Empowering Student Outcomes Through HMH's Corporate Social Responsibility Initiatives

HMH's Commitment to Community Engagement

Houghton Mifflin Harcourt (HMH) is dedicated to partnering with nonprofits, schools, and communities to unlock student potential and provide opportunities for all learners. One of the ways HMH supports this commitment is by empowering its employees to engage in corporate social responsibility efforts. This includes initiatives such as an annual company-wide Volunteer Week, paid time off for volunteer work, and a matching gifts program. By encouraging employee participation in community service, HMH aims to make a positive impact on student outcomes, particularly in underserved communities.

Achieving Sustainable Impact

In 2023, HMH made significant strides in its social responsibility initiatives, with 1,779 employees volunteering, 16,081 students benefiting from volunteer activities, and a total of 7,246 volunteer hours logged. These efforts align with the company's mission to advance student outcomes globally. By focusing on volunteerism and community engagement, HMH contributes to achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goal 4, which aims to ensure quality education and lifelong learning opportunities for all.

Supporting Communities Through Cares Councils

HMH is proud to establish Cares Councils in major office locations and distribution centers across the US, Ireland, and India, as well as a Remote Cares Council for home-based colleagues. These councils bring together passionate employees who are dedicated to community service and volunteer work. With support from the Corporate Social Responsibility team, council members organize volunteer opportunities and charitable campaigns, leveraging funding and training to engage colleagues in giving back during HMH's Volunteer Week and throughout the year.

Environmental Responsibility and Governance

In addition to community engagement, HMH places a strong emphasis on environmental sustainability and governance. The company's 2023 Environmental, Social, and Governance Report showcases its commitment to supporting communities and schools, fostering employee growth, and prioritizing environmental care. By making environmentally responsible choices, HMH aims to create a better world for all children, aligning its corporate values with the goals of sustainability and social responsibility.

Creating Impactful Partnerships

HMH collaborates with nonprofit organizations like City Year and 826 Boston to advance student outcomes and empower underserved students. Through partnerships with City Year, HMH sponsors AmeriCorps members and engages in volunteer projects and learning events. Similarly, the partnership with 826 Boston focuses on empowering students through writing and mentoring programs. These collaborations reflect HMH's dedication to fostering educational opportunities and supporting communities for long-term success.
