on driving change – one job at a time.
Our Plan
Our Working to Change the World Plan is integral to our business strategy and focused on the areas of greatest impact. The three strategic pillars of our plan — Planet, People & Prosperity, and Principles of Governance — address pressing issues facing our world and serve as a performance framework as we guide employers and workers to new opportunities within this moment of transformation.

Environmental (E)
Delivering on our validated, science-based targets to reduce emissions by 2030 and reach net zero by 2045.
Social (S)
Being Creators of Talent at Scale and finding meaningful work for all.
Governance (G)
Setting high ethical standards for our industry and creating long-term value for all stakeholders.
People, Planet, and Technology Convergence
The jobs we are filling and the skills we are building are increasingly future-focused. The global green transition remains a priority for businesses and communities around the world, even as political winds shift. At the same time, generative AI is sweeping across the global business landscape at unprecedented speed. Filling global talent gaps is vital to the expansion of these emerging industries and growth sectors.
We believe the full impact of AI on the workforce will play to strengths of human capabilities. AI will augment the human capacity to analyze, strategize, communicate, and connect better with each other on issues that drive value for organizations, while reducing repetitive and lower value-added tasks as part of any given job. As one of the World's Most Ethical Companies, we are committed to leveraging AI to grow our business while keeping data privacy, strong governance and industry-leading ethics front and center.

"Reaching our ethics and sustainability goals begins with helping people prosper in a future of work that is increasingly digital and globally connected. For us, improving people's long-term employability by upskilling them for growth jobs is how we create a path for the ethical application of new technology and make our planet more livable for all. We are proud of the strides we have made and will continue to lead by example – accelerating action to create lasting value for all stakeholders."
