DonateAToy.org's virtual toy drive platform provides businesses of all types and sizes a seamless way for team members to give back to underprivileged children in all 50 states. Additionally, 2022 is the 75th anniversary of the Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program, adding special meaning to this year's campaign. DonateAToy.org's long-lasting relationships with reputable toy vendors enable them to match all website donations, multiplying the number of toys contributed to Toys for Tots. "It's a team effort," said Marc MacDonald, President of DonateAToy.org. "Our staff, corporate sponsors, toy vendors, and the Toys for Tots Foundation all share one common goal, driving as many toys as possible into the hands of children in need."

The Toy Match Program is a staple of this unique virtual toy drive platform and a significant reason why companies continue signing on as sponsors.

"The most important reason we've continued to work with DonateAToy.org is their Toy Match Program," said Reem Aliessa, Program Manager at Citi Volunteers. "It encourages our colleagues to give back to the community which is something that is core to who we are as a firm. After last year's virtual toy drive, we were astonished when looking at the number of toys everyone donated—and knowing Donate-A-Toy doubles that number makes it that much more impactful."

World Vision's First Asia Summit for Corporate Good concluded fruitfully yesterday. The two-day summit was held from 2 August to 3 August 2022 in a virtual format, reflecting on how corporations across the Asia Pacific region can lead sustainable change for children.

The Limitless 2022: Asia Summit for Corporate Good delivered impactful sessions and discussions, including issues of youth and inclusive economic growth, technology and education, hunger and sustainable food systems, climate change and bottom lines, and volunteerism for re-engagement.

The summit rallied around the impact that strategic partnerships with corporations can make to positively impact children and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.

More than 400 corporations and NGOs, over 30 of them from Hong Kong, came together to exchange views on concrete steps they can take to address issues facing children across the Asia Pacific region, for instance, exploring possibilities of applying their resources to overcome social and economic challenges experienced by children in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.

World Vision has worked across the Asia Pacific region for decades. In 2021 alone, World Vision directly impacted the lives of 18.7 million people in the region, of which 7.5 million were children.

World Vision is a global Christian humanitarian organization devoted to improving the lives of children, their families, and their communities.

World Vision has been committed to protecting and caring for those in need, particularly children. It all started when our founder Bob Pierce gave the last $5 in his pocket to help care for an abandoned Chinese girl in 1947. Through the years, World Vision has gone to where others would not. We've even reached the point of purchasing a large ship to rescue Vietnamese refugees in 1979. We believe that God is in the places where it is hardest to be a child—and we should be there too. So our mission continues to this day.

Schneider Electric, the leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, reports its first-quarter results for the start of the second year of its 2021-2025 sustainability program, confirming its continued focus on advancing towards its mid-term ESG commitments.

With its Schneider Sustainability Impact (SSI) dashboard, the company tracks and discloses quarterly progress to meet concrete targets related to climate, resources, trust, equal opportunities, generations, and local communities. Q1 2022 results are on track towards end year objective of 4.70 out of 10, with a compiled score of 4.00.

"I'm pleased with the progress made since the start of the year and how we've maintained our focus on sustainability despite complex and challenging social and market dynamics," said Gwenaelle Avice-Huet, Schneider Electric's Chief Strategy and Sustainability Officer, who recently took over from Olivier Blum, now Executive Vice President Energy Management. "It is with confidence and energy that I start my tenure as CSSO for this uniquely committed company that does not shy away from its purpose and always applies its experience and expertise to create more global and local impacts."

First-quarter sustainability highlights. Schneider Electric's EcoStruxureTM solutions helped customers and suppliers make significant decarbonization progress, and reduce their CO2 emissions by 358 million tonnes since 2018. It also extended its climate strategy partnerships with Plastic Omnium and NSG Group. In partnership with the Solar Impulse Foundation, Schneider Electric hosted a three-month exhibition at its flagship Intencity building in Grenoble, France, entitled 1000+ Solutions for Cities, where hundreds of visitors were able to discover and learn more about concrete and available solutions for sustainable urban environments. Schneider Electric now only uses recycled cardboard in all its distribution centers in India, China and Europe, and is progressing on green materials by joining the industry-led initiative ResponsibleSteel to ensure that the steel contained in its products comes from responsible sourcing and production and reduces their environmental footprint. Schneider Electric also launched a pilot project with over 100 strategic suppliers to help set up its decent work program that will be rolled-out later this year. New major partnerships launched in this first quarter in India and South America will help to accelerate and train more people in energy management. Schneider Electric, with the support of its Foundation and the individual contributions of thousands of employees, raised over €2M in donations to directly support Ukrainian colleagues and their families affected by the crisis. Schneider Electric also donated equipment worth €4M to help restore essential energy supplies in Ukraine and the Schneider Electric Foundation continues to work with local NGOs in support of the local community.
