At Element K, corporate stewardship is a core value.  Whether providing free technology training to local schools and workers displaced due to a struggling economy, or engineering internal processes to operate according to sustainable environmental objectives, we're proud of our commitment to the lives of our employees, our community and our ecosystem.

Social Responsibility

• Element K donates free writing, business skills and technology training to Bayou Grace Community Services, an outreach organization serving the educational needs of rural counties in Louisiana still struggling from the effects of Katrina and other recent disasters.
• Workers displaced by current economic conditions from client companies can enjoy six months complimentary access to business skills, information technology, desktop productivity, web design, and personal effectiveness e-Learning.  
• Each year Element K donates thousands of e-Learning subscriptions to the Rochester City School District, helping both students and teachers acquire the skills they need to succeed.
• Element K helps returning veterans reenter the workforce with printable course materials and free technology training in partnership with CompTIA.
• Element K sponsors several community blood drives a year.  Our employee base is a dedicated contributor to the Monroe County blood bank.
• Since 1991, Element K employees have volunteered their noon hour to delivering hot meals to elderly people in need.  Ours is the second-oldest Adopt-A-Route organization in the Monroe County Visiting Nurse Service (the parent organization for Meals on Wheels). 
• Each year Element K raises thousands of dollars for its local United Way chapter, thanks to the efforts of community-minded employee volunteers.
• Employees have coordinated a Salvation Army Bell Ringing Campaign for the last 5 years, in addition to running an annual Food Drive for local shelters each November.
• Element K volunteers recently spent a day helping to beautify the grounds at Wild Wings, www.wildwingsinc.org, a local wildlife sanctuary, saving the shelter staff several months' work. 

Environmental Stewardship

In 2008 an interdisciplinary team formed to assess the company's environmental footprint and effect a positive change from within the organization.  Since that time, Element K has significantly reduced its waste, implemented large scale recycling efforts, intelligent conservation policies, and new equipment designed to conserve natural resources.  We seek to partner with organizations who share our commitment to a sustainable future.

Recently our parent company NIIT won Best IT Implementation leveraging Element K's vLabs.  The award recognized NIIT for setting up virtual labs to reduce the number of deployments via a centralized infrastructure, and reducing CO2 emissions.
