2019 Corporate Responsibility Report
Shaping a More Successful Future
Integrity is at the core of all that we do
It is a commitment to the highest ethical standards and doing the right things. This means striving to not only be a great company, but also to be a good company. Learn how we're creating a more successful future for our associates, our clients and our world through our approach to corporate responsibility.
Practicing strong governance
Gartner is committed to maintaining strong corporate governance, risk management and data protection practices, and adherence to our code of conduct. Our associates, leaders across the Gartner organization and our Board of Directors embrace the Code of Conduct because it protects and advances our greatest assets: Our people and our brand.
Putting our people first
Our people represent our largest investment and our most valuable asset. Our formula is simple: Attract the best talent, empower associates to reach their full potential and foster a positive, inclusive environment where they can thrive. The results? Exceptional associate experiences and success for our organization.
Managing our environmental impact
We strive to minimize our environmental impact and position sustainability as a key factor in decision making. As a service company, our most significant opportunities lie in making strategic decisions around where we locate our offices, how we design and build out interiors, how we operate day to day and how we select vendors.
Empowering clients
As we help our clients shape a more successful future in an interconnected world, it’s increasingly clear that the definition of business success must extend beyond growth. Fulfilling our purpose now requires that we develop expertise and provide guidance in a broader context that includes factors like social justice and sustainability.
