Marking its 30th anniversary, Acolad continues to drive social impact through multilingual accessibility and interpreter training.
Acolad, the global leader in language and content solutions, is proud to announce its sponsorship of Translators without Borders (TWB). By becoming TWB’s Platinum Sponsor, the group reaffirms its mission to enable communication and highlighting the vital role of the language services industry in global humanitarian efforts.
"At Acolad, we believe that language should never be a barrier to essential communication, whether in healthcare, disaster response, or refugee support, " said Bertrand Gstalder, Acolad’s CEO. " We are honored to contribute to TWB’s amazing mission, led by Aimee Ansari, and help bridge linguistic gaps in communities where access to information can be life changing."
By supporting TWB—a key organization run by CLEAR Global which provides language and translation support to humanitarian and non-profit initiatives worldwide—Acolad continues its deep-rooted commitment to giving back and fostering global communication. As the most visible face of CLEAR Global, a non-profit organization, TWB’s extensive network of volunteer translators facilitates critical communication, empowers communities through knowledge sharing, and ensures essential information reaches those who need it most—goals that closely align with Acolad’s own mission.
Acolad’s dedication to social responsibility extends beyond business operations, reinforcing the importance of language as a driver of positive change. Through its collaboration with TWB, Acolad actively supports initiatives that promote multilingualism, accessibility, and inclusivity, ensuring that language is never a barrier to vital information.
Aimee Ansari, CEO of CLEAR Global, stated: "We are deeply grateful for the generous support from Acolad, a trailblazer in the industry. Their commitment to language accessibility allows us to break down barriers and create a world where everyone, regardless of language, has equal access to information and technology. This partnership is a testament to the power of collaboration. Together, we are fostering a more inclusive future where language is a bridge, not a barrier."
"We are proud to stand alongside Translators without Borders in their incredible efforts to make a meaningful impact through language," added Gstalder. "Through our support we hope to help erase linguistic divides to empower communities worldwide."
As Acolad celebrates its 30th anniversary this year, it remains committed to being a force for positive change. Leveraging decades of expertise, the group actively gives back to the local communities where it operates while also supporting humanitarian initiatives and public organizations on a broader scale. Through its accredited institution, Acolad Academy, the company plays a vital role in strengthening the immigration and criminal justice system by equipping interpreters and translators with the skills they need to make a meaningful impact.
