“I am excited to share the vital work we’ve been undertaking to
accomplish HireRight’s important ESG goals,” said Steve Girdler,
Global Managing Director and Head of Corporate Responsibility at
HireRight. “In 2023, we calculated our initial greenhouse gas (GHG)

our customers, employees, and investors in achieving their own
sustainability goals.”
Key highlights from HireRight’s ESG Report include:
