The responsible organization
Our people; our culture
Everyone at Thoughtworks plays a part in our commitment to social justice. We have created an environment where people can learn and challenge themselves. We also facilitate and encourage complex conversations that advance our understanding of social justice and the societal implications of technology, and inspire us to action. Not everyone here is an activist, of course! But we believe in being open-minded, intolerant of intolerance and supportive of those less fortunate than us. We are, as a community and as individuals, aware of our privilege and seek to use it to help others.
Our clients; our work
As a global technology firm, we believe we have a responsibility to constantly question the impact of technology on society, and specifically on people who are systemically marginalised and oppressed. While we do work in the non-profit sector to leverage technology as a tool for social change, we also work with clients in every sector, finding ways to build more equitable and ethical technology. This involves helping them develop policies, frameworks and strategies that promote equity and inclusion, educating technologists about privilege and bias; and actually building in the values of privacy, empathy, equity, and inclusion in the technology we create.
The social change framework
Our approach to advancing social change and promoting a more equitable tech future continues to evolve. Today, we use this framework to guide us, ensuring that we approach social change on every level.
Personal journey
We provide a platform for Thoughtworkers to become more socially conscious, empathetic global citizens and technologists.
Global impact report: Our purpose in action
Our purpose is to create extraordinary impact. In this report we outline actions taken over the last year across diversity, equity and inclusion, sustainability and social change both internally and with our partners.
Theory of Change
A Theory of Change helps organizations understand the answer to the question: are our efforts making a difference. Our Theory of Change journey helped us realign our social change efforts to a more measurable and accountable strategy.
