Michelman holds 14th annual volunteer day across global sites

Michelman has completed its 14th annual Commitment to Community Day, with hundreds of associates volunteering with local nonprofit organizations across the US, Europe and Asia.

The company closed its offices, labs and plants to allow employees to dedicate the day to community service, with teams supporting more than 40 organizations globally through activities including garden preparation, facility enhancements, food packaging, landscaping projects and furniture building.

In the US, Michelman volunteers partnered with Greater Cincinnati organizations, including Brick Gardens, Brighton Center Workforce Readiness, Freestore Foodbank, Gorman Heritage Farm and United Way, among others.

European associates based in Windhof, Luxembourg and Aubange, Belgium, volunteered with organizations including La Petite Plante, Fondation Kraizbierg and Croix-Rouge de Belgique, carrying out projects such as planting seasonal flowers, repainting school facilities and assembling furniture for community spaces.

In Asia, the Pune, India team volunteered at SAMPARC Bal Asha Ghar orphanage, while Shanghai associates conducted a beach cleanup along the Lingang shoreline. Singapore-based associates partnered with SolarBuddy to assemble solar lights for children living in poverty in Cambodia and other parts of Asia.

'Our Commitment to Community Day is about more than volunteering. It's about honoring the partnerships we've built with organizations that make lasting impacts in their communities,' commented Rick Michelman, CEO of Michelman. ‘When our associates roll up their sleeves around the world, it demonstrates the power of collective action and our belief that business success and community well-being go hand in hand.’
