Corporate Responsibility

Our impact is measured by the positive, lasting change we create in the lives of people and communities. Our corporate responsibility is a deliberate and dynamic journey. With nearly 50 years of service to government clients and communities, we are driven by our mission to move people forward, and we remain steadfast in our resolve to improve lives in the communities where we live and work.

Corporate responsibility at Maximus is more than a series of initiatives — it is the essence of who we are. As a company rooted in service, we take a holistic approach to our environmental, social, and governance (ESG) strategy. We prioritize belonging, empower our employees, support local communities, reduce our environmental impact, and uphold the highest standards of integrity.
