At Parsons, we are committed to transforming tomorrow for the better through global infrastructure and national security solutions. Our environmental, social, and governance (ESG) strategy is central to that commitment, as part of our focus on delivering a world that is safer, healthier, more connected, and more secure.Parsons is accelerating ESG to achieve climate goals and make the world a better place. Our dedication to Cultivating a Responsible Enterprise, or CARE, informs Parsons’ corporate stewardship and powers our actions to improve sustainability and resilience; enhance a culture of inclusion across genders, sexual orientations, races, and ethnicities; and strengthen governance practices. Our approach to ESG stems from our core values of safety, sustainability, diversity, equality, integrity, and innovation—we apply each of these principles to everything we do, as a company inspired to deliver measurable value for our customers, shareholders, and communities. In 2022, we established new targets for enhancing gender and ethnic/racial diversity and veteran hiring, supported by targeted outreach efforts as part of our recruitment process. We revised executive compensation policies, which tie a portion of our CEO’s and other executive officers’ annual bonuses to diversity. We also hired our first director of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and enhanced partnerships at the executive level and with our employee business resource groups (EBRGs) and DEI Council, focusing on our cultural competencies and intersectionality through actions that educate, elevate, and celebrate our diverse workforce. We committed to update our near- and long-term company-wide emission reductions in line with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). We are proud that we completed 2022 with our lowest global total recordable incident rate in company recorded history, at 0.12, which is ongoing proof that we carry out our commitment to safety for all employees, including mental health and well-being and remote work safety.
