The BMC corporate social responsibility (CSR) approach is centered on three key pillars—the BMC Cares program; diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI); and environmental stewardship—guided by ESG best practices for the software and services industry and grounded in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs). Highlighted in the report are some of the impactful initiatives aligned to BMC’s purpose-driven commitments, including:

• Gender Equity—Launched collaboration with UN Women and HeForShe around the importance of male allyship to advance equity, specifically in the tech ecosystem, and drove awareness through the annual Global Move event where more than 1,400 participants logged 3,080 hours to raise $72,000 for UN Women and HeForShe.
• Net-Zero Commitment—Dedicated to achieve net-zero value chain emissions by no later than 2030 alongside more than 1,000 businesses that are working with the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) to reduce their emissions in line with climate science.
