Our Charitable Initiatives: A look back at the last 18 months!
In recent years, our staff have been actively engaged in local charity initiatives. In this article, we'll look at some of those initiatives across the past 18 months, highlighting the positive impact we have had on our communities around the world.
March 2022: Step Up for Ukraine with Good Life
ReMark organised the Step Up for Ukraine Good Life challenge to achieve a community target of 2.7 million steps and donate 5,000€ to the Red Cross Ukraine crisis fund. This initiative helped provide humanitarian support - including first aid, shelter, and health services - to the people of Ukraine.
April 2022: Clean-up day in Tokyo
Employees participated in a clean-up day in Tokyo. They walked the streets, collecting litter from the ground to contribute to a cleaner city. This effort was undertaken in collaboration with the non-profit organisation Greenbird, and together, they helped beautify the local area.
June 2022: The #OnlyOneEarth Challenge with Good Life
We launched the #OnlyOneEarth Challenge via our Good Life app, motivating our employees to take meaningful steps for our planet. As a company, we collectively took an impressive 5,353,032 steps as part of this challenge. Furthermore, in collaboration with Animal Projects & Environmental Education Sdn Bhd (APE Malaysia), an organisation dedicated to rainforest conservation for a sustainable future, we planted 303 trees in Malaysia.
November 2022: The 50 Years of Pride competition
To commemorate 50 years of Pride in the UK, SCOR and ReMark participated in an art competition celebrating LGBTQI+ rights in Summer 2022. In this competition, we were tasked with defining the essence of "Pride" and explaining what it means to our organisation at its core, as well as our aspirations for diversity and allyship over the next 50 years.
In November 2022, it was a moment of pride as we were selected as one of the three winning companies, and our art concept was chosen to be brought to life by the talented artist Aphra Shemza. Our design was unveiled at an exclusive event during LGBTQI+ History Month in February 2023, and a panel ceremony was organised to showcase the maquette to both SCOR and ReMark employees in London.
January 2023: Prize donation to Mozilla in Rotterdam
ReMark organised a Christmas decoration competition. After winning, our Rotterdam team generously chose to donate their entire prize money to Mozilla, a global non-profit dedicated to keeping the internet a global public resource that is open and accessible to all, furthering their commitment to an ethical, accessible, and open web.
June 2023: A day with Fundación Y Apoyo Aprocor in Madrid
This Summer, our Spanish team invited Fundación Y Apoyo Aprocor — a private non-profit organisation dedicated to advocating for the rights of individuals with intellectual disabilities and their families — to the office.
During this special visit, the Spanish team welcomed three members from the organisation. Together, they engaged in meaningful conversations, sharing their interests, hobbies, and concerns. Above all, this meeting served as a profound lesson in humility and empathy. The morning was filled with enriching discussions, and the day ended with a pizza lunch.
September 2023: Sorting donations for Idia’s Community Kitchen
In September, our London office dedicated time to organising donated clothes at a local community project, which were later made available to individuals in need.
Idia’s Community Kitchen supports people struggling to live in Hackney, London, providing essential items such as food, clothing, books, toys and toiletries, received from public donations.
October 2023: ReMark Mexico's office makes a meaningful impact through a clean-up initiative.
Most recently, ReMark Mexico organised a trash clean-up activity. While logistical challenges and varying work schedules prevented everyone from participating together, each team member dedicated their time to the cause, making an impact in preserving and enhancing the environment within their local communities.
At ReMark, we are dedicated to both social and environmental projects and we encourage our employees to support their local communities.
December 2023: ReMark Hong Kong collects clothing for 'The Salvation Army' Family Store.
Finally, our Hong Kong team engaged in a meaningful initiative by collecting donated clothing from our employees. These donations were then given to The Salvation Army Family Store, making a significant contribution to the well-being of the community.
