We strive to achieve excellence in environmental stewardship, social responsibility and corporate governance
Iteris is committed to respecting, fostering and advancing the interests of all its stakeholders, including customers, suppliers, shareholders and the communities in which we operate.
In support of Iteris' pledge to deliver exceptional value to all stakeholders, we are dedicated to supporting the following environmental, social and governance (ESG) principles:
Environmental Stewardship
- Helping city and state transportation agencies, and commercial enterprises improve the sustainability of their transportation systems
- Making immediate improvements in the environment and set the foundation for long-term reductions in emissions
- Continuously identifying, developing and implementing state-of-the-art approaches that maximize the environmental benefits of often misunderstood or overlooked sustainability opportunities
Social Responsibility in People and Culture
- Fostering an inclusive culture that values diversity across all functions, including hiring, retention and promotion practices at Iteris.
- Maintaining suitable working environments to protect the health, safety, and emotional well-being of employees at Iteris.
- Driving human capital management initiatives that promote employee development, training and support.
- Promoting awareness and prevention of human rights abuses through training and education.
Excellence in Corporate Governance
- Ensuring high standards of accountability through clear and open communication with all internal and external stakeholders about ESG-related issues.
- Encouraging strict policies that prohibit bribery and other improper payments to public officials consistent with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention.
Our ESG Commitment in Action
Optimizing traffic signal timing to reduce carbon emissions
Due to our innovative approach, Iteris has become a national thought leader and market-share leader in traffic signal synchronization.
We have completed more than 3,000 traffic signal timing, coordination or synchronization projects, covering over 27,000 intersections across 20 states that are used to control traffic flow for 7,500+ road miles.
FAIR (Females At Iteris Rising) Program
Female advancement and development are increasingly at the forefront of our mission at Iteris.
In April 2021, Iteris created the FAIR (Females At Iteris Rising) Program to establish a women-oriented network, and help identify and execute companywide initiatives to attract, retain, support, and develop women at Iteris.
Diversifying our Workforce and Fair Pay
We advertise open positions on diverse hiring sites including Women in Transportation and Open Jobs Network. Our Talent Acquisition team is committed to identifying new applicant sources to generate a diverse pool of qualified candidates.
We are committed to equal pay for equal work and monitor pay equity as part of our ongoing diversity and inclusion efforts.
Promoting Thriving Communities
The Thriving Communities project was launched in late fiscal year 2019 with the intent to use the power of our people, technology, and innovation to improve the communities in which we live and work.
Employees were surveyed on which community outreach opportunities they were the most passionate about. Ultimately, human trafficking was selected and the campaign to educate and raise awareness was born.
How we do business matters
Iteris' commitment to the highest standards of corporate governance is underpinned by our belief that the company's long-term interests are best served by engaging and being transparent with employees, customers, investors, and the industries and communities we serve.
We frequently engage with these stakeholder groups through investor and industry conferences, one-on-one meetings, and email and direct mail communications as part of our commitment to open and honest dialogue about the company's activities.
