Skills Gap

We harness our expertise, talent and investments to partner and volunteer with programs that help underrepresented groups gain the essential STEM and digital skills today’s economy demands.

Inclusive Economy

We use our professional knowledge, skills and resources to strengthen and support advancement for women and the underserved to help ensure everyone has the opportunity to fully participate in the global economy.

Sustainable Environment

We leverage our company’s unique insights and capabilities to create a more just and sustainable environment, countering the adverse effects of climate change and supporting a net-zero economy.

Using People Power for Good

Our people are the foundation of everything we do. Their talent and skills produce the world-class data, insights and products our clients rely on. And their passion and commitment are central elements of our Corporate Responsibility and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion programs. We are committed to creating opportunities for our people to apply their time, talent and expertise in support of local communities.

Around the world, local colleagues act as champions, engaging their peers to participate in workplace and community impact programs. Increasingly, our people are using their unique professional skills and experience in areas including STEM and finance to have a greater impact in the communities we serve. In addition, our employee resource groups across the company are widely engaged in community activities and encouraged to participate in grantmaking through the S&P Global Foundation.

Even during a pandemic our people showed up. In 2020 alone, more than 15,000 service hours were donated to local communities, accounting for $2.1 million in economic value. Similarly, our matching gift program in 2020 saw a 47% increase in usage, with nearly $2 million donated to 2500+ organizations across the globe.
