MURRAY, Utah, March 01, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- R1 RCM Inc. (NASDAQ:RCM), a leading provider of technology-driven solutions that transform the patient experience and financial performance of healthcare providers, today released its 2022 Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) report, highlighting its commitment to purpose-driven work and to creating a positive impact for the communities it serves.

The report provides an in-depth review of R1’s continuous efforts to improve the outcomes of its customers and their patients, better the workplace experience for its more than 27,000 global employees, provide support for local and global communities, improve environmental conditions, safeguard its operations, and ensure strong governance and leadership. R1’s commitments support and align with leading ESG frameworks, including the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and industry-based ESG standards recommended by the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board and the Task Force on Climate-Related Disclosures.

Among many ESG-oriented achievements, the report highlights R1’s success in:

• Earning recognition as one of the Best Places to Work for members of the LGBTQ+ community by the Human Rights Campaign.

• Implementing and expanding numerous initiatives to strengthen inclusivity and diversity in the company’s workforce in furtherance of its long-term diverse leadership goals (50% women globally and 30% racial/ethnic diversity in U.S.).

• Volunteering more than 19,500 employee hours in support of more than 1,700 organizations through the R1 Helping Hands charitable program.

• Donating to many charities and organizations, including a $500,000 donation to the Nurse-Family Partnership – part of Intermountain Healthcare’s Primary Promise program – which aims to build a model health system for children and address emerging needs in children’s health from birth to adulthood.

• Improving access to healthcare by combining innovative R1 technology with financial advocacy for patients. The company’s robust financial counseling program supports customers’ patients in navigating complex payment rules and processes, allowing them to better connect with healthcare and financial assistance.

• Advancing progress towards planting 10,600 trees by the end of 2026 in India to help improve air quality, increase forest coverage, and sequester atmospheric carbon dioxide.

“Our talented global team of more than 27,000 colleagues bring the R1 mission to life each day. There are countless examples over the last year of R1 team members delivering excellence through purpose-filled work on behalf of our customers, employees, communities and shareholders,” said Lee Rivas, R1’s chief executive officer. “Together, we will continue to translate our ESG vision into action as we deliver technology-driven solutions that help providers improve their financial performance and enable a positive experience for the patients they serve.”
