Read the Press Release » Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) ESG: Growing a socially and environmentally responsible business At TTEC, meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to enjoy our world is a part of our overarching purpose to “bring humanity to business”. We believe that proactively managing environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) issues as part of our business strategy is critical to our sustainable growth and is an important part of our risk management strategy. Our comprehensive ESG program is built on four pillars -- enlightened people strategy, sustainable climate friendly operations, philanthropy, and responsible information management. These programs are well resourced, active, and vital to our goal of being a global business leader chosen by employees, customers, partners, and investors because of our reputation for operating with integrity and promoting strong ESG best practices across the globe. Sustainable Operations Resource Consumption. TTEC is committed to reducing energy and other resource consumption across our global footprint. In 2019, we reduced energy consumption by nearly 15%. That was made possible by: Using high-efficiency HVAC equipment and implementing a global HVAC temperature standard Enabling building automation controls as standard Converting 8,000 outdated fluorescent light bulbs to LED Introducing electronic remote lighting controls as standard Installing occupancy sensors in offices and meeting rooms We also focused on the reduction in our resource consumption by supporting and encouraging a paperless production floor and installing water-saving touchless faucets at 25% of all restroom facilities globally. Sustainable by Design. TTEC promotes reuse-repurpose-recycle programs throughout the company. Recycling programs and environmentally conscious consumption is designed into our global initiatives. For example, in 2019, we committed over $5.5 million to a CultureCX initiative that converted traditional contact center sites into engaging, collaborative, and innovative workspace. In implementing these enhancements, we added technology enabling physical mobility; invested in furniture and flooring that had 40%-100% of environmentally friendly recycled materials; installed water bottle refill stations to encourage reusable consumption, eliminating disposable drinking caps and bottles from many of our sites; and adopted environmentally-friendly cleaning products. Recycling. Comingled recycling is a standard at all our sites. During 2019, in the United States alone, we recycled 88 tons of material, and collected approximately 648 tons of recyclable waste. Innovator in @Home Employment. TTEC has been recognized for the sixth year in a row by FlexJobs as a leader in providing virtual work opportunities. We are also considered a Top 25 Employer Partner for Remote Work in 2020 by Virtual Vocations. Our Humanify™ @Home platform provides employees with opportunities to work remotely anywhere in the world, reducing commute time and CO2 emissions in the process. The Coronavirus/COVID-19 pandemic provided TTEC with a unique opportunity to expand its work-at-home service delivery model by rapidly transitioning employees to work at home arrangements, and that number is growing every day. Supported by tested technology capabilities at scale, the transition allowed us to maintain life sustaining and essential infrastructure services such as healthcare, communications, financial services, food delivery and other logistics, reducing the stress and disruption to people’s lives during a global health crisis, while providing stable employment. As Coronavirus/COVID-19 pandemic subsides, we expect to continue to expand our Humanify™ @Home platform and reduce our brick & mortar footprint, while expanding our capabilities around the world. Sustainability is Good for Business. Resource consumption management, recycling, and enabling employees to work from home is not only good for the environment, it is also good for our business. It allows us to reduce our real estate, utilities, and equipment costs, improve performance management and increase training efficiency. More importantly, it allows us to increase the loyalty and retention of our talented employee base, thus reducing our cost of recruitment while improving the reliability and quality of our services to our clients and their customers. Recruiting for at-home opportunities, eliminates geographic barriers for a quality talent pool. Our HumanifyTM @Home platform provides attractive employment options for veterans, employees with disabilities, parents, and caretakers at a stage of life where flexibility is as important as compensation. With an average age of 40 and an average work experience of 10+ years, our Humanify™ @Home employees bring unique professional and life experience to our client programs.

Through our centers of excellence, more than 2,100 employees completed certifications in people management, finance & accounting, negotiations, and talent acquisition; 168 participated in our mentorship programs; and 160 completed recognized certification preparatory programs.
