Gannett Co., Inc. received five stars from Support the Goals, a global initiative established to rate and recognize companies that support the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). A five-star rating is awarded to companies who actively involve their suppliers in their efforts towards reaching these goals.
Earlier this month, Gannett released its inaugural environmental, social and governance (ESG) report detailing the alignment of its efforts across the company’s corporate social responsibility pillars and pledging to lead the industry in three key areas: people, planet and communities.
“Our teams have been working hard to ensure that Gannett supports and educates suppliers that align with our corporate social responsibility goals,” said Frank O’Toole, President of Gannett Supply Corp. “We are proud to be awarded five stars from Support the Goals as it furthers our commitment to improve the communities we serve.”
“The Sustainable Development Goals are a global call to action for every business. It’s wonderful that Gannett is helping its suppliers learn how to get behind the goals using the unique Support the Goals supplier education program and we’re delighted to award the company with a 5-star rating as a result,” said Colin Curtis, Founder of Support the Goals.
In 2021, Gannett formed a cross-functional committee to establish a formal ESG strategy to help deepen its commitment to a sustainable future. The 2022 ESG report reflects an important initial step towards providing increased transparency of Gannett’s priorities and measured progress.
