What We Do

KJT is committed to being your long-term strategic partner. Our exclusive healthcare focus enables deep empathy for the challenges our clients experience, such as scarce data, changing regulations, or limited resources.

Our experts make it easy to generate and communicate evidence to create meaningful business impact. From discovery to product maturity, our solutions support the entire product lifecycle and our dedicated account strategists continually adapt to clients’ evolving business needs.

Our Insight by Design approach to research applies service design thinking principles to generate bold insights that have business impact. We apply our systematic and rigorous process to every single engagement, and this human-centered design ethos captures insights that go beyond a study’s basic objectives.

This philosophy stems from KJT Founder, Dr. Kenneth J. Tomaszewski’s vision. From the beginning, KJT set itself apart through a holistic approach to market research that empowers clients to transform their business through evidence, insight and collaboration. And, our culture and values are rooted in the Latin ‘Meliora,’ meaning ‘for the pursuit of the better’ (inspired by the motto of Ken’s alma mater, the University of Rochester).

Our ESG Goals

Environmental Sustainability

We aim for carbon neutrality through Science-Based Targets (SBTi). Our initiatives include employee education, encouraging remote work to reduce commuting emissions and employee recycling programs.

Ethics and Integrity

We ensure ethical practices and data transparency, guided by our ISO 27001 certified information security management system and compliance with industry standards and data privacy laws.

Labor and Human Rights

We uphold fair labor practices, work-life balance, and diversity. Our core value of balance is reflected in reasonable schedules and wellness initiatives like meditation sessions and wellness breaks.

Our ESG Actions

Our ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) program is designed to create a resilient, environmentally responsible business that aligns with the values of its stakeholders and sets the stage for long-term corporate success and community improvement.

Reducing Carbon Footprint

Tracking our carbon footprint and working towards carbon neutrality has helped us to earn a Silver Medal in the top 15% of companies evaluated by EcoVadis.

Offering comprehensive health benefits, wellness initiatives, and maintaining a safe workplace.

Diversity, Equity, 
& Inclusion (DEI)

Dan Wasserman, Chief Operating Officer:

“KJT’s commitment to ESG demonstrates our dedication to making the world a better place. Beyond supporting our clients in improving healthcare globally, we offer employees ownership opportunities and commit to improving our communities and the environment. Our strategic partnerships are carefully chosen to reinforce these goals.” 

We’re also dedicated to excellence in research, data privacy and security, and being a great place to work – where wellness and diversity are a priority.
