Environmental, Social and Governance
At The New York Times Company, we strive to work in a way that helps society and protects the environment.
We are focused on giving our people a workplace that feels inclusive and rewarding to all, and communicating our environmental impact goals and sustainability efforts. We also support the broader journalistic community and the rights that make it possible to bring the public the information it needs, as well as other charitable efforts.
Environmental Impact
At The Times, we recognize the effects of climate change, and we are taking action to reduce our own impact. We are committed to reducing our carbon footprint and identifying opportunities to improve the sustainability of our business operations.
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
Making The Times a more diverse, equitable and inclusive place to work is core to our strategy and a top priority for our journalism, our business and our company. In recent years, we’ve invested in hiring and developing talent across the company, and we offer a number of benefits and programs that support our progress toward building a place where people of all backgrounds can do the best work of their careers.
Corporate Governance
The New York Times Company believes strong governance practices are essential to executing our strategy, creating long-term value and maintaining the trust of our stakeholders. We believe strong corporate governance is a critical component of our corporate culture.
Our Board has ultimate responsibility for oversight of our ESG practices, policies and initiatives, with certain standing committees maintaining oversight of component areas. The Board and its committees, as applicable, receive regular updates from a cross-functional management leadership team that has the day-to-day responsibility for these matters.
Corporate Social Responsibility
We support journalism groups that strengthen independent journalism where it’s most needed. We are also committed to helping people through educational initiatives, and giving back to the community through college scholarships and financial assistance to those in need.
The New York Times Neediest Cases Fund
For more than 100 years, The New York Times Neediest Cases Fund has supported people in need through generous donations from our readers. These funds are distributed by organizations that provide direct assistance.
Educational Initiatives
The New York Times Company supports a number of education initiatives that teach students about the world and the news media from young age into adulthood.
The New York Times College Scholarship Program
The New York Times College Scholarship Program provides four-year scholarships, mentoring and internship opportunities for recipients.
Campaign for Journalism
In 2022, The Times Company launched a voluntary employee philanthropic matching program to support three non-profit journalism organizations that fund independent journalism in the U.S. and protect press freedom abroad. In this first year, the program had hundreds of donors from across the company and raised funds for the Committee to Protect Journalists, American Journalism Project and Racial Equity in Journalism Fund. The company also matched employee donations and made an additional donation.
Supplier Relationships
We seek to work with suppliers who provide the best combination of price, quality, capability, service, delivery and performance to meet our needs and expectations. Successful relationships respect diversity, the environment and sustainability, and we seek those values in our agencies, business partners and suppliers.
