OUR AREAS OF FOCUS

  • HUNGER & NUTRITION

    The United Nations estimates that nearly 1 billion people are undernourished around the world. Nielsen knows more about what people eat than anyone else and we want to improve nourishment, globally.

  • EDUCATION

    Nielsen empowers clients through information. Individuals and communities are also strengthened through knowledge. In our effort to improve global educational opportunities, we are particularly invested in "STEM" education (science, technology, engineering and math) – topics highly relevant to our business.

  • TECHNOLOGY ACCESS

    More than two-thirds of the global population doesn’t yet use the Internet. Nielsen knows how information technology can improve lives socially and economically and we want to expand technology access and understanding.

  • DIVERSITY

    Nielsen’s business is built on understanding the diversity of individuals. We embrace the voices and choices of diverse people and communities and to cultivate relationships with diverse suppliers worldwide. Our goal is to increase the understanding and inclusion of diverse communities everywhere we operate.

  • ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY

    Through our global sourcing and real estate teams as well as local "green teams," we're reducing our global environmental impact in ways that also improve our operations. From reducing e-waste through the donation of our old computers to increasing the energy efficiency of our largest data centers and offices, from introducing “greener” travel options to planning “greener” corporate events, Nielsen teams are finding uncommon ways to minimize our waste streams and energy and water consumption.
