Gen Digital Inc. employees from around the world participated in the company's second annual Global Volunteer Week, supporting 37 nonprofits with over 1,800 volunteer hours, an 11% increase from 2024 [1]. The event highlighted the company's culture of giving and consistent yearly increase in employee volunteer hours.

Teams engaged in various activities, including cleaning and maintenance at a hospice care center, packing backpacks for survivors of domestic violence, and sorting meals for food banks. In Brno, Czechia, employees spent a day cleaning and conducting site maintenance at House for Juliet, Czechia's hospice care center for children [1]. The Brno team also donated multiple laptops and monitors to address the center's equipment shortage.

In the United States, teams packed 500 backpacks filled with essential items and uplifting notes for survivors of domestic violence through collaborations with National Network to End Domestic Violence and Project Helping [1]. Additionally, employees in Tempe, Arizona, and Plano, Texas, packed nearly 42,000 meals for Feed My Starving Children and sorted over 15,500 meals for North Texas Food Bank [1]. Mountain View, California, employees cooked and served 150 dinner plates for families at Ronald McDonald House Charities Bay Area [1].

The event also focused on supporting vulnerable populations, with more than 50 team members supporting people with disabilities through in-person and virtual sessions led by ACCEL [1]. Volunteers at the NAM Sales kickoff wrote 100 cards to seniors facing isolation, and in Chennai, India, volunteers visited an elder care home and spent the day with the patients [1].

Gen Digital Inc. has a long history of supporting local habitats, with employees in Dublin, Tempe, Brno, and Prague beautifying animal shelters, zoos, and equestrian centers [1]. Additionally, teams planted trees, beautified a learning center in Bucharest, and spruced up the outdoor space for Palata Home for the Visually Impaired in Prague [1].

The event also saw teams in multiple countries use Global Volunteer Week as an opportunity to reach out to children and young people. They shared their enthusiasm for reading and expertise in digital safety, and prepared school supply kits for students starting or returning to school [1]. Through Food for Thought, virtual volunteers created heartfelt, encouraging cards for school-age children in South Africa, and team members participated in events encouraging students to read [1].

The consistent increase in Gen Digital Inc.'s employee volunteer hours reflects the company's commitment to corporate social responsibility and its impact on the communities where it operates.
