Our Firm

Teneo partners with Billie Jean King across her business and philanthropic endeavors. The BJKLI encourages corporations and individuals to embrace diverse personalities and lifestyles for the positive and unique contributions they bring to the workforce.

Led by Ursula Burns, Gabrielle Sulzberger, The Ford Foundation, Teneo and The Executive Leadership Council, the BDAA is taking action to increase the number of racially and ethnically diverse directors on corporate boards.

Pharrell Williams, Ellen DeGeneres, Kenya Barris, Van Jones, Global Citizen and Teneo launched THE JUNETEENTH PLEDGE, a global effort to rally the private sector to ensure that Juneteenth becomes a paid holiday in the United States.

Teneo partnered with Global Citizen around their ‘One World: Together At Home’ campaign in support of the World Health Organization’s COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund. The global broadcast, curated in collaboration with Lady Gaga, paid tribute to frontline healthcare workers around the globe. Teneo played an instrumental role in rallying the private sector to participate in a meaningful way in support of this critical effort. The event raised a total of $127.9 million, providing $55.1 million to the COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund and $72.8 million to local and regional responders.

Teneo, in partnership with Global Citizen, launched in February 2021 Recovery Plan for the World, a campaign to end COVID-19 for all and kickstart a global recovery. This year-long campaign and series of events will aim to end COVID-19 for all, end the hunger crisis, resume learning everywhere, protect the planet and advance equity for all.

Co-hosted by Teneo and Global Citizen, the T2: Today and Tomorrow CEO Summit brought together the world’s top CEOs, political leaders, artists and influencers to address the biggest challenges facing business leaders today and tomorrow.

Teneo is proud to support our greater community & give back to those in need each year on Teneo Gives Day. On Teneo Gives Day, Teneo NYC volunteered for the Northeast Brooklyn Housing Development Corporation at the Golden Harvest Client Choice Food Pantry.

In 2020, Teneo kicked off its partnership with America Needs You (ANY), a non-profit organization that provides intensive career development and transformative mentorship to ambitious low-income students who are the first in their families to go to college. The ANY program is designed to bridge the gap between college access and career readiness and help address the fact that only 11% of low-income, first generation college students are expected to graduate with a Bachelor’s Degree. By becoming a mentor, Teneo volunteers provide 1:1 support by offering consistent coaching and career guidance through their mentee’s Sophomore and Junior year of college, helping them cultivate their strengths, secure internships and overcome obstacles.

For the third year in a row, as part of our CSR programme, Teneo is committing time, expertise and money to The Good Shephard NS through “Time to Read.” The Time to Read program provides children in second class with reading support from a business volunteer over a 20-week period. The program aims to increase the enjoyment of and confidence in reading whilst encouraging self-discovery and comprehension for the participating children.

Teneo London supports charitable causes through a three-year partnership with a democratically selected charity. This charity, selected through a consultation process with employees, is supported by the business exclusively for a three-year period through a combination of fundraising and pro bono support. The London team just began its 2020 partnership with the organization Tommy’s, which funds research into miscarriage, stillbirth and premature birth, and provides pregnancy health information to parents. Tommy’s believes it is unacceptable that one in four women lose a baby during pregnancy or birth and want every parent to have the best possible pregnancy outcomes and to take home happy, healthy babies.

Since 2016, Teneo has partnered with reading-based mentoring organization, Read Ahead. Read Ahead provides students with the opportunity to unlock their full potential through mentoring relationships based on a love of reading. Read Ahead partners with schools where the majority of children come from low-income households, and identify as Black, Latinx, or Asian. Read Ahead believes that a mentor’s individualized attention and encouragement are an important resource to help children succeed. Each year Teneo employees have volunteered to act as mentors and spend time each week reading with a child.

The Teneo Foundation has contributed significant time and financial resources, including donations in excess of $1 million a year, to more than two dozen nonprofit and charitable efforts. In addition, Teneo has provided, and continues to provide, pro bono advisory services to a number of nonprofit organizations.
