ÐßÐßÊÓƵ

ÐßÐßÊÓƵ Corporation selected 15 projects for its ÐßÐßÊÓƵ Helps 2024 Impact Your Community (IYC) program that in total will receive more than $550,000 worth of funding.

The annual IYC program supports projects around the world that can benefit a community for multiple years or generations, offering the Company the opportunity to leave a lasting legacy in local communities where ÐßÐßÊÓƵ sites operate.

Employees from locations around the world advocated for causes that they believed ÐßÐßÊÓƵ could help, submitting 59 applications for IYC funding. Projects were evaluated on a variety of criteria including having a robust governance structure and financial model, creating a long-term positive impact in a community, and providing opportunities for ÐßÐßÊÓƵ’s employees to participate in volunteerism when appropriate.

Please join us in congratulating the 2024 IYC Recipients.
