DALLAS – Celanese has unveiled an employee volunteer program of the Celanese Foundation that will help organizations and people around the world address economic, social and environmental challenges. The first projects for the Celanese International Impact Program are in Uberlândia, Brazil, where Celanese employees will assist three organizations that provide social services to their local communities.
“The company is proud of our employees who are giving their time and talent to support these deserving organizations in Uberlândia,” said Gretchen Rosswurm, Vice President, Corporate Communications and Corporate Social Responsibility, Celanese. “They come from China, Singapore, Germany, the Netherlands and the United States. They are chemists, accountants, managers, engineers and more. Each is a talented, committed community volunteer and Celanese employee. While in Brazil, these 10 employees will work in sub-teams to deliver specific needs for each NGO. This includes creating a sustainable marketing model for a community garden, enhancing volunteer retention for an organization that supports domestic violence victims and offering management tools for a home that provides free housing for females undergoing medical treatment.”
