Education impacts everyone in some capacity. It increases income potential, reduces poverty, boosts economic growth, and gives children hope as they learn and plan for their future.
Our social focus on education has taken many forms, one of which is our new client program. For this program, we donate one year of school for a girl through International Rescue Committee for every new corporate client. Each donation helps pay for the books and supplies necessary for a girl to attend school for an entire year.

In so many ways, 2020 was an unprecedented year—one that impacted worldwide health, the global economy, and the racial injustice crisis. To better respond to the latter situation, we formed a Diversity & Inclusion Team, one dedicated to providing meaningful resources, educational content, and open dialogue to our employees.
In 2020, David Kolb, President of GTN, signed the CEO Action for Diversity and Inclusion™ pledge to show our commitment to this incredibly important issue. Additionally, our employees had the opportunity to sign an “I ACT ON” pledge as an individual to help drive inclusive behavior in their everyday lives. GTN’s commitment to diversity and inclusion extends across all facets of our business, including suppliers, and is a focus that will continue to evolve.
Our employees also believe in doing good and giving back, and they fully embrace it by volunteering their time to communities and organizations they are passionate about. We encourage and support them in their efforts through our GTN Gives Back program, which offers annual paid time off to volunteer during regular work hours.
In addition to the classroom, education is about sharing knowledge and advancing an initiative for the greater good. This is where our focus on sustainability comes into play. At GTN, our sustainability policy follows the three main environmental R’s—Reduce, Reuse, Recycle—by incorporating these practices into our company culture.
