Corporate Social Responsibility
When we say we’re going to make an impact, we really mean it. For our clients, and for our communities, too. Social responsibility is one of our core values. Discover how we’re giving back to the communities where we live and work.
The West Monroe Social Responsibility Approach
Every company talks about being committed to corporate social responsibility. At West Monroe, social responsibility is not just talk. We are grateful for the opportunities we’ve been granted, and feel we have an obligation to give back. By bringing together our talent, experience, and resources, we believe that we can make a real, measurable difference. Our approach combines community focused, large-scale programs with grassroots, and employee-led efforts to support the causes most important to both our people and our communities. As West Monroe continues to grow, we are transitioning from a CSR program to an environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) framework.
We take a unique approach to giving and volunteerism, supporting our employees and the organizations they're passionate about through our individual match, Dollars for Doers, and Giving Friday programs, as well as aligning to philanthropic pillars that tie to our company strategy: Building the Next Generation of Leaders and Increasing Equity & Decreasing Discrimination. West Monroe's total impact value (a combination of our charitable giving as well as the value of volunteerism and pro bono efforts) equated to $4.9M in 2022.
Here’s How We Do It

We build the next generation of leaders by increasing access to education through tutoring, mentoring and college preparation, and increase equity and decrease discrimination by supporting nonprofits directly addressing issues of racial, healthcare, and economic inequalities. We understand that the focus of this pillar and others can and will continue to evolve as our company grows.

We aim to apply a sustainability lens to all industries served by West Monroe – enabling a competitive and responsible approach to business.
Our sustainability journey
We have a passionate cross-functional sustainability team that creates educational and volunteer opportunities, as well as measure and find ways to limit West Monroe’s environmental impact. This team has made significant strides to measure our overall carbon emissions. In 2021, we purchased certified carbon offsets for our emissions, achieved net neutrality, and have three LEED-certified offices. By tracking and measuring West Monroe’s environmental impact, the team helps to inform West Monroe’s next steps to reduce and address current carbon emissions.
