Driving positive change Through Global Language Access: Acolad Sponsors Translators Without Borders

By becoming TWB’s Platinum Sponsor, Acolad 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—we continue to pursue our 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. 

Our dedication to social responsibility extends beyond business operations, reinforcing the importance of language as a driver of positive change. Through the 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 our decades of expertise, we actively endeavor to give back to the local communities where we operate while also supporting humanitarian initiatives and public organizations on a broader scale. Through our accredited institution, Acolad Academy, we play 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.
