Adtalem Global Education Inc. (NYSE: ATGE), a leading healthcare educator, today announced the publication of its 2022 Sustainability Report. The new report details Adtalem’s focus and commitment to operate transparently with purpose and responsibility, safeguard global health and the environment and positively impact global communities.

During the 2022 fiscal year, the company completed its first comprehensive materiality assessment of environmental, social and governance (ESG) priority topics. The assessment was guided by frameworks established by the Global Reporting Initiative, Sustainability Accounting Standards Board and Taskforce on Climate-related Financial Disclosures. The new report incorporates the findings of that assessment, including enhanced disclosures on topics such as diversity, equity and inclusion; expanding the health professions pipeline; student satisfaction, success and outcomes; and public health and well-being.

“Adtalem is committed to expanding horizons for our students, colleagues and the communities we serve,” said Steve Beard, president and CEO, Adtalem Global Education. “Through our dedication to our mission and the betterment of our global communities, we can drive positive impact by operating responsibly with purpose, safeguarding global health, empowering individuals and progressing on our sustainability initiatives. I am proud of our colleagues for their dedication and achievements that are represented in this year’s report.”

Under the theme of “Expanding Horizons,” the 2022 report highlights include:

  • Aligning Adtalem’s Focus on Healthcare: With a sharpened focus on healthcare education, Adtalem is driving strong academic outcomes that produce a highly diverse cohort of practice-ready clinicians with knowledge rooted in the social determinants of health. By celebrating more than 750 physicians at its graduation ceremonies, graduating 19,000 nurses1 and nearly 400 veterinarians this past fiscal year, Adtalem plays a leading role in helping address healthcare workforce shortages and advance health equity.
  • Advancing One Health Through Education and Research: Adtalem’s family of institutions are educating the next generation of leaders trained to solve complex problems at the intersection of animal, human and environmental health. This approach is exemplified by the company’s One Health framework, an interdisciplinary approach to education, innovation and impact.
  • Addressing Adtalem’s Environmental Footprint: In support of its multiyear environmental goals, Adtalem continues to strategically identify opportunities to reduce its carbon footprint, embrace renewable energy and enhance waste management practices. Throughout fiscal year 2022, Adtalem and its family of institutions partnered with local organizations to advance recycling, waste management and treatment efforts to run more efficiently while supporting local businesses.
