Nielsen 2023 ESG Report

Nielsen 2023 ESG Report

We released the 2023 Nielsen Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Report today, our annual progress report on the six key ESG areas Nielsen is focused on: diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I), communities, environment, human capital, data privacy and security, and governance.?

This report is an important benchmark for our employees, clients and stakeholders who are invested in our culture of engagement and our core values of inclusion, courage and growth.

Today’s launch comes exactly one month before Nielsen’s centennial anniversary on August 24. This is a remarkable time in the history of our company and I think our founder, Arthur C. Nielsen Sr., would have been proud to see our progress as an industry leader.

Operating in 55 countries, we see firsthand many of the issues the world is grappling with, from climate change to food insecurity, human rights violations, economic inequality, war and the lingering impact of COVID-19, to name just a few.

As part of our purpose to power a better media future for all people, we champion transparency, integrity, sustainability and equity. We are committed to helping our clients and communities thrive through change. I’m proud that in 2022, we made great strides towards realizing the 2024 ESG goals we shared last year. Here are a few highlights from the past year:

  • We continued progress on our DE&I commitments, exceeding our goal for Hispanic representation in senior leadership in the United States by reaching 6.3%.
  • We reduced our business travel spend by 56% compared to Nielsen’s 2019 pre-COVID baseline.
  • To minimize the carbon impact of the transportation that our field teams use to recruit and maintain relationships with our research panelists, we converted 18% of Nielsen’s global fleet to electric or hybrid vehicles.?
  • Through our Data for Good? pro bono projects, we donated the in-kind value of $21.7 million worth of data, solutions and talent in 2022 to help address critical social and environmental challenges.
  • In 2022, our employees logged more than 21,000 volunteer hours around the world, and more than 24% of employees participated in community-oriented programs.?

As we look to Nielsen’s second century in business, innovation built on responsible, sustainable practices will continue to be the bedrock of our company. Embedded in all of our work is a commitment to engage our people, processes, data and technology to make Nielsen a more responsible company and to help enable a more equitable world, where everyone is included and everyone counts.

Hi David, thanks for sharing! I love what you are doing. If you are open to connecting, send me a request.

ESG is simply good business and this report offers a helpful benchmark for other companies to understand the business benefits that come from an investment in DEI initiatives.

David Kenny - It's remarkable to see Nielsen's dedication to fostering diversity, equity, and inclusion, and your commitment to a more equitable world where everyone counts. The release of your 2023 ESG Report is not just a reflection of progress but a testament to your values and the tangible steps taken to embody them. At UNICORN A TOP Product, we align strongly with your vision for a more inclusive and responsible world. Our mission to end period poverty by ensuring accessibility to period products is driven by a belief in dignity and equity for all. If you share our vision for a world where period poverty is eradicated, I see synergies between our missions that might lead to meaningful collaboration. Perhaps together, we could drive initiatives that leverage our shared values of inclusion and diversity. I hope to connect soon to explore how we might support each other in our goals. #InclusionMatters?#EndPeriodPoverty?#CollaborationForChange
