We’re proud to announce the publication of Gartner’s 2023 Corporate Responsibility Report, our fifth annual disclosure that documents progress on and brings transparency to our work for the benefit of a wide range of Gartner stakeholders.
Our corporate responsibility goal is to contribute to a more sustainable world, so that our associates, shareholders, clients and communities, thrive today and in the future.
This year’s report highlights the impact we have created across five focus areas:
- Associates
- Community Impact
- Environmental Sustainability
- Clients
- Governance
Our associates take pride in helping the communities where we live and work through volunteering and philanthropy. In 2023, Gartner and its associates donated US$7.6 million to support more than 4,100 nonprofit organizations worldwide, and our teams volunteered more than 15,000 hours. Through individual and team efforts, and our employee resource groups, our associates followed their passions and supported causes that mattered the most to them.
Garter associates continue to have a long track record of growth. We put our people first and focus on attracting and recruiting diverse, top talent; cultivating a culture of inclusion; offering a wide range of learning and development opportunities; and providing generous health and wellness benefits.
We continue to strive to minimize environmental impact and embed sustainable best practices into our operations. In 2023, our near-term science-based targets were validated by the Science-Based Targets initiative, and we continued making measurable progress toward decarbonization through initiatives such as purchasing renewable energy, optimizing our real estate portfolio and effectively managing business travel.
As Gartner continues to grow, so does our commitment to improvement. Across our business, whether it is our clients or culture, we uphold the highest ethical standards and look forward to sustained success and an even brighter future for our associates, clients, partners, and the stakeholders and communities we serve.
Together, we'll continue to guide the leaders who shape the world.
