(LOS ANGELES) – ASM Global is proud to announce it has shattered it’s previous initial “ASM Global Month of Giving” initiative results by $1M highlighted by programs and contributions anchored by its workforce around the globe engaging in local community activities reflecting the company’s commitment to the people and places where it operates.
ASM Global’s corporate social responsibility platform, ASM Global Acts (unveiled in 2021), elevated the entertainment giant’s commitment to protect the environment, invest in people and strengthen communities around the globe.
At that time, ASM Global also announced the ASM Global Acts Foundation to support philanthropic and community-based endeavors guided by its sustainability and diversity pillars. In addition, the ASM Global Acts Scholarship focuses on serving diverse and under-resourced communities with educational and career-development opportunities. 2023, it provided 50 scholarships, with plans to double that number in 2024.
“This year, we had an unprecedented level of participation and collective effort from the ASM Global teams worldwide,” said Ron Bension, president and CEO of ASM Global. “It is truly heartening to see the impact we can make when we come together for a common cause, giving back to the communities in which we work and live.”
ASM Global’s Chief Human Resources Officer, Shauna Elvin, said, “What makes community is caring for each other. ASM takes tremendous pride in truly belonging to our hometowns around the world. These fabulous programs, which took place in November and December, energized our workforce and connected us with our neighbors via amazing acts of compassion and kindness.”
“ASM Global Month of Giving” activities spanned the earth. They included such international activities as a fundraising night walk-a-thon at Hong Kong’s Kai Tak Sports Park, whose main goal was to prevent blindness worldwide via midnight to dawn walk. In Australia, a charity golf day to help all people with hearing loss; United Kingdom’s AO Arena volunteers gave time by working and facilitating donations at the local soup kitchen where they cooked and prepared meals; In Columbus, OH, hosted a butterfly location and raising funds; Soldier Field Chicago hosting Thanksgiving lunches and many, many more.
Aligned with many of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, the new “ASM Global Month of Giving” is an extension of ASM Global’s longstanding commitments to creating a better workplace, a more diverse workforce, serving the communities where it operates, and contributing to a healthier environment and planet. The execution of these commitments happens at both the corporate and local levels, creating value at scale within communities.
