Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG)

C1’s commitment to sustainability

  • C1 has a longstanding commitment to sustainability and ethical business practices. In 2020, we established an Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) Council and began establishing goals across:

    •  Labor & Human Rights
    •  Ethics
    •  Environment (Environmental Policy)
    •  Procurement (Sustainable Procurement Policy)

We are committed to sustainability and employee well-being through a range of initiatives. For 2024, our environmental goals included reducing our carbon footprint by 10%. In 2025, we aim to improve EcoVadis scores, align carbon goals with real estate strategy, enhance employee safety, and promote diversity, equity, and inclusion. Our efforts also focus on increasing employee engagement, supplier diversity, and tracking vendor compliance with our code of conduct and ESG criteria. Learn more.

C1 & Human IT impact report

Last year, C1 partnered with Human IT to help divert technology from landfills and promote sustainability. By collaborating with Human IT, C1 contributed to the refurbishment and redistribution of old electronic devices, turning them into affordable technology for underserved communities. This partnership not only helped reduce e-waste but also provided individuals with access to essential tools for digital literacy and success. Together, C1 and Human IT worked to create a positive environmental impact while supporting digital inclusion for those in need.

Supplier Diversity Program

Our Supplier Diversity Program prioritizes diversity and social responsibility within our corporate culture. We recognize the growing importance of Supplier Diversity in RFPs and are committed to broadening our supplier base to better reflect the customers we serve. To date, we have increased investment in Diversity programs by 300% — and we are just getting started.

 

This approach strengthens our business opportunities. Our program aims to support Small Businesses (SBAs); Minority Business Enterprises (MBEs); Women Business Enterprises (WBEs); Service-Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises (SDVOBEs); Veteran Business Enterprises (VBEs); Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (VOSBs); Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs), Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Business Enterprises (LGBTBEs); and Disability-Owned Business Enterprises (DOBEs) to foster greater diversity and inclusion.

 

If you’re a diverse-owned supplier or subcontractor who would like to explore potential opportunities with C1, we’d love to hear from you!
