Organizations should footnote all assumptions used. See usage guidance for further information.
This metric is intended to capture volunteer hours for community service contributed by employees. Organizations should include both paid and unpaid time spent volunteering, whether for company-organized events or for employee-initiated activities.
Organizations are also encouraged to report separately volunteer hours contributed during traditional work hours and those contributed outside of traditional working hours. Traditional working hours can be defined by the organization and should be footnoted.
Metrics identified as "cross-category" are those that are relevant to any IRIS+ Impact Category or Impact Theme (i.e., these metrics are not specific to any particular industry/category or theme).
