Our Commitment to the Communities Where We Work and Live

Broadridge strives to be an engaged stakeholder in the communities in which we work and live. For this reason, we seek to make social investments with lasting impact for future generations, making our communities a better place to live.

The Broadridge Foundation

As a company we have a long history of supporting our communities, and we were proud to announce the next chapter in those efforts with the creation of the Broadridge Foundation in March of 2009. One of the Foundation’s key relationships is with the MV Foundation, a non-profit organization inspired by the Magsaysay Award winner, Dr. Shantha Sinha. The MV Foundation has developed a unique and powerful approach to tackle the problems of child labor and illiteracy in India, by enrolling children in Residential Bridge Camps ("RBC"). RBCs provide a learning platform for children who have been involved in bonded and non-bonded labor activities and equip them with the knowledge and skills to integrate them into formal schools of learning.

In the US, the Foundation also supports various charitable causes such as the Make-A-Wish Foundation, the American Cancer Society, the American Heart Association, the United Way and select others. Additionally, our associates can contribute to their communities through our Matching Gift Program, a percentage matching program based on the contributions of our associates. From time to time, the Foundation may evaluate and support other philanthropic endeavors that embody our core values and that have shown an outstanding track record of solid results in their respective fields. That is how, through the Foundation, we can make a social investment one solution at a time.

Other Notable Community Commitments

Broadridge supports Fountain House, an organization headquartered in New York City that provides employment, education, housing and community support for individuals with mental illness.

And we are proud to have partnered with JPMorgan Chase and 10 other large companies in support of the "100,000 Jobs Mission," a commitment to collectively hire 100,000 military members leaving active duty service and other veterans by the end of 2020.

Volunteering

We encourage our associates to volunteer in their communities and many of our associates do so. In our Park Avenue, New York and Edgewood, New York offices our associates help mentor at local grade schools; at our Journal Square, New Jersey office our associates work with Habitat for Humanity and Junior Achievement; at our London office our associates volunteer with The East London Business Alliance by engaging in projects that cater to local, disadvantaged and disabled children and adults; at one of our Canadian offices our associates participate in fundraising challenges through the Inside Ride Project to support families and children with cancer and in one of our Indian office associates volunteer at the local Residential Bridge Camps. Almost every location reaches out to the community.

Our Commitment to the Environment

Broadridge has established the Broadridge Environmental Committee (“BEC”) made up of representatives from multiple departments throughout the organization. This “Green” committee was created with a focus on reducing Broadridge’s impact on our environment.

In line with our carbon footprint initiative, during last year’s proxy season, we used innovative technology to reduce the total volume of mailed proxy packages by 54.1%, which translates to over 160 million fewer envelopes and printed reports.  We have helped many of our clients make great progress in reducing their carbon footprints through e-delivery and e-voting by reducing hardcopy proxy distribution. 

Increasingly, Broadridge is moving toward using environmentally and socially responsible resources to support our operations by initiating the use of paper products certified by the Forestry Stewardship Council (“FSC”). We are committed to further decreasing our carbon footprint through researching, piloting and implementing innovative environmentally friendly solutions.
