Month: June 2023

Join us on our journey towards a sustainable future! We recently organized a Fleet Transformation Workshop where our colleagues had the chance to discover, experience and test drive the latest electric vehicles on the market. Our EV pilot program is expanding rapidly, with EVs now deployed in 14 countries. By adopting electric vehicles, we are making a significant contribution towards achieving our company goal of reducing Scope 1 & 2 emissions by 50% by 2030.

To make progress on our mission and successfully deliver on our strategy and business model to build access to medicine and create long-term value, we continually work to advance sustainable operations and responsible practices. At Viatris, we are committed to addressing key environmental, social and governance matters by leveraging the collective expertise within Viatris and in our partnerships, recognizing that our actions affect the stakeholders and communities we serve.

We are a signatory to the UN Global Compact and committed to its 10 principles on human rights, labour, the environment and anti-corruption. In 2022, this work was as important as ever, as the world was trying to build back economies and healthcare systems amid the COVID pandemic, facing growing health disparities and inflation, as well as the growing impact on and from climate change, including immediate human health impact. The war in Ukraine created urgent needs and for Viatris, ensuring the safety and wellbeing of our colleagues and their families was our immediate priority as well as providing essential medicines to those in need. Thanks to our interconnected global supply chain, we were able to mitigate disruptions and maintain supply of critical medicines as well as participate in and donate to emergency response and relief efforts.

We continue our work to be a trusted partner of key stakeholders to help close gaps to equal access to care, build more resilient healthcare systems, uphold a reliable global supply of medicines, curb climate change and protect the environment, on which human health largely depends. Providing a diverse, equal, and inclusive workplace where colleagues feel engaged, empowered and safe, and upholding ethical practices and a holistic approach to enterprise risk management are foundational for our continued success. Further scaling sustainable practices together with our partners across the value chain helps to protect the global and diverse supply chain on which reliable access for patients across the world hinges.

In 2022, we communicated Viatris’ initial company-wide sustainability goals in the areas of access and health; diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI); and the environment. The work to progress on our goals and priority areas serves the resilience of our operations and supply of medicine, helps us anticipate key stakeholder expectations and support global progress on the UN Sustainable Development Goals for 2030. While there are no easy fixes to many of the world’s challenges, there are significant opportunities for meaningful advancement through diligent and systematic efforts and long-term perspectives. And further, partnerships are essential for scalable and lasting progress. In this report, we are sharing just some of the examples of the hard work being done by colleagues across Viatris and in external collaborations to do our part.

This includes the ongoing work to build access to HIV prevention and treatment, with 65% of children on treatment in 2022 being treated with a Viatris product, and the NCD academy launching new courses available to HCPs across the world – now impacting approximately 48.6 million patients. As part of stimulating DEI and engagement, we conducted our initial employee Voice Survey in 2022, hosted voluntary educational events and will soon introduce required DEI training. We made real progress in pursuit of our environmental goals in climate, water and waste. And we are pleased that the SBTi validated and approved our scope 1, 2 and 3 greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets, while also determining that Viatris’ scope 1 and 2 target ambition is in line with the 1.5°C trajectory.

We can’t underscore enough how everyone at Viatris is part of the journey to build more sustainable access to medicine. And we thank them all for their continuing passion and impact as we work to empower people worldwide to live healthier at every stage of life.

— Lara Ramsburg Head of Corporate Affairs, Viatris

“Addressing key sustainability matters truly is foundational for our relevance and our future success as an employer and as a partner, to our operations and ultimately our ability to advance on our mission. And this work truly involves everyone at Viatris in different ways. It is multifunctional, it happens across geographies, and it goes on all year round.” — Lina Andersson Head of Corporate Social Responsibility, Viatris

CSR Governance 

Viatris’ Board of Directors oversees management’s efforts with respect to corporate environmental and social responsibility matters through its Risk Oversight Committee. The CSR function operates as a center of excellence within the Corporate Affairs leadership team. The Head of Corporate Affairs reports directly to the CEO and communicates quarterly with the Viatris Board through the Risk Oversight Committee together with the Head of Corporate Social Responsibility. The Head of Corporate Social Responsibility drives the strategic and operational development of CSR across the company together with key partners.

A multifunctional CSR Advisory Committee comprised of global leaders with a monthly meeting cadence monitors the external landscape, company progress and supports the integration of corporate environmental and social responsibility activities across the organization. Progress on strategic focus areas and execution of relevant tasks rely on a broad and engaged network of functional leaders across the company.

Not sure where to begin to reclaim your power of the purse? It’s not as hard as you may think, thanks in part to some digital tools you can access right from your phone.

“A big piece of our job as a money coach is celebrating the small steps that lead to the bigger changes and milestones,” says Chad Wolfe, a money coach and student loan specialist at the My Secure Advantage program.

The financial gurus at MSA have been helping T-Mobile employees through the company’s wellbeing website LiveMagenta, which offers everything from physical and mental health services, as well as MSA’s financial wellness coaching. The experts at MSA know their numbers and we’d let them balance our checkbook any day.

Chad says he works on financial fundamentals, like budgeting, debt and credit with clients, but that making use of today’s digital finance tools is a great way to automate and incorporate financial literacy into your everyday life.

“I love that technology has allowed us to be able to pull up our budgeting app in a grocery store or at the mall to see how that potential purchase fits into your plan,” he says. “And we have more information readily available so we can do better or feel more in control of our money rather than having our money controlling us.”

He has some tips on how to begin the process of getting your finances in fighting shape, and even what digital tools you can access right from your mobile device on your path to financial zen.

Demolish Debt

“Money can be a very difficult subject for some people,” says Chad. “That can be especially true when it comes to debt.”

But there are ways you can start the work towards alleviating the strain it causes. Experts like Chad encourage manageable exercises like finding a small debt that doesn’t seem too daunting to tackle and to build up your confidence by eliminating that first within a projected timeline. He says you can also download apps like Qoins, which are designed to help you eradicate specific debts as quick as possible by saving small amounts every day and using those savings to make extra monthly payments. The app asks users to connect checking accounts and to choose their preferred savings method – things like rounding up their credit card purchases and putting aside the change and transferring those savings to your connected debt account for payment.

“I’ve worked with a lot of people who feel tracking is a big piece of building a budget,” says Chad, “especially if they’re new to it or not that comfortable so it helps to hold those dollars accountable towards their goal or helps them to make different decisions to stay on track.”

Ballin’ on a Budget

Now that you’re on the way to being debt free, it’s time to scale for the future with a budget to get you there. But not everything feels like it’s within our control when it comes to financial planning.

“Given our current economic climate and the fact interest rates have been going up, we’ve noticed it’s prompted some phone calls to our organization,” says Chad. “So be sure when it comes to your budget, name it and claim it to set yourself up for success.”

Even if you begin by carving out a small emergency savings to start, make sure you’re looking at the total income, other responsibilities or needs, and trying to pepper in some wants. Then consider setting that up through a payroll deduction to prioritize that savings.

A big piece of our job is celebrating the small steps that lead to the bigger changes and milestones. I think my favorite part of being a money coach, and I’ve been doing this now almost 15 years, is we get to know them and get to celebrate these big things in their life — whether it’s getting debt free or hitting a certain amount of savings, or sometimes that’s even transitioning to retirement or buying a house and seeing their kids get married. -Chad Wolfe, MSA Money Coach

One way to do this easily is digitally. Chad says many people have become familiar with apps like Mint and Simplifi (from Quicken) because they let you to connect your bank accounts and credit cards, putting your transactions on its dashboard and organizing them into budget categories. You can input a savings goal and these apps will show you how much you need to contribute and how often. You can also tell it how much of your budget you want to contribute to a certain category like grocery shopping and it will alert you when you’re getting close to or overshooting that budget Some apps, like Rocket Money, even help you locate wasteful spending by identifying all of your subscriptions, including those you may not even realize you’re still signed up for.

Chad says don’t forget to review your existing bills and accounts and make sure they align with your new budget. If it’s something that detracts you from your goals, it’s worth considering an alternative. And in the spirit of giving customers choices, T-Mobile’s new Go5G Plus Plan packs over $270 in added value for families – with things like Apple TV+ and Netflix included in the plan. There’s also free in-flight Wi-Fi where available and free high-speed data abroad in 215+ destinations (meaning people can stay connected in the air and the minute they’re off the plane). Finding a wireless plan that includes perks most people already pay for out of pocket is another way to save money in the long run when reconsidering how to create and make good on a new budget.

Invest In You

You may be too young to actually imagine the day you retire, but many financial professionals suggest you keep it in mind as early as possible. Some suggest contributing from 10 to 20 percent of your salary each year to it. No surprise that there’s a plethora of apps to help you invest in you by investing in the market! Betterment and Acorns are just a few examples of popular mobile apps out there today that help people invest with ease. Each has its own niche for creating customizable investment plans, often by linking to your spending accounts and automatically taking funds through round ups on your purchases or deposits on a specified weekly or monthly basis so you can set it and forget it.

Try to align programs you’re signed up for so they work together. “I get to play a fun part in helping to delegate some of the benefit integration with things like retirement plan options,” he says.

As Chad pointed out already, interest rates have been rising, which is costing borrowers more but the positive side of that is interest rates on a lot of the high yield savings accounts are going up too. Says Chad: “There’s an opportunity to do a little bit more and have that money work harder for you.”

Chad’s top tips for getting financially fit!

Build an emergency fund: Experts recommend having three to six months of living expenses saved in an emergency fund to help you weather unexpected financial emergencies, such as a job loss or a major medical expense.

Pay down debt: If you have high-interest debt, such as credit card debt or a personal loan, try to make paying it down a priority, no matter how small of steps you take. This can help you save money in interest charges and free up more money in your monthly budget.

Fund an IRA: Contributing to an IRA can help you save for retirement and may also provide a tax deduction for traditional IRA contributions. For 2023 the contribution limit for traditional and Roth IRAs was $6,000, or $7,000 if you are 50 or older.

Fund an HSA: If you have a high-deductible health plan, you may be eligible to contribute to an HSA. HSAs offer tax benefits, including tax-deductible contributions and tax-free withdrawals for qualified medical expenses. For 2022, the contribution limit for individuals was $3,650, or $4,650 if you are 55 or older.

Invest in yourself: Whether it’s taking a class or workshop to develop new skills or pursuing a hobby that you have always wanted to try, investing in yourself can provide personal and professional growth, which can pay off in the long run.

Koch Disruptive Technologies (KDT) is leading a $30 million Series B funding round into Oshi Health, the virtual specialty care company transforming gastrointestinal (GI) health outcomes and economics.

BY THE NUMBERS:

In a clinical trial conducted by a national health plan in a large commercially insured population, 92% of Oshi Health patients reported symptom improvement, with 98% satisfaction.In just six months, Oshi helped save $10,292 per patient in all-cause medical costs.The company says these results have driven more payers and employers to reimburse access to Oshi Health as a covered benefit, and this funding will help sustain that momentum in the market.Currently available to more than 20 million people as a preferred in-network virtual GI clinic for national and regional insurers, Oshi has partnerships with community GI practices and a recent collaboration with Aetna, a CVS Health company.

WHY KOCH INVESTED: “We’ve seen the impact of Oshi Health’s unique care model, and we want to be part of helping health plans and employers understand the significant potential of its virtual multidisciplinary digestive care,” says David Mauney, managing director of Koch Disruptive Technologies. “We are excited to help scale access to Oshi’s best-in-class virtual clinic and proven outcomes, which have given them the clear market lead.”

WHY IT MATTERS: Unmanaged digestive symptoms are the top cause of emergency department treat-and-release visits, according to Oshi. Digestive disorders affect 1 in 4 Americans and drive $135 million in annual costs in the U.S. – a more significant impact than diabetes and mental health.

“We’ve paved the way for broad access to proven treatments that our traditional healthcare system is not structured or incentivized to provide, while building value for patients, employers, health plans and provider groups,” says Oshi Health CEO Sam Holliday. “Our investors are collectively funding the change-makers in the most crucial categories of healthcare. They see the transformation opportunity and urgency in digestive care as clearly as we do, and we’re proud to have them back our mission to free millions of Americans from their struggle with digestive symptoms and conditions.”In addition to KDT, others funding the round include existing investors Bessemer Venture Partners, Flare Capital Partners, Frist Cressey Ventures, CVS Health Ventures and Takeda Digital Ventures.

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging

By valuing individuality, we grow together.

Diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging (DEIB) are core to who we are. Authentically serving a diverse customer base starts with cultivating a diverse, inclusive and equitable workforce. We know that diverse teams build better products and customer experiences — period. And we want to foster a human-centered community that empowers our employees and their families, too. We believe that prioritizing the integration of DEIB principles into the core of how we work every day is the best way to serve our mission of making opportunity more inclusive for all.

OUR VICE PRESIDENT OF DIVERSITY, INCLUSION AND BELONGING 
In 2022, GoDaddy hired its dedicated Vice President of Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging, who is responsible for developing and implementing holistic, integrated and equitable programs that enable GoDaddy employees and customers to feel empowered and supported.

An Integrated DEIB Strategy

At GoDaddy, our DEIB principles aren’t standalone priorities. They are inextricably tied together with everything we do — and with each other. We recognize that diversity helps fuel inclusion. Inclusion, in turn, helps power equity and diversity, and inclusion and equity enable belonging.

Our DEIB strategy focuses on influencing inclusive behaviors and refining systems and processes through a lens of equity. In 2022, we defined our objectives to further integrate, engage on and expand DEIB principles throughout the organization, and we developed a multiyear strategic roadmap to continually implement these goals.

Through our work to integrate DEIB concepts and messaging into our internal and external communications, we further engaged our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) on our DEIB priorities and expanded best practices in areas like recruitment, employee listening and data analysis.

DEIB Performance

GoDaddy was among the first companies to announce and publish our pay parity results, and we’re proud to achieve gender pay parity (global) for the eighth year in a row and ethnicity (in the U.S.) pay parity for the sixth year in a row.1Additional information on our diversity results can be found in the Appendix of this document, as well as with additional context in the 2022 Diversity and Pay Parity Annual Report.

Global Gender 

Female: 29.7% Male: 67.7% Nonbinary: 0.3%

U.S. Race and Ethnicity 

Native American: 0.7% Asian: 15.3% Black: 5.2% Hispanic or Latino /a/x: 10.8% Pacific Islander: 0.4% Multiracial 4.5% Not Declared: 4.6% White: 58.5%

Inclusive Recruitment and Employee Experience

We made a deliberate effort to recognize and reduce unconscious bias in our recruitment and employee practices and systems, including performance reviews and promotions. We began this journey in partnership with Stanford University’s VMware Women’s Leadership Innovation Lab (formerly known as the Clayman Institute for Gender Research), and we continue to refine these processes in line with feedback, research and best practices. We employ several strategies to promote inclusive and equitable candidate and employee experiences, including:

Expanding candidate eligibility to include those with nonlinear or nontraditional backgrounds in early career talent positions
 Conducting additional efforts to directly source talent from different backgrounds and experiences to augment the standard application process
 Reviewing job descriptions with an artificial intelligence algorithm to reduce gendered language bias
 Posting all nonconfidential jobs on internal job boards to encourage mobility within 
the organization
 Providing an opportunity for applicants to choose their pronouns and specify name pronunciation at the time of scheduling an interview
 Offering unconscious bias training for interviewer certification
 Running company-wide performance management processes to reduce variance in performance assessment standards among gender and racial groups
 Employing promotion flagging processes that proactively identify potential eligible employees who could be reviewed for promotion consideration, rather than relying on subjective criteria and identification

Partnerships 

We use partnerships that help us fill our recruiting pipeline with top talent. 

Our partnerships include AfroTech, AnitaB.org and its annual Grace Hopper Celebration, Fairygodboss, ColorStack, Rewriting the Code, Ada Developers Academy and Code2040.

Employee Resource Groups

Our global workforce collaborates across several different time zones and functions, but we still believe in the importance of cultivating a meaningful and inclusive community. Even when they’re physically apart, we aim to bring together our employees working across different areas of the business and from different backgrounds.

Employee resource groups (ERGs) play a critical part of what fosters our culture of inclusivity. They’re employee-led groups formed around common missions, identities, affinities or interests, including those who are allies and champions. ERGs provide a space for employees to develop relationships, support professional development (both for themselves and others), engage in corporate projects and programs, learn from each other and participate in fun activities. In addition to the personal benefits, these communities help empower many of GoDaddy’s business priorities and goals across talent development, learning development, business development and community development.

We currently have 11 global, employee-led ERGs:

GD Abilities in TechGD Asians in TechGD Black in TechGD Entrepreneurs in TechGD Fitness in TechGD GreenGD LatinX in TechGD New GraduatesGD United (LGBTQIA+)GD Veterans in TechGD Women in Tech

GoDaddy plans to continue to enhance employee engagement within ERGs and to broaden 
their impact on both our internal and external communities. To better support our ERGs, GoDaddy is:

Reworking our ERG framework and structure to globalize, standardize and align with 
best practices
 Developing new and refining existing procedures, processes and roles to further empower our ERGs and their leaders
 Better integrating our ERGs and their members into our corporate priorities and projects related to DEIB, employee experience and other areas

1We define achievement of pay parity as pay that is equal to, or a few cents on either side of, a dollar. Please read our 2022 Diversity and Pay Parity Annual Report for more information.

RESTON, Va., June 8, 2023 /3BL Media/ – CACI International Inc (NYSE: CACI) praised POWs for their service, sacrifice, and unbreakable spirit at the unveiling of a CACI-sponsored exhibit at the Coronado Historical Association Museum on March 28 in California.

CACI has a long history of national security partnership with the Armed Forces through its many veterans, reservists, National Guard members, and military spouses who work at CACI and its more than 60 years of work with the Department of Defense.

The exhibit titled, “Open Doors: Vietnam POWs 50 Years of Freedom,” celebrates the courage and resolve of Prisoners of War (POWs) through photos and interviews. CACI acquired the exhibit in 2006 and displayed it at the company’s former Arlington headquarters for more than 15 years. This year, CACI donated the exhibit back to the museum to mark the 50th anniversary of the homecoming of Vietnam POWs.

“The images, stories, and perspectives of these heroes have touched and inspired us at CACI for many years. We are pleased that so many others will now have an opportunity to experience this exhibit,” said John Mengucci, CACI President and Chief Executive Officer. “We know they, too, will draw inspiration from their patriotism, their unyielding strength, and their triumph over adversity.”

Guests at the opening included families of POWs who have passed away and former POWs like Cmdr. Everett Alvarez, U.S. Navy (ret.), and Capt. John “Jack” Ensch, U.S. Navy (ret.), both of whom are featured in “Open Doors.”

The exhibit was sponsored through CACI’s philanthropy program, CACI Cares, which works to support and honor our military members and their families, including our veterans. To learn more about CACI Cares, visit https://www.caci.com/caci-cares.
