How Altair’s Corporate Volunteer Program Empowered 84% of Team Members to Give Back in 2024

At Altair Global, giving back to our communities isn't just a value-it's a key part of our culture. In 2024, our team members tracked 2,173 hours of volunteering across the globe through Altair Cares, our corporate volunteer program powered by our Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) initiatives. This marks a 3.4% increase in total hours year over year from 2023, but even more inspiring is the jump in team member participation, with 84% of our global workforce taking time to volunteer in their communities -a true reflection of our people-first values and purpose-driven culture.

Part of this rise in participation is thanks to a companywide change implemented in 2023, where Altair introduced a new benefit: 8 hours of paid volunteer time per quarter, or 32 hours annually, to support individual and team-based volunteer efforts through our corporate volunteer program.

Each team member at Altair is encouraged to dedicate their time to the causes that mean the most to them.

While Altair sponsors volunteer opportunities throughout the year, such as our annual Whoville Holiday Food Drive or the Big Texas Star Marathon near our Frisco, Texas headquarters, the lion's share of 2024's hours came from individual team members consistently volunteering in their own communities. This speaks to our ongoing mission of elevating the workforce mobility experience through innovation and compassion, not just for clients, but for the communities we call home.
