details of the report.
“I’m proud to see us continually attaining new heights as a
socially responsible organization. Over the course of five years,
we’ve formed seven employee resource groups, coordinated various
charitable giving efforts, fostered inclusive programming geared
toward mutual respect and allyship, and implemented sustainable
practices across offices. What’s more, each member of our executive
leadership team is actively engaged with our CSR program, either
acting as executive sponsors or serving on our CSR and Inclusion
and Diversity committees,” said Yogesh Gupta, CEO, Progress. “Today
we’re happy that our work touches the lives of thousands and the
results captured in the 2023 CSR report show not only our progress,
but also the good that can be done when people think and act with
empathy.”
Highlights from the 2023 CSR report include:
Our People
- Inclusion and Belonging: Progress’
seven employee resource groups (ERGs) and its Inclusion and
Diversity (I&D) Committee hosted 40+ activities to support an
inclusive and psychologically safe working environment.
- Wellbeing: Knowing that physical,
mental and financial health are key to performing well at work,
Progress offered a range of activities and programs to support
employees’ personal wellness, including sessions on mindfulness and
stress management, personal finance and access to well-being
resources.
- Professional Development: Committed
to the growth of its people, Progress expanded its professional
development offerings with enhanced programs and resources,
including a new educational webinar series for employees, an
updated catalog in its internal Learning Hub, an inclusive
leadership program and new resources added to its Team Enablement
Portal.
Our Global Community
- Charitable Donation: To enhance its
philanthropic impact and aid employees in their pursuit to serve
the global community through reputable organizations, Progress
invested in an enterprise-wide charitable giving solution. As a
result, the company more than doubled the number of organizations
it supported from last year, donating to over 330 certified
charitable organizations worldwide.
- STEM Education: As a firm believer
in the power of education, the company continued its global Women
in STEM Scholarship series and granted college scholarships to five
women in 2023. Since its establishment in 2019, Progress has
awarded scholarships to 14 deserving women across the US, India and
Bulgaria.
- Aid and Allyship: A workforce of
empathetic people, employees worldwide came together throughout the
year to support humanitarian and social causes, including rescue
and recovery endeavors in Turkey, Syria and Maui; LGBTQ+ rights;
and racial justice and equity. ERGs raised close to $20k in giving
efforts and hosted multiple item drives for shelters, veterans and
children in need.
Our Planet
- Office Emissions and Energy Usage:
Continually working to minimize its impact on the environment,
Progress reduced its Scope 1 and Scope 2 carbon footprint by 16%,
energy use by 29% and its year-over-year office CO2 footprint by
3%.
- Sustainability: By encouraging the
use of water dispensers in its Burlington, MA and Sofia, Bulgaria
offices, Progress saved approximately 115,070 plastic water bottles
and avoided an estimated 9,527 kgCO2e. In addition, the Burlington,
MA office composted 6,082 pounds of discarded food and organic
material, an equivalent of 4,111 net pounds of CO2 saved.
Progress operates with a people-centric mindset and strives to
conduct business in ways that positively impacts its people,
customers, communities and the planet. Establishing a corporate
culture of inclusion and belonging, encouraging philanthropic
action and promoting sustainable thinking are just a few of the
ways the company achieves that. Moreover, its employees are the
catapult for goodness driving its CSR Program, Progress for
Tomorrow. They voluntarily form employee resource groups, propose
green programming and organize fundraisers to help those in need.
All this work is why reputable organizations, including The Boston
Globe, Boston Business Journal and The Green Organisation, have
consistently recognized Progress as a top employer and a
philanthropic leader.
