In our journey to becoming a high-performance, values-driven company, we know there is power when we leverage our global presence to make a difference. We recently completed our CommUnity Day of Service, a global, company-wide initiative to positively impact the communities where we live and operate and strengthen our culture of teamwork, inclusion and service. Many of our office and site locations around the globe dedicated a day over a period of two weeks to serve our consumers and local communities as One Newell through service projects and volunteer opportunities, supporting causes that matter most to our employees.

Worldwide, across Newell, local teams put their unique stamp on service with a variety of actions. 130 local Ambassadors in nearly 70 locations and 28 countries brought over 60 activations to life. Brampton, Canada supported a camp program for children and families affected by childhood cancer; Maryville, TN, packaged food for a local food bank; Chennai, India and Mexicali, Mexico led beautification and clean-up efforts for schools in underserved areas; Atlanta, GA, Poznan, Poland and Exton, PA, volunteered and donated essentials to animal shelters; Lichfield, England created activity packs for children in long-stay hospitals; Scoresby, Australia organized a blood and plasma donation drive for the Red Cross; several of our sites worked with our corporate nonprofit partners including Save the Children (Hong Kong, China prepared stationery kits and wrote cards of encouragement), Boys & Girls Clubs of America and past Local Impact Grant recipients for their volunteer activity; and more.

CommUnity Day of Service doesn’t happen on its own. A special thank you to our 130 employee Ambassadors across 70 locations who worked to bring their day of service to life locally. Their leadership, ownership and commitment to collaboration and teamwork inspire and create meaningful change.

Our businesses and values are the foundation of who we are and how we operate. They guide our giving, unite us with a shared sense of purpose, and empower us to make a lasting impact in the communities where we live and work. When we engage locally, under our shared values, we strengthen brand recognition and presence with our consumers, deepen our understanding of the people we serve, build trust in our communities, and foster a collaborative and inclusive culture where everyone truly can make an impact.

Stay tuned throughout the year and follow us on social media to learn about the other ways we give back to our communities as One Newell!
