DIRECTV, one of the world's leading providers of digital
television entertainment services, has released its Corporate
Social Responsibility report, highlighting its global efforts
related to Corporate Citizenship, Sustainability, employee
initiatives and much more. For the first time, the report is
available as an interactive microsite with downloadable PDF and can
be found at www.directvcsr.com.
This year, our Corporate Social Responsibility report was
developed in alignment with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI)
G4 Guidelines, an international framework used by organizations to
report their corporate social responsibility performance. The
report is considered “In Accordance – Core” and represents
DIRECTV’s most thorough and transparent reporting yet of its
corporate social responsibility performance.
“We are pleased to share DIRECTV’s Corporate Social
Responsibility report and are proud of the progress we made in 2013
to become a more socially and environmentally responsible company,”
said Michael White, DIRECTV chairman, president and CEO. “Our
strides in Corporate Citizenship, Sustainability and employee
engagement were made possible thanks in large part to the talents
and teamwork of our diverse workforce across the Americas. Moving
forward we will continue to work toward ambitious goals and
communicate progress.”
Highlights from the 2013 report include:
- Civic 50: Points of Light, in
partnership with Bloomberg LP, recognized DIRECTV as one of the
most community-minded companies in the U.S. in its Civic 50 list
for 2013.
- K-12 Education: DIRECTV launched
the DIRECTV Math Challenge, which inspires students to love math
through the use of innovative learning technology. It also used
DIRECTV technology to enrich the educational experience for
students and teachers at thousands of schools through the DIRECTV
GOES TO SCHOOL program in the U.S. and ESCUELA+ in Latin
America.
- Employee Volunteerism: DIRECTV
employees across the Americas volunteered a record 32,000 hours in
2013. In Latin America, the Piedra Papel Tijera volunteer program
saw completion of 27 transformative volunteer projects in nine
countries. In the U.S., employees across the country supported
their communities with playground builds, beach cleanups, food bank
support, student mentorship and more.
- Energy Conservation: DIRECTV's
commitment to producing energy-efficient products remained strong
as it was named ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year for the first time,
thanks in part to its success in decreasing the total energy
consumed per deployed receiver by 6.5 percent - helping DIRECTV
customers save money on their energy bills.
- Carbon Footprint Reduction:
DIRECTV reduced its carbon footprint by 13 percent since 2011.
- Employee Resource Groups:
DIRECTV ended 2013 with five employee resource groups, after the
addition of BAALANCE (Building African-American Leadership and
Navigating the Company Experience). To continue that growth,
DIRECTV is adding a Veterans@DIRECTV employee resource group that
kicks off Nov. 13.
