Optimus SBR has been awarded Best WorkplacesTM for Giving Back, and we couldn’t be more proud. Winning this award for 3 consecutive years is an honor and a privilege that we don’t take lightly. For us, this award is much more than a plaque to display in our lobby or a title to add to our business profile. It’s a testament to our company’s Bold Attitude and Entrepreneurial Spirit. To Optimus, giving back is about actively getting involved in the community and making a meaningful contribution to its social, environmental, and economic betterment.
Our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Pro Bono committees are the engines behind our giving back programs. Comprised of passionate employees who embrace authentic and fulfilling experiences, these committees work tirelessly to make a positive impact on the community. Since 2012, the CSR and Pro Bono committees with the support of the leadership team and the employees, have raised and donated over $1,000,000, supported 112 different organizations, engaged 457 unique Optimus SBR volunteers, and contributed over 10,000 hours!
Our team is invested in the community where we work and live which is why we’ve taken a personalized approach to giving back. Our employees have the opportunity to focus on charities that are near and dear to their hearts, creating a sense of personal investment and connection to the community. Whether it’s volunteering at a local food bank, participating in a charity activity, or organizing a fundraiser for a cause that touches our team members, we’re committed to making a difference in the most impactful way possible.
But it doesn’t stop there. We believe that giving back shouldn’t just be a one-time event or a checkmark on our corporate social responsibility checklist. It should be a part of how we do business and how we interact with the world around us. That’s why we continue to implement sustainable initiatives and make ethical and responsible decisions that align with our company’s values and purpose.
We are honored to receive this recognition and excited to continue our journey of giving back and making a difference in the community. Thank you to everyone who has supported us. #bebold
