 Corporate Sustainability and Environmental, Social, and Governance Strategy (“Sustainability Strategy”) continued to focus on strengthening relationships and aligning our key corporate functions and business teams to establish the foundation for our future sustainability goals. From strengthening relationships with stakeholders through social engagement and emphasizing skills-based volunteering, to eliminating barriers to work opportunities with programs like Equity@Work, we consistently create shared value. Our Sustainability Strategy aligns with Kelly’s Enterprise Goals and growth strategy through seven core pillars that address stakeholder expectations and critical risks and opportunities across environmental, social, and governance issues. These core pillars are based on nine United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (“UN SDGs”) and support all programs and initiatives within our Sustainability strategy. This alignment ensures that internal resources and activities have a positive impact on our triple bottom line.
