A message from our leadership


“I believe leaders today have no higher calling than to care for the wellbeing of workers and their families. At Alight, we’re uniquely positioned to support employers as they answer this call and are proud to support 70 percent of the Fortune 100—encompassing 36 million employees and dependents worldwide—in caring for their employees, one of the key components of the “S” in our ESG strategy.  We are also committed to identifying, articulating and acting on our own internal ESG priorities so our colleagues and the people we serve can thrive.”

Stephan Scholl, CEO

Materiality assessment


We completed a materiality assessment in 2021, the findings of which continue to help us strategically deploy resources companywide and refine our programs as needed. A 2022 review did not elicit any significant changes to the six themes that emerged as our primary areas of focus. For more information, please read our Global Impact Report.
