Throughout the year, and during its annual Aramark Building
Community Day, thousands of Aramark employee volunteers work to
build vibrant, sustainable communities. The company is committed to
enabling employment opportunities, increasing access to healthy
food, and creating better environments and community spaces by
mobilizing volunteers to share their time and expertise. In 2023,
Aramark supported more than one million students, families, and
individuals globally through activities that included serving
meals, providing snacks and toiletries, donating backpacks and
school supplies, leading nutrition education workshops, funding
scholarships, and creating educational or employment readiness
opportunities.
“Aramark is a hospitality company rooted in service. We’re
hundreds of thousands of people working together to bring about the
best results for each other, for our clients, for our customers,
our stakeholders, and for the communities in which we live and
work,” said Debbie Albert, Aramark’s Senior Vice President of
Strategic Communications & Corporate Affairs. “Serving others
is just who we are, and we couldn’t be more humbled to be
recognized as a 2024 honoree of The Civic 50 by Points of
Light.”
For more than a decade, The Civic 50 has served as the national
standard for corporate citizenship, showcasing how leading
companies are moving social impact and community to the core of
their business. The Civic 50 honorees are companies with annual
U.S. revenues of at least $1 billion and are selected based on four
dimensions of their corporate citizenship and social impact
programs: investment of resources and volunteerism, integration
across business functions, institutionalization through policies,
and systems and impact measurement.
“Expectations for companies to be leaders in civic engagement
continue to increase,” said Jennifer Sirangelo, president and CEO,
Points of Light. “Aramark demonstrates how to maximize the full
range of their assets – from people power to policy to financial
contributions – to meet pressing needs and create thriving
communities where they live and work. We’re thrilled to uplift and
celebrate them as an honoree of The Civic 50 2024.”
Last year, Aramark was an honoree of The Civic 50 Greater
Philadelphia and ranked #1 in the Philadelphia region for engaging
employees, purchasing and supply chain, and promoting a more
diverse and inclusive company culture. To learn more about how
