As said earlier, we at Teleperformance know the importance of helping others, that’s why we created the Citizen of the World. A program dedicated on supporting others in need. We help those most vulnerable with medical care, food, basic items and education. We focus on improving communities in developing countries and in order to do so, we focus on each person. Our goal is to build a better future and that is only possible when people come together. That’s why with the joint effort all employees and other brands who partner with us, is it possible to impact people all over the world. Of course, we don’t stop here. Many of our employees participate in the Food Bank, alongside hundreds of other volunteers to help select and package goods for others in need, knowing that each item that passes their hands will be received with a smile!
It is also important to go green, so we created the Citizen of the Planet program. The goal is simple: protecting the environment. We started reducing water, paper, and waste and because we all are all about improvement, since 2015 we have eliminated plastic waste and created a collection area for plastic caps delivered by our employees that will be handed to Dona Estefânia Hospital to help purchase material that will help take care of children, among several other initiatives.
