December 31st, 2024 — At aeSolutions, our commitment to corporate responsibility goes beyond business as usual. As outlined in our Corporate Responsibility policy, we strive to support our team members, their families, our clients, and the communities where we live and work. In 2024, we amplified this commitment through an enhanced charitable giving initiative, focusing on projects that deliver measurable and sustainable improvements in the areas we serve.
Investing in Communities with Purpose
aeSolutions is proud to direct charitable contributions to four key areas: Hunger Relief, Health and Human Services, Education, and Military Support. By concentrating our efforts in these vital sectors, we aim to create meaningful and lasting change where it matters most and strive to connect with causes that resonate deeply within our communities.
Overcoming Challenges, Driving Results
This year, our geographically distributed workforce created a real challenge to making this program strategic and inclusive, but the ingenuity and passion of our employees turned that challenge into an opportunity. We leveraged employee input to shape our giving strategy throughout the year, and our workforce's diverse perspectives allowed us to identify and support causes that reflect the values of our team and the needs of our communities. As Ken O’Malley, CEO, expressed, “I am so proud of our employees whose compassion brought to life a giving strategy that is meaningful to them.”
Contributions That Count
Here are just a few highlights of the organizations and initiatives we proudly supported this year:
· Matching Donation Campaign: We matched employee donations to the American Cancer Society, doubling the impact of our team's generosity in the fight against cancer.
· Educational Advancement: Contributions to the Society for Women Engineers and sponsorship of the Alaska Science Fair underscore our commitment to fostering STEM education and empowering future leaders.
· Hunger Relief and Health Services: We continued our longstanding support for the United Way Hands-On-Greenville (HOG) Day, and the Greenville, SC Meals-on-Wheels program, ensuring vital resources reach those in need. In addition to monetary support, several team members in Greenville volunteer their time on a weekly basis to deliver hot meals for community members.
· Broad Reach: In addition to these key efforts, we supported numerous health and human services organizations across the country, as recommended by our employees, strengthening the safety net for vulnerable populations.
Looking Ahead
Our charitable giving initiative reflects the heart of our company culture — a shared dedication to making a difference. As Joel Read, CFO, noted: “Our team members exceeded expectations with their support and enthusiasm for our 2024 charitable giving program, and it has been hugely rewarding to have such a positive impact driven by our core values.” By investing in community projects that yield measurable outcomes, we are not just giving back; we are building a foundation for sustainable progress.
Together, with our team members, clients, and community partners, we look forward to continuing this important work in the years to come.
