Tyler’s investments in corporate responsibility data management, validation, and processes drove efficiencies in sustainability reporting efforts
Tyler Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: TYL) has published its fifth annual corporate responsibility report, a compilation of the company’s environmental, social, and governance (ESG) activities. This report updates stakeholders on Tyler’s sustainability efforts and highlights key 2023 achievements.
“We often reference a three-legged stool – with employees, clients, and shareholders forming the base – that represents the foundation of Tyler,” said Lynn Moore, Tyler’s president and chief executive officer. “Our commitment to maintaining a solid foundation extends beyond delivering exceptional products and services to our clients. It also means understanding and embracing our responsibility to improve operational efficiency, invest in our teams and communities, and maintain strong governance practices. We’re proud to showcase advancements in our sustainability practices in this year’s corporate responsibility report.”
