DXC Technology (NYSE: DXC) today announced the release of its annual corporate responsibility and sustainability report, which details the company’s contributions and commitment to social and environmental progress.

DXC focuses corporate responsibility (CR) and sustainability efforts in five key areas to make a clear difference with its CR and sustainability work worldwide: Responsible Business, Environment, Employees, Community and Clients. DXC reported progress in all five categories in FY 2017.

The world’s leading independent, end-to-end IT services company, DXC Technology was formed in April 2017 by the merger of CSC with the Enterprise Services business of Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE).

“Today’s digital technologies have the potential to positively influence environmental impacts and enable greater productivity, produce high-value contributions, and address societal challenges from poverty to climate change,” said Mike Lawrie, DXC chairman, president and CEO. “DXC is well positioned to apply the power of digital transformation to help reshape our world for the better, and we believe it is imperative that we leverage our expertise to bring about this change.”

Highlights from the DXC corporate responsibility and sustainability report (in which all data points refer only to former CSC business operations for fiscal year [FY] 2017 unless specifically referenced as HPE Enterprise Services) include the following:

Responsible Business – DXC applies significant focus to running its global business with high ethical standards that reflect the core values of inclusion and diversity, human rights, health and safety, and environmental sustainability that are critical to the company and its clients and partners.

Environment – DXC invests in and applies cloud-based technology to help resolve pressing global issues associated with climate change and natural resource usage. DXC provides clients with energy-efficient computing options via cloud, virtualization and offerings like DXC MyWorkStyle™, which supports an agile working approach. DXC’s data center management maintains data centers with power usage monitoring capabilities to improve operational quality, lower costs and decrease greenhouse gas emissions.

As part of its ongoing commitment to effectively managing internal environmental sustainability, across energy, CO2 emissions and electronic waste, DXC maintains global accreditation to ISO 14001 Environmental Management System certification at select facilities and is also accredited to ISO 50001 Energy Management System across the legacy CSC global strategic data centers.

Employees – Inclusion and diversity are the primary catalysts for the company’s business success, allowing DXC to use its varied strengths to more effectively serve global clients. The Dandelion Program helps people with autism hone IT, life and executive-functioning skills to prepare for careers in software testing, data science and cybersecurity. The DXC Military Recruiting Program provides military-affiliated job seekers one-on-one assistance and career coaching, and an online Skills Translator that instantly matches candidates’ military job title and specialties with DXC career opportunities.

Community – Developing sustainable business-community partnerships to address local economic, social and environmental issues and contribute to sustainable development is key to DXC’s future. The DXC Foundation, a registered 501(c)(3) charity in the United States that provides structure to DXC’s philanthropic activities, plans to continue investing in community-based, employee-led programs in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) learning. The Home of the Brave campaign, which was created to thank U.S. military veterans for their service through planned Veterans Day activities and patient visits at Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) medical facilities, helps improve the lives of military veterans and their families through focused outreach projects.
