In our most recent work, we are…

• Continuing to invest in Feeding America, the nation’s largest hunger relief organization, to provide nutritious meals to communities in need. In the U.S., 53 million people are food insecure. Across multiple U.S. cities, our employees volunteer to support their local Feeding America partner food banks through food rescue, community gardening, skills-based mentoring, mobile pantry distributions and food repacking.
• Partnering with Junior Achievement (JA) of New Jersey to help address educational gaps through career readiness, financial empowerment and entrepreneurship programs. JA has historically served a diverse student population, with 53% eligible for the state's free or reduced lunch program. HCLTech will collaborate on a local and national scale to provide hands-on learning opportunities for students that connect education, work and community.
• Strengthening our longstanding commitment to gender diversity in the tech industry and equitable employment opportunities. Our partnership with Girl Up—a global movement by the United Nations Foundation operating in 130 countries, including all 50 U.S. states. Through Girl Up’s Mentorship Program, STEM for Good Social Bootcamp, Innovation Lab and Global Leadership Summit, our employees will help positively impact young women’s lives and trajectories from around the world.
• Committing to planting 100,000 trees and volunteering on the ground across North and South America with One Tree Planted. These reforestation efforts not only have a positive impact on the environment—but offer economic and social benefits to local farmers and communities. This global organization utilizes innovative technology to monitor progress and has planted over 40 million trees in more than 47 countries since 2014.

“Our mission at HCLTech goes far beyond the business world. We understand how crucial it is to take responsibility for the communities in which we live and work,” said Nidhi Pundhir, Global CSR Director, HCL Foundation. “These partnerships will help build further momentum as we work to take meaningful action on some of the most important issues facing the world, from food insecurity to the environment and equitable education and work opportunities.”

“HCLTech has been a steady champion of efforts to foster more education and upskilling opportunities to diverse workforces around the world,” said Melissa Kilby, Executive Director, Girl Up. “We are excited to be in partnership with HCLTech and to educate and invest in the next generation of transformative girl and youth leaders in STEM, together. Our STEM for Social Good Bootcamp will support future generations of women technologists to envision and implement technology-driven solutions aimed at making our cities safer and more accessible for everyone.”
