Â鶹´«Ã½

At the end of each year, we give back to our communities around the globe with a donation of $100,000. What makes this initiative particularly special? Â鶹´«Ã½ employees are actively involved in the decision-making process, voting for their preferred charities and allocating the percentage of donation to a curated list of 10 organizations. This approach helps the Company align our global impact with the passions of our employees.

The $100,000 in global donations represents more than just a monetary contribution¡ªit reflects our belief in the power of collective giving. By promoting active participation in the process, we aim to encourage a shared sense of responsibility for making a difference in the world. As the donations are distributed to the chosen nonprofits, Â鶹´«Ã½ looks forward to seeing the tangible outcomes of this collective effort. Whether it's providing education opportunities, supporting healthcare initiatives, or contributing to environmental sustainability, we¡¯re proud to contribute to positive and lasting impacts in the communities we serve.
