Corporate Social Responsibility

Vedior Asia Pacific Pty Limited has a strong commitment to supporting the community and we encourage our people to participate in a range of events and corporate volunteering opportunities. Here are some highlights from 2006:

Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation

In September 2006 our NSW teams kicked off an eight-week campaign to raise funds for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), the world's leading non-profit contributor to diabetes (Type 1) research. A range of interesting fundraising events were initiated across our teams including a senior management slave auction, raffles and doughnut drive; and culminating in the "Walk for the Cure" on Sunday 15th October. With 92 staff and family members putting on their walking shoes, a great day was had by all and a total of $15,000 was raised for this worthy cause.

Fred Hollows Foundation

To encourage our clients to participate in the Vedior Asia Pacific Pty Limited Employments Trends Survey 2006-07, we provided a donation for every complete survey to the Fred Hollows Foundation, which seeks to eradicate avoidable blindness in developing countries and improve the health outcomes of Indigenous Australians. As a result of the Survey, we were proud to donate over $3500 to the foundation.

Movember

Movember is a charity event held during November each year aimed at changing the face of men's health. We have a number of Movember participants who have committed to growing their moustache and along the way to raise as much money and awareness about male health issues as possible.

Christmas Donations

With Christmas only five weeks away, we are continuing our support of Children's Hospitals across Australia and Canteen in New Zealand through our annual Christmas card donations. Our major donation will assist the Children's Hospital at Westmead through the purchase of wheelchairs and a dental operating cart, used in surgery to correct cleft palates and trauma caused by cancer and car accidents.

In Sydney our teams are again supporting the Barnado's Star of Wonder 2006 Christmas Gift. Last year we donated over 100 presents to children in need so we are looking forward to making many more kids happy this Christmas.
