To all our clients, partners, and stakeholders, we are excited to share our second Corporate Responsibility report<\/a> that details the progress we made in supporting our people, communities, and small businesses last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We recognize the importance of our environmental performance, social responsibility, and sound corporate governance (ESG) to all stakeholders. In this report, we provide updates on our efforts from the past year and talk about our progress toward our stated goals, including our progress towards 1 million volunteer hours, supporting 500,000 small business owners, and 500 communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If there\u2019s one thing I learned as I looked back on the last year, it\u2019s the importance of human connection and belonging to communities. Personal connections have always been important to us at H&R Block, but now they are a top priority, for both our associates and our communities. We are uniquely positioned to champion diversity, inclusion, and belonging through our partnerships and programs that support diverse associates, minority business owners, and underrepresented communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
