DESCRIPTION:

As part of their 100-year anniversary in 2012, Zurich North America encouraged its employees to make a sustainable difference in communities across the continent by participating in the “100 Ways” program. Working alongside organizations like the American Red Cross, HandsOn Network, Habitat for Humanity and the United Way, Zurich North America employees ultimately volunteered 25,000 hours to complete 465 projects and aid 278 charities, donating goods valued at more than $500,000.

To highlight service efforts, Zurich developed an interactive map that pinpoints the locations in which employees’ volunteered time or donated items. The map allows users to read about specific projects that occurred through the U.S. and Canada.
