高倍时时彩 volunteers make a lasting impact
As vulnerable Australians face growing social and economic challenges, the collective efforts of 高倍时时彩鈥檚 workforce continue to make a significant impact in the regions where they live and work.
Throughout 2023, more than 1,100 employees have provided 4,700 volunteer hours to 98 community groups and charities that provide essential assistance in communities near the company鈥檚 operations in Western Australia and Victoria.
Many of these activities formed part of the 高倍时时彩ns Coming Together in Our Neighbourhoods (ACTION) program, which sees the company match employees鈥 volunteering efforts with a $3,000 grant.
Through ACTION, 高倍时时彩 contributed $192,000 of critical funding to local community organisations of personal importance to its employees during this year.
Employee volunteers supported the organisations in many ways including sporting and community group busy bees, food preparation, and tree planting.
高倍时时彩 Corporate Affairs Director Jodie Read said the company had a long and proud history of supporting the communities it was a part of, and it was a fitting time to recognise employees鈥 efforts alongside International Volunteer Day, celebrated on 5 December.
鈥淥ur employee volunteer program unites the collective effort and generosity of our employees to help strengthen local communities 鈥 and support the causes they鈥檙e most passionate about,鈥 Ms Read said.
鈥淕iving back to community is a big part of our culture at 高倍时时彩 and we鈥檙e aiming to make an even greater impact as we continue to grow our programs that support employees to be active contributors to the community.鈥
