Empowering communities around the world
We invest in our communities to help them thrive, and we continue making substantial impacts in the places around the world where we work and live.
We do this by collaborating with our clients, ecosystem and nonprofit partners as well as empowering our approximately 814,000 people to make a difference.
In contributing to progress against a broad spectrum of social and environmental challenges, we prioritize helping underserved populations achieve economic self-sufficiency. In addition, we are empowering the next generation to build a sustainable future to help support thriving local communities.
Improving livelihoods through Learning to Earning
For more than a decade, our Skills to Succeed program equipped people with skills for future employment or entrepreneurship opportunities. Building on this legacy, in 2025 we launched our new Learning to Earning initiative which continues our commitment to skilling and increases our focus on supporting people in securing employment or building a business.
In fiscal 2025, programs supported by Learning to Earning reported that approximately 2.5 million people worldwide gained employment-relevant skills, and more than 190,000 people were supported in finding a job or starting a business.*
We are continuing to use technology to broaden our reach and impact. Building on our long history of running online skilling platforms, we have launched our AI-enabled Learning to Earning portal. This centralized source for free online content aims to help people build the skills and confidence to succeed in the digital economy.
*The same individual may be reported as receiving support in both learning and earning.

AI for Social Impact
AI for Social Impact helps social impact organizations build the confidence, skills, and practical capabilities to use AI responsibly and effectively. Through a global webcast series, in-person and virtual workshops, and targeted pro-bono pilots, we support social impact organizations in turning AI from concept into real-world impact. This reflects our conviction that AI, when applied thoughtfully and ethically, can create meaningful and scalable social value, strengthening digital inclusion and building more resilient communities.
