Outsourcing Impact Award on Education (Bronze)
CSR Education Support Program
Innodata Knowledge Services, Inc., through its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Education Support Program, reached thousands of beneficiaries across the Philippines. This initiative aims to provide students with essential tools and resources for academic success, collaborating with local schools, educators, and stakeholders to foster a conducive learning environment.
By establishing computer laboratories, smart classrooms, and libraries, Innodata has bridged the digital divide and opened up new opportunities for learning and growth. The company also monitors improvements in students’ academic performance, does regular site visits, and gets feedback from educators and students, ensuring that the outcomes are both quantifiable and meaningful.
Recognizing the critical role of education in societal progress, Innodata launched its Education Support Program as a cornerstone of its CSR efforts. The initiative aligns with the company's commitment to sustainable development, workforce involvement, and social impact.
The program's impact is evident in its impressive reach and scale:

Improved academic performance, enhanced digital literacy, and increased engagement in learning are just a few of the positive outcomes observed. By empowering students with digital tools and fostering a love of learning, Innodata also inspired students to pursue careers in technology and related fields.
One remarkable story from the program’s impact involves a student at Daanbantayan Central Elementary School in Northern Cebu. Before Innodata’s intervention, this student had limited access to technology. However, after the CSR team equipped the school with computers and books, the student’s academic performance improved significantly. Inspired by the resources provided, he began helping his classmates, creating a ripple effect of learning and support within the school community.

Now in its second year, the OIR Awards recognize outsourcing companies that have made positive impacts in areas such as community building, education, diversity, and health.
Accompanying the OIR Awards is the comprehensive OIR Report that analyzes each outsourcing company’s impact initiatives and highlights how their projects are transforming lives and industries.
This two-pronged campaign comprises an Outsourcing Impact Awards event, which honors outstanding impact initiatives by outsourcing companies, and an Outsourcing Impact Report, encapsulating the compelling case stories behind these initiatives.
By documenting and acknowledging the far-reaching impacts and corporate social responsibility efforts of outsourcing companies, we aim to foster a broader, more nuanced understanding of the outsourcing landscape and its potential to drive positive change.
