Corporate Stewardship

Citizenship

Ensuring an inclusive and empowering work environment for our employees. Minimizing our environmental impact. Building strong partnerships with the communities in which we work and serve. At Abt, “mission driven” doesn’t just describe our work; it reflects the way we operate and how we engage with our colleagues and the world.

Abt staff volunteering to build classrooms in Papua New Guinea.

“Abt works in Papua New Guinea, and it is terrific to be able to give back by building classrooms. I firmly believe all children should have the opportunity to learn and potentially create generational improvements in their communities.”

Sustainability

Environmental sustainability is not an afterthought at Abt. We’ve looked at everything that contributes to our environmental footprint—procurement, business travel, commuting, waste and our offices. Our two largest facilities are built to LEED specifications, minimizing energy use and maximizing recycled content materials. In 2015 we committed to decarbonize by 2050, targeting a 25-percent reduction in emissions by 2021. We exceeded that goal--four years ahead of schedule.
