NEW YORK, Oct. 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Genpact (NYSE:
G), a global professional services firm focused on delivering
digital transformation, announced today that it has been named to
Fortune's "Change the World" list, which honors
companies that are helping to address society's unmet needs.
Genpact was specifically cited for its role in founding the US
Rapid Action Consortium, which brings together leading scientists,
academics and organizations to help companies navigate the
complexities of implementing and operating COVID-19 testing
programs at scale to help businesses across the country – large and
small – create safer workplaces and communities.
In determining this year's winners, Fortune looked at
companies that have had a positive social impact through activities
that are part of their core business strategy. This includes
measurable social impact, business results, and how innovative a
company's efforts are relative to others in its industry.
Fortune highlighted the work of the Consortium in its award
citation, recognizing the challenges that exist in restarting US
businesses.
"Fortune's annual Change the World list celebrates
companies that make measurable progress addressing pressing social
problems, something that has never been more critical or more
needed in today's incredibly complex global environment," said
Alan Murray, CEO, Fortune.
"The list reflects the growing corporate commitment to
stakeholder capitalism, with Genpact and all of these named
companies leading the way in combining
purpose and profit—the best way to assure such
programs are sustainable."
Genpact founded the US Rapid Action Consortium with the Creative
Destruction Lab Rapid Screening Consortium (CDL RSC) in
Canada, and the COVID
Collaborative. Together, these partners leverage thousands of hours
of research, vast quantities of data, and insights to make
available, as a public good, essential screening protocols that are
scalable and can be leveraged by most types of organizations.
Staying true to its purpose, "the relentless pursuit of a world
that works better for people," Genpact is using its digital and
process expertise in solving complex business challenges for global
organizations to help US companies safely return their employees to
on-site work environments.
The US Rapid Action Consortium is an expansion of successful
work done in Canada by the CDL
RSC, of which Genpact also is a founding member. Between the US
Rapid Action Consortium and the CDL RSC, Consortium member
companies have administered more than 630,000 tests across more
than 900 locations. Across locations, the rapid testing program has
detected more than 500 asymptomatic individuals, preventing over
22,000 secondary infections from occurring.
"The Consortium was founded on the belief that the private
sector is and must be a powerful force for progress in combatting
the pandemic," said Stacy
Simpson, global leader of corporate responsibility,
diversity, equity, and inclusion, Genpact, and founder and
co-chair, US Rapid Action Consortium. "We're extremely proud
that Fortune has recognized the mission and progress of the
Rapid Action Consortium. In addition to being a global health
crisis, COVID-19 is also an information problem of the size and
scale the world has never seen before. As with any complex
information problem, the solution requires intelligent use of data
and technology, and the right parties to come together to
collectively learn, innovate, and rapidly iterate to create
impact."

Action Consortium may visit its website here.
