Sharing APCO’s 2023 Responsible Business & Corporate Citizenship Report

September 23, 2024

As we reflect on 2022 and 2023, we are filled with a sense of hope for the future. Our journey since 1984 has been one of breaking down barriers, challenging the status quo and advancing equality.

This year has reaffirmed our commitment to these ambitions and our mission to be catalysts for progress in an ever-changing world.

The past two years have seen significant challenges, from global economic uncertainties to ongoing social and environmental issues. Yet, amid these trials, we have witnessed remarkable resilience and adaptability within our organization and among our partners. The past four decades are not just a milestone for APCO; they are a testament to the strength and dedication of our team, our clients and our stakeholders.

Today, APCO has grown into an independent, majority employee- and women-owned company with more than 1,200 team members in 30 countries. Our global reach and diverse expertise enable us to influence positive change on a substantial scale.

Together with our operating principles, our values of boldness, inclusivity, curiosity and empathy are the foundation of our strategies, operations and the counsel we provide to clients. We are committed to ensuring that our actions reflect our core values as we continue pushing boundaries, championing diversity, committing to ongoing learning and staying empathetic to the perspectives of all APCO stakeholders.

As we celebrate our 40th anniversary and our 20th year of independence, we recognize the importance of looking forward. Our independence allows us the agility to invest in areas of impact and boldly evolve our business, as we’ve done over the last 40 years and will continue to do going forward. Our commitment to corporate responsibility is unwavering, and we are dedicated to being transparent and accountable in our actions. This year’s Responsible Business and Citizenship report offers a candid review of our achievements in 2022 and 2023 and areas for growth.

While the world continues to evolve rapidly, our core values remain steadfast. The journey toward being best-in-class in corporate responsibility is ongoing, and it is one we embrace with determination and optimism. As we look to the future, we are excited about the opportunities ahead and remain committed to making a meaningful impact for both people and the planet.
