HireRight to Set SBTi Goals

HireRight Holdings Corporation, a provider of global background screening services and workforce solutions, is in the process of setting its science-based targets and signing on to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) to target and reduce carbon emissions by 2050.

The company discloses its environmental impact through the globally recognized bodies CDP and Ecovadis. In 2023, HireRight recorded its GHG emissions in Scopes 1, 2 and 3, revealing low fossil fuel consumption — around 1% of the company’s carbon footprint.

HireRight published details in its latest Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) report. 

“I am excited to share the vital work we’ve been undertaking to accomplish HireRight’s important ESG goals,” said Steve Girdler, Global Managing Director and Head of Corporate Responsibility at HireRight, in a statement. “In 2023, we calculated our initial greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and are in the process of setting our science-based targets to further improve performance. These efforts establish our commitment to achieving net zero carbon emissions — and supporting our customers, employees, and investors in achieving their own sustainability goals.”
