Episode 14 of the Nielsen Experience Podcast features Crystal Barnes, VP of Global Responsibility and Sustainability, based in New York City. Crystal leads our Global Responsibility and Sustainability team, whose mission is to ensure that Nielsen is continuously transparent about our commitments to positively impact our society, communities, environment and the marketplace. Crystal spoke about how her passion, dedication and evangelism in the community has led her to evolve and lead our Corporate Responsibility programs. She also shared some insights from our recent Global Responsibility report, which goes into great detail about the different projects she and her team are working on to make a difference for our clients, investors and internal stakeholders.

We have 23,000 associates who participate every year in volunteering, which is an amazing number. But it’s what we do on the other days — continuing to encourage associates to identify and lead skills-based volunteering and projects with nonprofits. We, as a company, have a $10 million pledge to pro-bono activity and projects, and we meet and exceed that every year. That’s continued to encourage associates to leverage what Nielsen has provided to them as it relates to support and encouragement throughout the year, so that we can continue to give back.”The Nielsen Experience Podcast is a collection of stories about what it’s like to work at Nielsen – a global, independent measurement and data company – straight from our employees.
