Business Wire
The GEO Group, Inc. (NYSE: GEO) (“GEO” or the “Company”)
published today the company’s fourth annual Human Rights and
Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) report. The report
includes enhanced disclosures related to our Board oversight of
human rights and ESG matters, employee diversity and training
programs, corporate governance, and environmental sustainability,
including updated metrics and statistics for the calendar year
2021, in accordance with the new Universal Standards of the Global
Reporting Initiative (GRI).
The report also highlights GEO’s continued commitment to
providing enhanced rehabilitation and post-release support services
through our award-winning GEO Continuum of Care® (CoC) program.
During 2021, our CoC facilities delivered approximately 2.8 million
hours of enhanced rehabilitation programming. The CoC program
integrates enhanced offender rehabilitation, including cognitive
behavioral treatment, with post-release support services to address
basic community needs of released individuals, including housing,
transportation, food, clothing, and job placement assistance.
GEO’s Executive Chairman, George C. Zoley, said: “The
publication of our fourth annual Human Rights and ESG report
highlights our continued commitment to respecting the human rights
and improving the lives of those entrusted to our care. Our Board
committee structure has been expanded to include two new
committees. One dedicated committee to oversee Criminal Justice
Rehabilitation and Human Rights matters, and another dedicated
committee to oversee Cyber Security and Environmental Oversight
matters. We also recently undertook a Human Rights Due Diligence
Assessment. The results of this due diligence assessment have been
incorporated into this year’s ESG report. Moving forward, we expect
to evaluate additional human rights initiatives, including a future
review of our Global Human Rights Policy and its
implementation.”
