Abt Associates Publishes Inaugural Mission Impact Report

ROCKVILLE, Md., Oct. 25, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- From its founding in 1965, Abt Associates has put impact at the heart of its mission to improve the quality of life and economic well-being of people of people worldwide.

The company's inaugural Mission Impact Report describes the impact Abt has had through its work in more than 50 countries, its operations and how staff engages with their communities.  

"As an engine for social impact in a fast-changing world, we are always innovating, always asking 'What if?'" said Abt President and CEO Kathleen Flanagan, "and we are always assessing what we can do better to accomplish our five mission impact goals:  Economic security, good health, social equity and empowerment, effective governance and a thriving natural environment."

From pioneering efforts in measuring the prevalence of homelessness in the U.S. to public health and environmental innovations in fighting mosquito-borne disease around the world, this in-depth report illustrates Abt's three distinct approaches to impact—creating knowledge, strengthening systems and directly improving lives—through more than 50 interactive graphics and videos.  

"We know it's not enough to have an impact only through our work.  It's also about ensuring our operations are aligned with our mission impact goals and actively advancing those goals in our communities," Flanagan noted.  "In practice, it's about making health and wellness central to our employee experience and decarbonizing our company by 2050."

She added, "The opportunity to have an impact is why our 3,600 colleagues joined Abt Associates, and our efforts move people from vulnerability to security worldwide every day.  Impact is what we're all about. "
