Social Responsibility
Our unique focus on people is part of Teleperformance’s DNA. This cornerstone of our strategy is the reason why we take social responsibility so seriously. Our employees are key to our success, and the Group is committed to being an employer of choice in our market, with dedicated programs spanning employee engagement, well-being, diversity and inclusion, human rights, training and development, as well as health and safety.
As a large global employer, with 300,000 employees in 80 countries, we have conscience of our impact on local economy and local employment. We are active participants in helping create jobs around the world through actions that include the Global Impact Sourcing Initiative.
We have launched two corporate initiatives, Citizen of the World (COTW) in 2006 and Citizen of the Planet (COTP) in 2008, which seek to help the less fortunate and protect our environment. Our employees, supported by management, take part in volunteer activities and donate goods and money to support these causes. At a global level, we have pledged our commitment to make the world a better place. We are a signatory of the United Nations Global Compact, and have developed codes and policies in line with the ten principles associated with it.
TP remains committed to these activities and supports our employees in working to create a better world. If you have any questions about our corporate social responsibility activities, or suggestions about how to improve or other concerns, please contact us at csr@teleperformance.com

Citizen of the Planet: A Global Corporate Initiative
It is our commitment to minimize negative environmental impacts by acting in a sustainable manner to ensure future generations have the ability to meet their own needs. Citizen of the Planet (COTP) is a global corporate initiative, implemented in 2008, aimed at ensuring that Teleperformance operates in an environmentally friendly and responsible manner.
In a combined effort we commit to helping our planet by improving facilities to create "sustainable sites" (i.e., water, paper and other waste reductions) and strive for "paperless" environments, as well as recycling, and incentivizing energy and atmosphere improvements. Teleperformance encourages its sites to continuously improve their impact on their local habitats.
A key focus is to track and minimize our overall carbon footprint per employee on a worldwide basis by reducing energy consumption, paper use and solid waste generation, air travel, and water use.
Teleperformance also invests in indoor environmental quality refinements, alternative transportation, and employee education and involvement to extend green efforts to their homes and neighborhoods in addition to the workplace.
It's our commitment to minimize negative environmental impacts by acting in a sustainable manner to ensure future generations have the ability to meet their own needs.
In 2018, our total measured carbon emissions were 160,319 tons, with a carbon footprint per employee (CFE) of 0.712 tons.
