(Nasdaq: TASK), a provider of outsourced digital services and next-generation customer experience to fast-growing technology companies, today announced the release of its 2021 environmental, social and governance (ESG) metrics, aligned with the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) framework.
This increased disclosure aligns with TaskUs’s focus on ESG leadership as an integral part of its long-term performance strategy. The metrics disclosed in the SASB framework highlight TaskUs’s strong corporate responsibility and commitment to ESG transparency.
