BMC launches ESG report

Global leader in software solutions for the Autonomous Digital Enterprise, BMC (www.bmc.com) launches its annual Corporate Citizenship and ESG Impact Report and highlights the company’s continued commitment to reduce its carbon footprint, support DEI, sustainability and social causes.

BMC’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) approach centres on three key pillars – the BMC Cares programme; diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI); and environmental stewardship – guided by ESG best practices for the software and services industry and grounded in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs).

“Being a socially responsible organization creates an opportunity and expectation for each of us to make the right decisions to collectively impact climate change, diversity and inclusion, and make the world a better place,” explains Ayman Sayed, President and CEO, BMC.

Highlighted in the report are some of the impactful initiatives aligned to BMC’s purpose-driven commitments, including:
