At Thomson Reuters, we believe that professional expertise can be a powerful force for good. This commitment comes to life through our annual Social Impact Sprint, a global initiative that connects our employees with nonprofit organizations to deliver high-impact, pro bono consulting.

Now in its sixth year, the 2026 Social Impact Sprint brought together colleagues and nonprofit partners from around the world for a day of collaboration, innovation, and measurable impact. The results underscore the potential of skills-based volunteering to strengthen communities and accelerate nonprofit missions.

A global effort with local impact

This year’s Sprint mobilized more than 160 Thomson Reuters employees, who partnered with 40 nonprofit organizations across 11 countries, contributing over 1,300 hours of pro bono service. This work represents an estimated $287,000 USD* in skilled consulting support; all provided at no cost to participating organizations.

From grassroots initiatives to established nonprofits, each engagement focused on addressing real-world challenges including, but not limited to, strategic planning, communications and operational improvements. Teams collaborated across regions, including the Americas, EMEA, and APAC, with in-person events held in Mexico City and London, complementing a strong virtual presence.

Empowering nonprofits through expertise and technology

A defining feature of this year’s Sprint was the integration of AI-powered tools into project work. Thomson Reuters volunteers leveraged solutions, such as Copilot, to help nonprofits enhance their marketing, streamline operations, and explore new ways to scale their impact. For many organizations, this marked an important step in their digital transformation journey, unlocking new efficiencies and capabilities that extend well beyond the Sprint itself. The results were clear: participating nonprofits received high-quality deliverables designed for lasting impact, from improved infrastructure to stronger strategic direction.

Investing in people and purpose

The Social Impact Sprint also reflects Thomson Reuters commitment to employee growth and engagement. Participants gain the opportunity to apply their professional skills in new contexts while building leadership, collaboration, and problem-solving capabilities.

In 2026:

• 64% of participants were first-time volunteers, bringing fresh perspectives and energy
• 100% of consultants reported that their work would have meaningful impact for partner organizations
• 100% expressed interest in participating again, highlighting the program’s value and appeal

By working across functions and geographies, employees not only contribute to social good, they also deepen their understanding of global challenges and strengthen their connection to purpose.

Creating lasting impact together through the Social Impact Sprint

Beyond a single day of service, the Social Impact Sprint is designed to create enduring value. Nonprofits leave with practical tools, actionable strategies, and new ideas to advance their missions. Employees leave with expanded skills, new perspectives, and a renewed sense of impact.

The success of the program reflects what’s possible when knowledge, innovation, and collaboration come together. As we continue to expand this work, we remain focused on reaching more communities, deepening partnerships, and leveraging our collective expertise to build a more inclusive and sustainable future.
