Abt Global is a mission-driven company – how we run our company is as mission and values focused as the work that we do. Our founder, Clark Abt, established a foundation for responsible business practices and that legacy continues today. Whether we are coupling innovation and ethics, supporting the wellness of our staff, or doubling down on the efficiency of our operations, we do so with a focus on mission impact.
Ethics and Governance
Leaders at All Levels
Our mission and core values are our compass. And our leaders at all levels play an important role in strengthening our organizational ethos.
OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS: SETTING CLEAR DIRECTION TOWARDS OUR MISSION
Abt Global’s Board of Directors is an inspiring group of women and men who bring expansive expertise from a variety of disciplines and unique insights to collectively maximize Abt’s impact around the world. In 2024, our Board was made up of 12 Directors, including seats held by the Chairman of the Board and Abt’s CEO. All directors but the CEO are independent of Abt.
OUR INTERNS: PAVING THE WAY FOR OUR FUTURE
The summer of 2024 marked the 10-year anniversary of our powerful internship program. Each summer, we welcome Abterns to join us for a 10-week internship experience. Last year, we hired 28 interns from a pool of nearly 6,600 applicants. Our Abterns—undergraduate and graduate students—deftly apply their technical, management, operational and financial skills to client-facing projects and internal operations. Working with and mentored by Abt leaders and experts, many interns continue beyond the summer program; nearly half of our intern cohort extended their engagement last year.

Employee Wellness
The wellness of our staff is a top priority for Abt. We offer robust benefits—comprehensive health insurance, generous paid time off, commuting and telework support, retirement assistance—and complementary benefits to support overall wellbeing. We believe we can make a difference when we offer resources to support healthier and happier lives.
In 2024, after surveying our staff to better understand wellbeing priorities, we launched a new Abt Global Wellness program for U.S.-based staff to enhance employee financial, emotional and physical well-being.
We partnered with SoHookd, an emerging and innovative employee wellness and rewards platform to expand our preventive and self-care offerings. When the program first launched in early 2024, all staff received special perks, including a digital wellness gift card, access to free online resources, and challenge trackers. Throughout the year, staff joined webinars and movement challenges, with the opportunity to win rewards. Employees who attended webinars—either live or by watching on-demand recordings—were entered into raffles for $50 gift cards for SoHookd’s Wellness Marketplace, and those that participated in Movement Challenges could be randomly selected for $100 gift cards. Abt distributed more than $90,000 in wellness rewards to participants in 2024.
