Panduit Singapore is a champion of the Skills Change Lives initiative which aims to bridge the gap between classroom learning and real-world application. The Panduit Singapore team provides hands-on educational labs and internship programs backed by free access to the University of Panduit and financial assistance for those in need. This past year, they were a platinum sponsor of the Network Cabling Competition at the WorldSkills ASEAN Competition, and they hosted a Try-The-Skill Booth where the response was overwhelming, sparking interest and passion in learning a skill for many of the young participants.
In Romania, several groups of Panduit employees volunteered their time to help children have safe and friendly spaces to get healthy and to learn. The first project was cleaning newly renovated salons at the children’s hospital and the other was preparing a countryside school for the beginning of the new school year. Both projects exemplify the importance of stewarding social responsibility and served as a reminder that collectively we can help shape our local community.
For the children at the Kamami Foster Home, they offered academic assistance by providing math and spelling workshops. They also orchestrated a Bottle Cap Collection to contribute to medicine purchases used to treat children with cancer. Employees also volunteered at the Elderly Friends Club and The Sisters of Mary Jalisco Complex.
In 2024, Panduit directed its philanthropic efforts towards supporting St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, renowned for its innovative cancer research and treatments provided at no cost to families. Several fundraising activities were organized throughout the year such as the St. Jude Chicago 5K Walk with Panduit matching employee-raised funds and the most popular fundraiser, the online Basket Raffle.
