  Fighting climate change

  In 2020, Thomson Reuters joined the Science Based Targets initiative, committing to reduce Scope 1 & 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 50% by 2030 from 2018 baseline levels, as well ; as reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from fuel and energy-related activities, business travel, and employee commuting by 25% by 2025 from 2019 baseline levels. Additionally, Thomson ; Reuters aims to require 65% of suppliers by spend to have Science Based Targets by 2025. Since 2021, we have sourced renewable energy for 100% of our operations. We have achieved this largely through the purchase of renewable power by matching our electricity usage with renewable energy credits acquired around the world.; Largely through investment in renewable power for our facilities, we’ve been able to drive more than a 93% reduction in Scope 1 &2 GHG emissions from our 2018 baseline. To date, business travel ; emissions are 66% lower than our 2019 baseline and we have made progress on our engagement target with our supply chain, with 32.5% of suppliers by spend committed to Science Based ; Targets. In addition to the switch to renewable energy, Thomson Reuters remains carbon neutral through offsetting the remaining portion of its GHG footprint through carbon offsets. We spent ; an average of 8% of our total US-based spend with diverse suppliers and our commitment is to maintain this for 2023 despite macroeconomic pressures and inflation impact. We continue to ; refine our procurement process to incentivise working with suppliers who share our commitment to sustainability.

  Covid-19 recovery

  In 2020, the global COVID-19 pandemic created unprecedented health risks to our employees, customers and suppliers, and containment measures intended to mitigate the impact of the pandemic resulted in global economic crisis and uncertainty. In response to the pandemic, we immediately transitioned most of our staff to a virtual work environment. At the same time, we worked with; our approximately 500,000 customers to ensure continued access to our products and services. Thomson Reuters developed a Small Business COVID-19 Resource Center to support our legal, tax, compliance, and government professionals as they navigated this difficult period. We still continue to provide this support and we provide authoritative guidance on everything from best practices on proper treatment of stimulus payments in tax filings to important legal resources, the Resource Center was and continues to be a critical information hub for those who need it most.

  Tackling economic inequality

  In support of diverse and minority-owned small businesses, Thomson Reuters partners with CVM, a supplier.io company, which has a proprietary database of nearly 1 million diverse and small businesses. CVM’s database is used by many Fortune 500 companies when they are looking for qualified diverse and small suppliers to consider for purchasing opportunities.; Together with the launch of our Supplier Diversity & Sustainability Program, we have equipped our team of Sourcing Managers and Buyers with the necessary tools for them to incorporate Diverse Suppliers into most of our competitive bid processes (RFI/RFP/RFQs) so that we greatly increase their opportunities to win our business.; We have also changed our tendering process to ensure that suppliers which comply with specific sustainability and diversity measures will have additional weight in our evaluation methodology, increasing their likelihood of being successful in the tender.; Thomson Reuters is committed to providing opportunities for diverse and sustainable businesses to prosper, by actively engaging suppliers that help us address the diverse needs of the global marketplace, and by promoting financial inclusion practices for the benefit of minority groups.; We expect companies seeking to do business with Thomson Reuters to demonstrate that the goods and services they provide to us come from sources that share and are committed to our values, such that their business practices are consistent with the needs and expectations of our customers, investors, and the global community we serve.

  Equal opportunity

  In 2022/23, we continued to increase the representation of racially/ethnically diverse talent in senior leadership. Racially/ethnically diverse representation in senior leadership increased by 2% year-over-year and the number of Black employees in senior leadership increased by one year-over year. We have successfully increased Black senior executive hiring as a result of focused efforts to establish relationships with senior Black talent and achieving diverse candidate slates for executive recruitment. we continue to focused actions to support growth and improve retention include highlighting Black high potential talent in CEO talent reviews, stay interviews, career coaching and opportunity matching, and mentorship by executive team members. Recruiting diverse talent, of course, is just part of the equation. We also need to make sure we’re doing everything we can to accelerate the ; careers of people from diverse backgrounds once they’re here, by exposing them to differentiated development opportunities and sponsorship. ; This year, we did that by expanding our Diverse Talent Academy program, in partnership with McKinsey, to equip our future leaders ; with the skills, peer networks, and sponsorship to achieve their aspirations and grow within Thomson Reuters. ; With specific Academies focused on Hispanic/Latino, Black, and Asian talent, the program reached over 200 racial and ethnically diverse colleagues across the company, more than doubling its reach and impact from the previous year.

  Wellbeing

  At Thomson Reuters, the impact of the pandemic has motivated us to expand our efforts in employee wellbeing. Since 2022 we have rolled out new initiatives and commitments. On May 2 and October 25, we’re encouraging all our employees to take a break These mental health days are now a permanent feature of our commitment to supporting employee wellbeing. Technology is helping us deliver mental health supports and we’re investing in the tools our people need to assess their mental health and to support their team members, and families. We have launched new psychological and resilience self-assessment tools to help employees identify their strengths and risks and develop individualised strategies. Using the Headspace app, we introduced a 14-day mindfulness challenge which can include activities ranging from mini meditation in the morning to breathing exercises before bed.; When dealing with mental health and wellbeing at work, it’s critical to create safe spaces for important conversations, learning and sharing without judgement. To support our people leaders in creating safe spaces to talk about mental health, we have launched a mental health playbook – a resource guide for addressing mental health concerns with their colleagues. Other tools we’ve introduced include an extensive series of live and on-demand webinars for people managers and employees on topics such as on meditation, suicide prevention, change and anxiety and resilience.; While a company can create programs and provide tools for their employees, modelling behaviour is essential. We encourage all our executives and people leaders to speak out on issues of mental health and wellbeing to help break the stigma. It’s important as leaders that we let our people know that it’s okay to say you’re not okay.; We’re on a journey to being a global leader in wellbeing, and our work has only just begun.
