Michelman announced it will donate $750,000, distributed across a variety of community-focused non-profit organizations, along with STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) education programs and initiatives that advance sustainability.
The financial gift will be contributed through the company’s six global locations in honor of the company’s 75th anniversary and is in addition to Michelman’s tradition of philanthropy and giving back to the communities where it has a presence. Company associates will be actively involved in the giving process, selecting the non-profit organizations to receive support from a portion of the gift reserved for their local communities.
The announcement coincides with the company’s thirteenth annual Commitment to Community Day, during which associates from every location volunteer at charitable organizations. Michelman’s Corporate Headquarters are in Cincinnati, Ohio, with facilities in Aubange, Belgium; Shanghai, China; Mumbai, India; Windhof, Luxembourg; and Tuas, Singapore.
“Giving is an essential value for our company,” said Rick Michelman, President and CEO. “It’s important that we give back to the communities that have helped us grow and succeed. This gift is intended to make our communities even better places to live and work. In addition, funding for robust STEM education will help develop future generations of innovative thinkers who will be crucial in solving industry’s most pressing challenges, while also protecting our planet.”
