Corporate citizenship

ICF continues to grow—we’ve doubled in size every five years for the last two decades. But we don’t simply measure our success by size. We see our purpose as building a more prosperous and resilient world for all, delivering solutions to issues across the globe.

To do this, we provide our clients with sustainable answers to some of the world’s most difficult questions. How can we work with both governments and businesses to fuel decarbonization initiatives? In what ways can we help governments track and respond to public health issues? When natural disasters strike, how can we make sure that communities are prepared?

We grow our capacity for good through our work by supporting the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to promote health and education, end hunger and poverty, fight inequality and injustice, and tackle environmental challenges. We promote and celebrate our mission-driven company culture in order to attract and invest in employees who share our desire to make big things possible, all while minimizing our carbon footprint. And we support the communities where we live and work—one 5k, bake sale, and charity auction at a time.

Our people differentiate us. And our success is intimately linked to our culture. Attracting, retaining and growing the best talent is what sets us apart—and how we deliver outstanding results. We work hard to maintain an environment where everyone can thrive—as individuals and as a company.

Promoting diversity, equality, and inclusion

Diversity is critical to maintaining a strong workforce. We are diverse in the roles we hire, from business analyst and communicators to researchers and industry experts. In 2019, we began to update various aspects of our talent acquisition and recruiting process to help ensure we purposefully build a diverse talent pool of qualified candidates.

We have seen increased incidents of extreme weather, displaced populations due to drought and flooding, wildfires, and lost habitats.

We remain committed to doing our part—continuing to raise the bar in our efforts to reduce our carbon footprint. We also advise governments on climate policy, help utilities run energy efficiency programs, promote initiatives that protect fragile ecosystems, and so much more.

The charitable efforts of our employees are the driving force behind our contributions to a safer, healthier, and more resilient world. Growing our capacity for good extends to the volunteer work and donations of our employees.

In 2019, we amplified the charitable contributions of our employees by matching their donations 1-to-1. We also celebrated volunteerism with a three-month campaign to donate $10 for each hour of time given.
