SANTA ROSA, Calif., May 17, 2021 /CSRwire/ - Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS), a leading technology company that delivers advanced design and validation solutions to help accelerate innovation to connect and secure the world, has released its 2020 Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Report detailing the company's environmental sustainability, social impact and ethical governance initiatives worldwide. In this report, Keysight describes its 2020 crisis response efforts, reports results of its first set of CSR key impact goals, announces new goals with focus areas in net zero emissions and diversity, and validates the role of its solutions in delivering purposeful technology.
Throughout the past year's societal impacts from COVID-19, weather-related disasters, wildfires and political unrest, Keysight maintained progress toward its vision of building a better planet through CSR. The company prioritized crisis response efforts in support of the safety and security of employees, their families and the broader community, while continuing to provide solutions to customers working in critical infrastructure and essential services. At the same time, Keysight closed on its first set of key impact goals, measuring the company's efforts toward meeting its CSR vision. Spanning fiscal years 2015 through 2020, below are the results of these goals:
These results, along with other CSR efforts, garnered Keysight multiple recognitions in the CSR space — such as those detailed on the company's CSR News, Awards and Recognition page — even during the challenging past year.
"Keysight is proud to have successfully closed our first set of CSR key impact goals with this 2020 CSR Report," said Hamish Gray, Keysight senior vice president and executive sponsor of the company's CSR program. "Every employee had a part to play in this extraordinary achievement in global community impact. However, as a company of innovative and critical thinkers focused on continuous improvement, we won't stop here."
Having closed the end-fiscal year 2020 CSR key impact goals, Keysight has announced its next set of short- and long-term measures for helping build a better planet. Along with updated community strengthening and STEM education goals, new targets highlight commitments to net zero emissions and diversity and include the following measures.
In addition to the new key impact goals and continued CSR program work, Keysight's corporate mission of accelerating innovation to connect and secure the world further exemplifies how the company's core competencies help build a better planet. Today's socio-economic and global environmental sustainability challenges have increased the importance and impact of Keysight's solutions in enabling purposeful innovations.
